Data driven science and BlueBRIDGE, A match made in the cloud Anton Ellenbroek FIAS - FAO of the UN, Rome Anton.ellenbroek@fao.org

Global Tuna Atlas; from fishnet to internet The context; example Global Tuna Atlas; from fishnet to internet Collate global public tRFMO data Integrate and harmonize Publish locally and in ‘your’ website From sites to sharing /BlueBridge/Tuna_Atlas/

BlueBRIDGE workshop, 11 January 2017, Brussels, Belgium The challenges FAO Challenge Without BlueBRIDGE With BlueBRIDGE Data collection Designed for a task Designed for re-use Data formats Designed for a domain Interoperable Data harmonization Disorganized Global Master Data Time series analysis DIY Integrated toolkit Spatial data analysis Outsourced (2 systems) Integrated Reporting and dissemination Fact-sheets in a site, static download Dynamic reports and registries; traceable BlueBRIDGE workshop, 11 January 2017, Brussels, Belgium

BlueBRIDGE solutions Data collection A largely co-funded effort (FAO, JPN, ANBJ) Mobile data collection on board vessels For ‘observers’ (official and others) Flexible in species / areas / gears / images Forms designer / user management Open Source Codebase freely available Access to Master Data Services (FAO 2017) Not exclusive to BlueBRIDGE Innovation: Location aware & Reference data BlueBRIDGE workshop, 11 January 2017, Brussels, Belgium

BlueBRIDGE solutions Data formats Statistical data formats Convert CSV to XML (SDMX) using DSD’s Automated generation of metadata Geospatial data OGC Compliant storage and processing (WPS) Catch data as Geospatial data (NetCDF) Innovation: Re-useable catch data BlueBRIDGE workshop, 11 January 2017, Brussels, Belgium

BlueBRIDGE solutions Data Harmonization Tabular data harmonization unifies: Data from different regional organizations By mapping reference schemes to Master Data Including geospatial references On-line R-Studio; the harmonization tool Store a rich array of harmonization scripts Share scripts and data with collaborators BlueBRIDGE workshop, 11 January 2017, Brussels, Belgium

BlueBRIDGE solutions Time-series analysis Models: CMSY, VPA, DLM Toolkit and Ecopath Tools: TabMan / DataMiner / OpenCPU Tabman; data harmonization => from csv to SDMX DataMiner; host and expose R/WPS based models OpenCPU/WPS; interactive Fact-sheet engine (Workflow) Innovation: Not in isolation, but as replicable and transparent metadata driven processes that can run anywhere

BlueBRIDGE solutions Spatial data FAO – National Aquaculture Sector Overview (NASO) Maps Rationalize and harmonize production Using EU Space products (Copernicus) Collaborative environment to validate BlueBRIDGE Map viewer BlueBRIDGE workshop, 11 January 2017, Brussels, Belgium

BlueBRIDGE solutions Reporting and dissemination Bridging across different data contributors GRSF: Global record of stocks and fisheries => FiRMS / Ram / SFP Global Tuna Atlas => OpenCPU => Dynamic factsheets Bridging across different publication formats with CKAN One registry to publish ‘any’ data and metadata Bridging geospatial and Factsheets VME database => Measures and regulations of a.o. FiRMS partners GEMS: GIS Enforcing Metadata & Semantics to publish layers BlueBRIDGE workshop, 11 January 2017, Brussels, Belgium

The BlueBRIDGE benefits related to Blue Growth A comprehensive platform To manage users, data, and software With dedicated data services For data access, management, and analysis Related to stock assessment and analysis of geospatial features Combined in adaptable products For SME’s in aquaculture management, scientists in stock assessment or management authorities That can be deployed rapidly BlueBRIDGE workshop, 11 January 2017, Brussels, Belgium
