8. What Offshore Developers Need from ICT
Mainstream’s fundamental belief is that marine data is a Public Good.
It should be collected once and used many times.
Key needs ;
Accessibility and Management:
Clear policy of ownership, licensing & access for all publicly funded data collection
Single point of access to marine data and information
Discourage cost-recovery pricing from public bodies
Data Standards and Quality control:
Common standards across jurisdictions and disciplines
Ensure the above is addressed in publicly funded data collection contracts
International Coordination:
Harmonised approach across the EU in relation to all of the above:
Links provided and maintained to EU/global databases and initiatives
Benefits of improved data management ;
Measurable reductions in costs to find, access and retrieve data
Wider and more reliable data and information upon which to base assessments
Mechanisms to share results and data with stakeholders
Developers want to reduce Project Risk

9. EU Marine Data Management
4 EU Directives in particular impact industry:
Marine Strategy Framework Directive – ‘establish and implement coordinated monitoring programmes for ongoing assessment of the environmental status of [member state] marine waters’
INSPIRE Directive – ‘adopt measures for the sharing of data sets and services between public authorities for the purpose of public tasks and the Environmental Information Directive’
Birds and Habitats Directive – ‘establish a network known as Natura 2000 (SPA, SACs)
Data Collection Framework for Fisheries – ‘collect, manage and provide high quality fisheries data for the purpose of scientific advice, mainly for appropriate fisheries management decisions’
Shading = initiatives to manage data to satisfy EC Legislation
There are many initiatives underway

10. Marine Knowledge 2020 Marine Knowledge 2020 :
Marine Data and Observation for Smart and Sustainable Growth
Launched 13 September 2010
Led by Iain Shephard
Key Objectives
This Initiative from the Commission will ensure the following are achieved ;
Data from the EU-supported research programmes are more available for re-use
Common standards and policies
Contribute towards an interoperable global marine knowledge system
Cost
€1,400.0 Million spent per year by all stakeholders on Marine data collection in Europe
€ Million spent per year by EU on marine data collection
€ Million additional allocation per year for EU’s Marine Knowledge 2020 initiative
Offshore Developers will contribute to Marine Knowledge 2020

4. Visualisation
3. Database
2. Communications
1. Instruments

13. Innovation is inhibited by data licence issues:
ISIS :
Barriers to address
Innovation is inhibited by data licence issues:
Data licence issue throughout European waters
Over 400 legal entities have licensed ownership of data in Britain
Need EU Data Ownership Policy
Innovation is inhibited by regional data strategy variation:
National data archives are at different levels of maturity
Low Interoperability of data and metadata across EU
Need EU standard for data archives
Role for EU Commission:
Build on existing progress made by data communities
Provide sustainable funding for Innovation
Provide framework for licensing and re-use of data
Role for ICT Standards:
Build on existing ISA standards in other Sectors ( eg Manufacturing )
Align relevant IEEE / IEC / ISA standards for computer & electrical devices
Provide framework for developing integrated standards across supply chain
Intel are already helping to set standards for Supergrid & Offshore Wind

14. When is ISIS needed ? ISIS
ISIS is needed before large-scale Wind Farms are deployed in the North Sea
The delivery of the components of ISIS is dictated by Policy, Consortium, Funding
ISIS will deliver payback as

15. Who will create ISIS ? ISIS
ISIS will be delivered by those organisations with a stake in the successful future of the North Sea
ISIS will be delivered via a Consortium of Public, Private and Academic Organisations
ISIS will be delivered by Experts in Standards, Innovation, Technology and Project Execution

16. How will ISIS be created?
An ISIS Consortium will be formed representing Public, Academic and Commercial organisations
The Consortium will be initiated via a Memorandum of Understanding
A Schedule of Deliverables will be agreed over the next 7 years

17. So...
ISIS
ISIS will help to Internalise the Regenerative Capacity of the Biosphere Aligned with the productive application of the Earth’s Resources In a Business Model built on Sustainable Standards in line with Transparency, Auditability, Regulatory commitments, Enforceability

19. ISIS - Business Case ISIS ISIS Business Case :
Move to change current economic thinking of offshore environmental resources permitting/ consenting  as an expense item to new economic thinking where it is treated as a capital item and viewed as an investment  to maintain or regenerate the environment over a life cycle of sustainable use
The vital role ICT and integrated data management will play in shifting economic thinking to view maintaining/regenerating environmental resources as a capital investment for sustainable productive use and for a sustainable societal quality of life, today and for future generations.
Harnessing offshore wind potential for Europe’s sustainable future is both a huge economic opportunity and a huge economic and environmental challenge
Creating an integrated view of marine data gathering, structure and standards, management and accessibility [archived and real time] will allow sustainable productive use projects to be assessed with more economic and social rigour, monitored in real time, and promote early prediction of and, intervention on, trends impacting negatively on environmental resources ‘capital’.  Offshore wind developers adopting these new standards will benefit from more streamlined, cost effective and predictable environmental permits/consents and ongoing demonstration of regulatory compliance. 
Additionally integrated data management infrastructures will capture economic benefits for the operation of renewable offshore wind energy by better climate forecasting, fast tracking research into more efficient operating and maintenance regimes and by incentivizing plant designs that are neutral, regenerative or enhancing to the environment’s resource capital. 
Identifying opportunities for the creation of new SMEs and enhancing business development and commercialization opportunities for existing SMEs and MNCs around the new common data architectures, protocols,  security standards, communications systems, technologies, data warehousing,  products and services

20. ISIS - Consortium Objectives
To harness stakeholder expertise and competences at national and European level to develop and promote new marine data management standards, policies , best practices and best-in-class technologies , protocols, etc
To identify the user needs and expectations along with use cases for the new integrated marine data management solutions and to initiate projects to build out the new infrastructure, business models and disciplines to achieve early wins for the consortium’s effort and investments.
To develop a roadmap, in wide consultation with stakeholders, to both build from scratch, where appropriate, to meet the needs of the new industries while at same time building on ‘value add’ brought from existing systems, programmes, networks and collaborations.
To draft specifications for RDI actions for innovative applications of the integrated marine data management infrastructure which motivate best practice commercialization strategies
To promote action for further involvement of stakeholders, including SME’s and multi-nationals, at local and regional level to facilitate the cross-fertilisation of ideas and create best practice business development and commercialization approaches.
