1. NSHC 2010 – EMODNET-Hydrography The EU EMODNET-Hydrography pilot project

2. NSHC 2010 – EMODNET-Hydrography 2 / 16 EMODNET-Hydrography objectives  EU (DG MARE) : service contracts for creating pilot components of EMODNET  EMODNET : To migrate fragmented and inaccessible marine data into interoperable, continuous and publicly available data streams for complete maritime basins  Pilot components : To define processes, best technology and approximate costs of a final EMODNET  Hydrography portal : one of the portals developed as part of the preparatory actions

3. NSHC 2010 – EMODNET-Hydrography 3 / 16 EMODNET-Hydrography : partnership  7 partners : MARIS, ATLIS (NL), IFREMER, SHOM (FR), NERC/NOCS (UK), GSI (IE), IEO (ES)  2 associated partners : ISMAR- CNR (IT), UNEP-GRID Arendal (NO, int. Organization)  5 data providers : HO’s from Germany, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands and Belgium

4. NSHC 2010 – EMODNET-Hydrography 4 / 16 EMODNET-Hydrography : approach  To involve institutes, authorities and HO’s in providing hydrographic data sets for producing Digital Terrain Models with resolution of 0.25*0.25 minute  To use a metadata discovery service : SeaDataNet CDI metadata standard  To develop a high-end hydrographic portal :  Powerful spatial database for the DTMs  WMS services (OGC)  Access to the background data via the CDI
