European Research Area "a unified research area open to the world based on the Internal Market, in which researchers, scientific knowledge and technology circulate freely and through which the Union and its Member States strengthen their scientific and technological bases, their competitiveness and their capacity to collectively address grand challenges."

Key areas of action: Researchers Research infrastructures Knowledge sharing: Knowledge Transfer and Open Access Joint Programming International cooperation …

Commitments within Innovation Union « By 2015 (…) have completed or launched the construction of 60% of the priority European research infrastructures currently identified by the ESFRI (…). « … opening of Member State operated research infrastructures to the full European user community…» « The European Union should step up its cooperation on the roll-out of the global research infrastructures. »

ESFRI – European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures Set up by the EU Council of Research Ministers in 2002 Brings together representatives of Ministers of the 27 Member States, 10 Associated States, and of the European Commission To support the development of a European policy for Research Infrastructure and discuss a long term vision at European level To facilitate multilateral initiatives leading to the better use and development of Research Infrastructures, at EU and international level Mandate (2004) to develop a roadmap (2006) and its updates (2008, 2010): 48 projects, major financial investment (~20 b€) and long term commitment for operation (~2 b€/year)

Marine RIs Significant support from RIs actions + (past) RTD projects e.g. MAST… technological challenges due to hostile env't Ship based exploration  multiplatform Innovation (e.g. gliders, new sensors incl. biochemical) Delayed data  quasi-real time Interrelated approaches & scales: in situ/remote - observation/modelling – local/regional/global – short- term/long-term - multidisciplinary “Dual” use: research / operational incl. monitoring (EU directives MSFD, Fisheries, GMES, GEOSS…) and… exploitation? Well organised community (EU & int'l) – yet very distributed nature of some of the RIs: towards an "EOOS" (expert group on MRIs)?

SeaDataNet partner countries NODCs + ICES + IOC-IODE + EU-JRC + technical experts (Slides from Dick M.A. Schaap – MARIS, SeaDataNet Technical Coordinator)

2002 – 2005: Sea-Search project (EU funding 3 ME) Building a Pan-European infrastructure for ocean and marine data management 2002 – 2005: Sea-Search project (EU funding 3 ME) Networking NODCs from 30 countries around European seas: Focus on metadata 2006 – 2011: SeaDataNet project (EU funding 9 ME) Connecting 40 NODCs from 35 countries around European Seas: harmonisation of metadata services and unified access to distributed archived data via central portal 2011 – 2015: SeaDataNet II project (EU funding 6 ME) robustness of services; machine-to-machine interfacing for specific communities; real-time data exchange; full INSPIRE compliance; improved capability for marine biological data

SeaDataNet infrastructure - services Discovery services = Metadata directories Delivery services = Data access & downloading of data sets Viewing services = Visualisation of metadata, data and data products Product services = Generic and standard products Monitoring services = Statistics on usage and performance of the system Security services = Authentication, Authorization & Administration Maintenance services = Updating by Data Centres A network of interconnected Data Centres and a central Portal, that gives users access to the various SeaDataNet services, and information on data management standards, tools and protocols. Versatile tools for editing (MIKADO, NEMO, ..), analysis, interpolation and presentation of SeaDataNet data output (ODV, DIVA) www.seadatanet.org

Common Data Index (CDI) Data Discovery and Access Service CDI is a fine-grained index to individual data measurements. The CDI Service provides users a highly detailed insight and unified access to the large volumes of marine and oceanographic data sets An intelligent middle tier connection is configured between the SeaDataNet portal and the local data management systems at each of the data centres. A shopping basket allows users to submit a shopping request for multiple data providers in one go and to follow its processing by each of the providers via an online transaction register. Providers include a data access restriction label in the CDI metadata which determines immediate access or negotiations in combination with the registered role of the user Data are delivered to users in standard SeaDataNet formats (ODV ASCII and NetCDF (CF))

(FP6) SeaDataNet A successful data infrastructure Enhancing the results of previous EC projects and initiatives on which it has been built Bringing together the main European and Mediterranean NODCs and marine research institutes Developing a common data infrastructure providing access to their data and metadata Developing vocabularies and directories that are becoming the reference ones for marine sciences Well integrated and/or cooperating with all the most relevant marine initiatives and projects as well as other environmental data initiatives Strong impact on new initiatives, many of them adopting SDN architecture and solutions
