EMODnet Chemistry 2
3rd Steering Committee
Hotel Park, Split (Croatia),
20 June 2014
Project Management (WP0) and administrative issues:
• The Service Contract (signed 16/8/2013), the CA (signed) and 10 Subcontracts over 14 signed (MHI, UkrSCES, IBSS, YugNIRO missing)
• 4 mailing lists: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
• Website under restyling. Data layer for the main page?
CDI: zoom to tender parameter groups in the European Seas
OceanBrowser: update titles for user friendliness
Update banner in the access and viewing services
• Extranet for the project: continuously updated. More?

EMODnet Chemistry 2 – 3rd Steering Committee, 20 June 2014
Project Management (WP0) and administrative issues:
• First interim report… Should include summary of work done and what remains to be done, challenged faced, effort spent on data preparing and providing, developing standards (M12, M24, M36).
• All partners should provide within 6/7/2014 a short summary of their activities, including:
Work done in the first year
Work expected in the next two years
Difficulties encountered
Effort spent on data access, data management and standards development
• How to deal with existing events of non-fulfillment of contractual obligations such as meeting attendance, carrying out of activity, report submission?
EMODnet Chemistry 2 – 3rd Steering Committee, 20 June 2014
How to increase communication and feedback?
With partnership
• mailing lists, extranet (working area), web portal
• videoconferences and ad hoc meetings
• next plenary meeting (Istanbul? June 2015?)
• next Steering Committee (where? December 2014?)
With stakeholders (WP5)
• too difficult to involve DG ENV, EEA, RSCs
What else?
EMODnet Chemistry 2 – 3rd Steering Committee, 20 June 2014
EMODnet Secretariat:
Jan-Bart Calewaert, Liesbeth Renders (Seascape Consultants, UK) was commissioned (MARE/2012/15) to coordinate and support
(i) the monitoring of EMODnet projects,
(ii) the dissemination of their results,
(iii) the analysis of user feedback and statistics.
Organised EMODnet Steering Committee (secretariat, 7 lots, 2 checkpoints, DG MARE). 1st meeting: JPI Oceans,16-17/12/2013 and 2nd meeting: CNR, 4-5/6/2014
Output: development of Entry Portal, 3 SC meeting per year

Data collection and metadata compilation in sea regions (WP1):
● Overview of the data collection from the regional leaders (10 min. each): progress and difficulties
● Way forward for the data central buffer (Dick Schaap)● Vocabularies extensions for EMODnet Chemistry scope (P35,
tender parameter groups)● Schedule for the second year (M15 data, M18 harvesting, M20
products)● Priority list (parameters/matrices): biota is only Mytilus
galloprovincialis?

Data Products generation in sea regions (WP2):
● Progress and difficulties for the first set of classic products (DIVA maps and TS plots)
● How to deal with results from the pilot phase?● DIVA Maps at the appropriate time period: focus to selected areas● Consolidate work flow to identify appropriate TS● Use of CHASE assessment tool with EMODnet data in the North sea
and eventually selected pilot areas (as WMS layer) to be loaded into OceanBrowser (Martin M. Larsen)
● Products for Regions with more than 1 MSFD region● Use cases in the Central Portal: how to provide data or data
products?
EMODnet Chemistry 2 – 3rd Steering Committee, 20 June 2014
QA/QC - Validation - MSFD interaction (WP3):
● Status in data products validation process with local experts (regional leaders),
● Feedback from Expert WS on data products validation,● Strategy for the next Expert WS,● Inventory of QC procedures at NODCs, possible extensions● Do we have enough data (i.e. local statistics) for the QC of
parameters in sediment and biota?● No MSFD official boundaries but EMODnet sea regions

Portal development and operation (WP4):
• dynamic Time Series: layer with Stations and Graphics to be integrated into OceanBrowser, how to improve selection
• vertical sections properly exposed in the OceanBrowser
• implementation of P35 vocab on Odv and Sextant
• tender parameters categories (e.g. fertilizers, pesticides and biocides... ) used for data and products
• Sextant improvement in user-friendliness of services (products search including sea regions)
• WMS/WFS sharing between Emodnet Physics and Chemistry
EMODnet Chemistry 2 – 3rd Steering Committee, 20 June 2014
Portal development and operation (WP4):
• cloud hosting for data buffers as offered by Cineca
Additional developments as discussed at the first TWG:
• new functionality in the CDI User Interface for searching based on the distance along the coastline
How to add value to coastal stations?
• Additional data plotting along (or near) the coastline to valorize coastal data (with classes of value) loaded in OceanBrowser
• New punctual visualizations planned with classes of values
EMODnet Chemistry 2 – 3rd Steering Committee, 20 June 2014
Analyses and Recommendations (WP5):
● Definition of the user panel + questionnaire together with SDN, to collect specific MSFD feedback
WP Objectives:
• To engage with MSFD stakeholders and align/revise chemical portal and products through dialogue
• To identify key users and report on the effectiveness of the system in meeting the needs of end-users
• To provide a summary feedback to WP2 (data products)
• To analyse what further steps need to be taken for improvement, expansion and sustainability: lessons learned, interoperability and cross-comparison
• To establish efficient tools to obtain users feedback
