3. MSFD reporting database
Reporting sheets
Agreed
Conceptual understanding
Spreadsheet
Reporting database
Streamlined reporting sheets
Match database very closely
Access database structure supports spreadsheet
Organises information for submission
Import datasets or manual entry
XML conversion tool links to database to create XML schemas

6. Reporting database – overall concpet
One database per region
Overarching tables holds information related to the overall reporting – eg. Reporting information, geographical areas
General tables holds information across several grouped features – eg. 8b actvities, 8b assessment
Specific tables relates to a specific reporting feature – eg. 8b noise, 8b noise metadata
Table dependencies -> data entered in a specific order

7. Database translation of spreadsheet
Worksheet: 8Ba-PI_Analysis

8. Understanding the XML
atkins_ppt_new-4

9. XML Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, flexible text format
The design goals of XML
emphasize generality,
and usability
Reportnet supports the
XML format for reporting

10. Schema
Schema is defining the required XML structure to be uploaded in Reportnet
Makes it possible to run
validation checks on data

11. Schemas to be used for reporting
7 schemas to be reported in reportnet
1 schema (MSFD4Geo) to be reported on national level
6 schemas to be reported on region level
