Purpose
Evaluate the current state
Define the potential future of Marine Spatial Data Infrastructures (MSDIs).
Emphasize the rapid evolution of technologies and methodologies for generating non-navigational location-based information of value to a broad range of users (much larger market)
Propose, potentially, a full test bed /pilot with a focus on key use cases identified in the final report, for example, Cross community bathymetric information sharing for the Arctic.

Background
Rapid advancement of technologies means increased diversity of data collectors , e.g. increased bathymetric data collection from non traditional sources (e.g. corporate, citizens)
Organizations collect data of value to a multitude of non-navigational applications (e.g. Ocean science, energy exploration, UN sustainable development goal 14 )
There is a need to account for the integration of diverse data sources/capabilities such as (but not limited to);
Crowd-sourced bathymetric data collection
Autonomous surface and submerged vehicle data collection
Satellite / airborne imaging for shallow water bathymetric collection
Shipboard active bathymetric data collection
Explosion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their potential application
Big data analytics

Objectives
Document;
Current state of MSDIs
Needs for a MSDI based on current emerging technologies
Strategies to interoperate with other Spatial Data Infrastructures
Develop a common interoperability reference architecture
Engage with experts from across the user community, echnology / information and services providers, including hydrographic offices, industry, government, research, and other SDOs.
Propose a potential follow on OGC innovation pilot project or testbed, with a focus on key use cases identified in the final report, such as but not limited to cross community bathymetric information sharing for the Arctic.
