4. Action: M1 - M6: gathering data sets following the inventory, converting these to ODV format (using NEMO software), compiling metadata in CDI format (using MIKADO software), populating the CDI service (in cooperation with MARIS), getting connected in case not yet done (configuring the Download Manager software in cooperation with MARIS) following the priority list:  start with observation data sets from 1999 to present with oxygen, fertilisers/nutrients, chlorophyll-a, silicates and acidity in the water column;  then follow up by observation data sets with heavy metals, hydrocarbon, pesticides, and antifulants, first in sediment and biota (Mytilus sp);  then later for the water column and other biota species. The aim is to have at least the first priority done in the first 6 months to allow for the QA/QC and production of the first data products between M6 and M12. The data gathering and CDI population will continue during the project (all participants).
