Rationale and overall objectives
The key of the success of scientific and technical oceanographic projects are the speed and the ease, which wich users can identify, locate, access exchange and use marine data and informationSeaDataNet infrastructure aims to integrate and develop, in the context of new communication technology, past actions undertaken to secure, standardize and make available Pan-European marine data, meta-data and products.

SEADATANET Long Term Key Objectives
To give an easy access to marine data currently collected by hundredths of organisations under as many different systemsTo construct a standardized system for managing the large and diverse data sets collected by the oceanographic fleets and the new automatic observation systems. To prepare synthetic value added information products

SeaDataNet concept
Based on a semi-distributed model that incorporates, but enhances, the currently existing infrastructures and technology:Networking of the data centres in a unique virtual data management system to provide on-line access to integrated data sets from the various sources. Development of common standards based on ISO19115 and Marine XML Use of the most adapted communication technology.

Steps of development
The project presents several technical and organizational challenges, which make necessary to progress by steps to get a fully operational system:
1. Design Study2. Development and start of System
Implementation 3. Operation and Maintenance of the
system on routine mode, with adaptability to other new observations and new technologies

Step 1: SeaDataNet-Design Study
Full title: Pan-European infrastructure for Ocean & Marine Data management – Design Study for on line integrated data access to distributed heterogeneous systems Specific objective: to prepare a blue print for the infrastructure, to create a prototype portal, organize and test the networking, to explore expansion of the network from NODC’s to other major institutes, and to report on feasibility, expected costs and funding options, nationally and internationallySubmitted: March 2004 – proposal reference number: FP6-011990

the tables in the proposal indicate the calculations by tasks and partners according to the kind of tasks and institutes (FC or SC) and the way the overheads should be includedAs the total should be no more than total budget/2., it has been necessary to apply some general reduction coefficient about 0.8 on the tasks costs.
