 National Hydrographic Centre  Understanding Spatial Data  Understanding Data Sharing Structure And Format  Challenges  Benefits 3

To Elucidate The Issues And Challenges Confronting The NHC As Oceanographic Data Provider In The Implementation Of Data Sharing Via Geospatial Related Standard 4

Main Role: All Hydrographic Matters In Providing Accurate Hydrographic, Cartographic, Oceanographic And Meteorological Information. Publish Nautical Charts, Tide Tables And Environment Report Main Role: All Hydrographic Matters In Providing Accurate Hydrographic, Cartographic, Oceanographic And Meteorological Information. Publish Nautical Charts, Tide Tables And Environment Report Name : National Hydrographic Centre 5

 SPATIAL DATA Data Or Information Identifies Geographic Location  SPATIAL DATA INFRATRUCTURE (SDI) Relevant Base Collection Of Technologies, Policies And Institutional Arrangements That Facilitate The Availability Of And Access To Spatial Data 6

 MARINE SPATIAL DATA Component Of SDI Which Include Hydrography, Geology, Marine Infrastructure and Oceanography  TO ENSURE SUCCESS OF DATA SHARING A Common Feature And Attribute Standard Formulation Of Policy For Sharing 7

 DATA STRUCTURE Particular Way Of Storing And Organising Data In Computer So That It Can Be Used Efficiently  FILE FORMAT Standard Way That Information Is Encoded For Storage In A Computer File 8

TRANSLATE MALAYSIAN STANDARD (MS1759:2004) S-57, GIF ASCII, EXCEL DATA PROVIDER STANDARD NHC CURRENT DATA STRUCTURE FORMAT CONVERSION SOFTWARE YES (FME) ??? 9 SHARING SUCCESSFUL SHARING UN- SUCCESSFUL

 DATA SHARING The Voluntary Provision Of Information From One Institution To Another For The Purpose Of Scientific Research  SECONDARY USE The Use Of Data Collected For One Purpose To Study A New Problem 10

 Who They Are And What Is Their Data  What Are Their Data Sharing And Exchange Protocols  Who Are The Key People To Engage Within That Organisation 11

1.CONVERSION CHALLENGES IN FULFILMENT OF MyGDI Human Behavior Aspect: Lack Of Proper Mindset And Motivation  Lengthy And Time Consuming Conversion Process From Data Provider’s Present Data Structure To Data Sharing Structure  Absence Of Established Standard For Oceanography Data Structure To Overcome  To Have An Oceanographic Data Structure In Accordance To Ms1759 Format 12

13

2. ACCEPTING OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA AS A RESOURCE RATHER THAN END- PRODUCT Human Behavior Aspect: What’s In It For Me (WIIFM)  Ownership Dispute Discourage Data Sharing  Lack Of Scientific Reward System  Competition To Be The First To Make Discovery To Overcome  Data Provider To Acquire Knowledge Of Data Management And Best Practices  Adopting Partnership Approach  Data Providers To Adopt A Win-win Mindset “Sum Of The Whole Is Greater Than Its Parts” 14

2. GAINING TRUST OF OTHER DATA PROVIDERS AND/OR STAKEHOLDERS Human Behavior Aspect: Lack Of Trust To Other Data Providers  Duplicity In Type Of Data And Research Area  Security Issues, Financial Costs, Effort  Intellectual Property Right To Overcome  Uphold Governments NBOS and OBB Concept Of Governance  Accept The Fact That Sharing Is Not Rewarded Monetarily  To Have A Dominant Figure As A Push Factor In Promoting Data Sharing 15

 Verification, Refutation Or Refinement Of Original Results  Promotion Of New Research Through Existing Data  Improvement Of Measurement And Data Collection Methods  Encouragement Of Multiple Perspectives  Protection Against Faulty Data 16

All Oceanographic Data Provider To Consider How They Might Engage And Play A Definitive Role In The Development Of, Or Participation In, The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) 17
