How to include additional information in ODV and CDI formats
OGS + ISPRA
EMODnet Chemistry 3 TWG meeting, 4-5 April 2017 1

2. The request START: Actions from EMODnet – MSFD Coordination Meetings:
Appropriate information must be provided in the metadata to identify chemistry/biology data that is suitable for inclusion in MSFD reporting based on QA and QC procedures used in collecting it. HELCOM and OSPAR indicator specifications should identify the appropriate metadata needed. EMODnet Chemistry and Biology to report back on progress to next meeting, including possibilities to filter data on these metadata fields and progress in developing mechanisms for accessing data from non-EMODnet partner sources.
Metadata information needs to be improved to include confidence levels and other information on QA and QC.
Proposal was presented and discussed at the last EMODnet Chemistry 2 plenary meeting.

3. Which information HELCOM and OSPAR identified metadata needed:
Appropriate information must be provided in the metadata to identify chemistry/biology data that is suitable for inclusion in MSFD reporting based on QA and QC procedures used in collecting it. HELCOM and OSPAR indicator specifications should identify the appropriate metadata needed. EMODnet Chemistry and Biology to report back on progress to next meeting, including possibilities to filter data on these metadata fields and progress in developing mechanisms for accessing data from non-EMODnet partner sources.
HELCOM and OSPAR identified metadata needed:
Purpose of data collection
Matrix selection criteria possibly added to CDI mask
Regions and sub-regions criteria possibly added to CDI mask
ICES, HELCOM and OSPAR have provided necessary information (shape files)
Separate contact ongoing with BSC and UNEP-MAP

4. Comparison between EMODnet and ICES data portal:
Some HELCOM sub-basins are missing in EMODnet
Differences in Parameter group definitions and EMODnet vocabularies (P02)
No information of Purpose of monitoring or name of monitoring program in EMODnet BUT Project name or Dataset name could include (and help obtain) some information
In EMODnet: useful tool to aggregate per cruise/project/station
In EMODnet: useful to be able to explore also Academic, licenced and by negotiation data

5. RSCs boundaries
Shape files comparison in the Baltic Sea: more sub-basins, some different boundaries
HELCOM shape file
EMODnet shape file

6. RSCs boundaries North Sea: OSPAR not aligned with coastline…
OSPAR shape file
EMODnet shape file
no shapefiles for the Mediterranean and Black Sea

8. ICES Data Submission:
Analysis of information available through ICES data portal:
Data submission system according to purpose of data acquisition, with connected metadata 8

9. To submit metadata:

10. QA/QC metadata for Oceanographic data:
Oceanographic data managed by EMODnet undergo standard ICES Guidelines on QA/QC

11. QA/QC metadata for Environmental data:
EMODnet Chemistry 3 TWG meeting, 4-5 April 2017 11

12. QA/QC Questionnaire Questionnaire is separated into three sections:
General questions of laboratory QA/QC according to ISO Guide 17025:2005 (also requested by EQS EU Directive 2008/105)
General to all matrices
Specific to matrices
Sections b) and c) implies to fill tables contained into a separate excel file.
 The questionnaire includes all information needed by RSCs?
