10. Integration - interoperability
EMODnet Chemistry provides controlled and synchronized access to regional standardized, aggregated and validated marine chemical datasets
EMODnet Chemistry adopts 3 layers of interoperability:
formats and vocabs on a technical level (ODIP)
QC, flag on a content wise layer (IOC/IODE, including NOAA and ICES)
Collection and processing, providing details on instruments and lab tests

11. Memorandum of Understanding
The following MoU are discussed to formalise data exchange mechanisms and cooperation:
With BSCS and UNEP/MAP (involved as subcontractors)
With EEA for thematic report
With INFO-RAC for synergy between information systems
With CMEMS - Copernicus INSTAC (following data requests from CMEMS-Med-MFC and CMEMS-Baltic-MFC)
OSPAR/MCS and ICES for marine litter data exchange
