Marine Discovery Metadata Standard September 2016 Port of London Authority

Data Guidelines September 2016 Port of London Authority Provide guidance on what metadata needs to be collated to allow data to be re-used – not guidance on how to collect data Drafted by DACs and other expert bodies. Help to speed up data ingestion into DACs and subsequently makes re-use easier Field Title MCO Description Recommended Controlled Vocabulary or Format Examples surveyName M Title of the survey Free text; 2004 CCW Menai Strait benthic monitoring survey surveyAbstract Brief description of the purpose of the survey and other types of measurements that were made for the survey. Survey was the first in a series of 3 in 2010 whose specific aim was to identify sites suitable for further monitoring. Geophysical techniques were used in combination with grabs and cores to assess seabed type. Field format: Free text, Decimal, Controlled Vocabulary

The MEDIN portal MEDIN 2014-2019 Business Plan September 2016 Port of London Authority portal.oceannet.org “… provides a single point of access from which to find out about marine data from all the different UK organisations…” MEDIN 2014-2019 Business Plan Governed by MEDIN Discovery Metadata Standard Aim is to have all public funded data available under Open Government Licence MEDIN portal went online in June 2010 Portal currently being upgraded and modernised.

Is MEDIN working? Good coverage? September 2016 Port of London Authority >10,000 datasets accessible through portal > 500 organisations have metadata in portal (~200 in 2008)
