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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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
