Towards Data Centricity NORTH SEA HYDROGRAPHIC COMMISSION (31) Amsterdam, 25-27 June 2014 UK

Do you focus on products or data? Do you collect data only so that you can produce products? Do you only produce products for a narrow group of users? Should we think differently?

From Data to Knowledge Knowledge Information Data Data collected that doesn’t directly contribute to knowledge utilised Information held that doesn’t leave organisation

Knowledge Information Data Knowledge delivered to a wide range of users Information Data Knowledge Full scope of data held is utilised

Products Data Sets Typical product focused approach 1 2 3 Multiple copies of the same data held for separate products A A B B Can lead to inefficiency, and discrepancies between products Data Sets

4 Pillars of MSDI MSDI delivers a wide range of knowledge to a wide range of disciplines MSDI requires data to be held in a generic format

IHO Universal Hydrographic Data Model (S-100) Enables enhanced data sharing across multi-disciplinary groups.

Which domains do HOs interact with? E-Nav E-Maritime MSDI

Data centricity Product 1 Data export S-100 Product 2 Multiple disciplines supported by data export Product 3 Multiple products supported from central data store

NSHC is invited to: Note this report Encourage a more data centric approach Engage in discussions about how HOs can contribute to e- navigation, MSDI and other geospatial initiatives Request HOs to offer support to the MSDI Working Group, through promotion of best practice and sharing of issues and concerns Consider relevance to the North Sea Region Take any other actions as it considers appropriate.
