Abstract
A vision for the accessibility and interoperability of marine knowledge in 2020 was set out in the European Commission's 2012 Green Paper. Much of the progress so far has been achieved by a partnership of over a hundred European
organisations working through the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet), an initiative launched by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Maritime and Fisheries (DG MARE) as part of its Marine Knowledge 2020 strategy. However, many data collected by public authorities, researchers and private operators of coastal or offshore facilities still do not arrive to these national or regional repositories and are thus unavailable to scientists and engineers. There is therefore the need to streamline the data ingestion process so that data holders from public and private sectors can easily release their data for safekeeping and subsequent
distribution through EMODnet or other means.
Goals
The general objective of this contract is to facilitate and streamline the process whereby marine data from whatever source (including national monitoring programmes, research projects and private companies) is delivered on a voluntary basis for safekeeping to data repositories from where it can be freely disseminated.
