What is Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI)?
Change in the landscape The need for greater access and sharing of public data; open data initiatives; the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies and the advent of the power of "place" driven by the expectations of users viewing, analyzing and using spatial data
Change in the landscape This means increased communication and data exchange between maritime/hydrographic agencies and the stakeholders (both ways)
Change in the landscape Shift from a product based to a data centric organization
The Data Information Knowledge triangle
Why is MSDI important to a HO? Involvement in MSDI will elevate the importance of hydrography across a wider marine sector in-country and regionally as well as giving a wider user community exposure to the data and information that can be provided by the HO. It will also provide politicians with the information necessary for government per se, to gain a greater interest and understanding of the role of hydrography nationally.
