INSPIRE Conference 2011, Edinburgh – Marine Workshop 28 June Legacy Issues – Data from Product Nautical chart data designed for navigation Individually compiled leading to inconsistency ENC base mostly managed as individual mini datasets (although does not need to be) Existing raster products vary in scale and projection Conservative depths may not be suitable for wider use Some features are illustrative and do not accurately depict real world situation e.g. boundaries

INSPIRE Conference 2011, Edinburgh – Marine Workshop 28 June Legacy Issues – Data from Product Vector charts (ENCs) contain inconsistent and discontinuous features Raster charts include overlaps in coverage, annotations and variable projections In present form chart data is unsuitable for publication in web services

INSPIRE Conference 2011, Edinburgh – Marine Workshop 28 June Boundary Issues Mapped boundaries may carry a prima facie indication to a Court of Law that a boundary in fact exists Problems arise when boundaries are derived from product meant for situation awareness Engineering from source means revisiting original legislation to ensure accuracy and legitimacy NMCAs to review survey, ‘mereing’ and generalization policies and procedures Urgent need to ensure published boundary data is fit for intended use and any shortcomings explained clearly

INSPIRE Conference 2011, Edinburgh – Marine Workshop 28 June To think about today... INSPIRE provides stimulus and a framework to improve the management, publication and value of marine spatial data The data management needs of Marine Spatial Planning can be addressed by: - recognising the integrated nature of marine evidence - adopting SDI and hence data management principles However, many key challenges remain: - IPR issues arising at each stage of the value chain - Ensuring SDI components are understood and applied - Systems and tools are developed and used appropriately - Legacy issues are addressed by harmonising content and reverting to source
