2. WP3: Data access to marine biological data
Deliverable 3.1:
Assessment of data and databases, including list of datasets that will be used for creation of products
December 2013 (instead of Month 6, February 2014)
Will be started during break-out sessions
Deliverable 3.2:
Data standardization and formatting of all datasets mentioned under data coverage section of proposal for linking with EMODnet Biology
September 2014: data flow ready
Updates & additions: throughout the project
Speeding up of the process because other work packages depend on the available data => e.g. WP5

3. More specific:
Analyse and assess in-depth the usability and fitness for purpose of the different data and databases that will contribute to the project
Decide on the optimal mechanisms for linkage with the EMODnet portal, making maximal use of existing systems
Determine the suitability of the data for the creation of the data products and validate the produced data products
Format the data and perform taxonomic and data standardizations to allow interoperability with the EMODnet biological portal
1 & 2 => breakouts zoveel mogelijk benutten hiervoor => deadline maand 6
3 & 4 => maand 6 tot 36 algemeen (voor alle activiteiten) => per monitoring verschillende data; deadline producten maand 24 => data nodig voor de producten!

4. WP 3 & WP 6 Discuss & shared excel file available data
Demonstration on taxonomic qc tools on LW, on WoRMS
Demonstration to upload IPT resource and map it with DarwinCore (6 steps guide)
Script to upload several resources at once
Monitoring dataset: publish new version of dataset
Install IPT demonstration

5. WP 3 & WP 6
Discussed different datasets & methodology to link with portal
IPT (up and running)
CPR – ILVO – IMAR – DASSH
SDN BioDEF (under development)
Ifremer – Aarhus Univ
WFS (Darwin Core)
SMHI - Deltares
Multiple – to decide
IMR (SDN-OGC-IPT)
OGS (SDN-IPT)
IEO
IMGW

6. WP 3 & WP 6
Deliverable 1: analysis – fit for purpose| Start document based on breakout and discussions, distribute to all to complete
Complete excel by October 15
Draft version of report by end of October
Feedback by end of November
Final report December
Input from other WP’s: waiting for input from WP5 (WP2)
Abundance-sampling sizes
Absence (sampling protocol) (ICES-CPR-others?)
Input from EMODnet lot seabed habitat:
Existing EUNIS-classified habitat sample data everywhere
Flora (seagrases-macroalgae)
Rocky epifauna
Deep and offshore data
Especially in the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea
Data sets that have been habitat-classified, even if they’re not EUNIS (habitats listed for protection, or other classifications based depth zonation, substrate and energy units)
Workshop probably for WP3 not necessary at this moment.

7. WP 3 & WP 6
Evaluation of draft BIODEF format for REPHY use-case (IFREMER)
Positive first impression regarding fitness for purpose
Full feedback of mapping exercise expected by end of September
Technical work needed on:
Machine-to-machine interface [in development]
Database connection software (from provider to BIODEF files, cfr. NEMO) [timing tbd, SeaDataNet]
Download manager [timing tbd, SeaDataNet]
Evaluation of draft BIODEF format for phytobenthos use-case (IMGW)
