NA8 Dissemination in SeaDataNet

Demonstrate the data, products and services of SeaDataNet infrastructure promote them among potential users and data providersTo make them aware and eager to use themGet feedback on their quality and impact on user applications

SDN KickOff Heraklion 8-9, 2006

NA8.1: Coordination, Preparation of promotional material: brochure and leaflets, poster, bi-annual Newsletters; articles in relevant magazines and journals, presentation in congresses and conferences, Maintenance of a logbook of the available documents;NA8.4: University lectures to train the students how to use the data;NA8.5: General Public web site including publications logbook and users forum, contacts to the medias.


What is the role of SDN?

Political issues (including INSPIRE)International efforts (e.g. GEOSS)European initiatives (e.g. GMES)


Towards a strategy to protect and conserve the marine environment

1.3. Reporting and Handling of Data and Information

• The situation with regard to reporting and management of data and information is also far from ideal. Data are then not always available in electronic form and data policies and conditions on use impede easy exchange of information. There is a need to improve the situation with regard to reporting, the handling and the management of data and information.


INSPIRE Infrastructure for spatial information The INSPIRE proposed directive is

asking for the provision of the following services:

- Discovery- View- Download- Transformation- Services allowing spatial data

services to be invoked


International Framework

GMES and GEOSS

Need infrastructure for data exchange

Operational Oceanography

MERSEA and ECOOP

Need pan-european infrastructure for data access


Role of the Dissemination

Internally:

disseminate information, contributing to build homogeneous DM protocols, services, infrastructures, etc.

Externally

inform on the progresses in infrastructures and demonstrate the advantages


Tools

Training Courses

University Courses

International Conferences

Newsletters

Help Desk / feedbacks

Other ‘classical materials’ (posters, leaflets, etc)


International conferences

Conference 1 (end of second year)show the existing systems and compare them – strategies of main projects and SDN vision (DMACS, SDN, other …)

Conference 2 (end of fourth year) show the progresses/achievements of SDN comparison with other international initiatives


1st International conference

Define an organisation groupMaximum number of participants (100 -

150?) on the base of available budgetPlace (Blanes – Spain?)Issues


University courses

Define the content of the course using the existing experiences (IFREMER + OceanTeacher from IOC)

Universities that can contribute? How create collaboration with SDN

Visibility on the SDN and on Universities webs


Newsletters

Inform on SDN initiatives (training, conferences, …) and on progresses. All WPs should contribute (2 per year)

Links with MERSEA, ECOOP, MOON, BOOS, NOOS, Arctic GOOS, IB-GOOS, BS GOOS to assure large dissemination through e-mailing lists


From SeaSearch to SeaDataNet

Initial SeaDatNet brochure – to be finalised: some names are wrong; check please

A portfolio has been prepared with information on SeaSearch activities/achievements (the base for SDN) and SeaDataNet folio


SeaDataNet web site

Initial version ready.Not loose the information/experience in

SeaSearchSeaSearch web site will move slowly to

SeaDataNet (within one year approximately)

User desk will be included for the benefit of SDN partners and external users
