Responsibilities of partners

• Standards

• Data access policy
• Acknowledging data source
• Cementing and promoting best practice
“BEST PRACTICE” FOR MANAGEMENT OF MARINE DATA
www.oceannet.org
Apply and documenting recognised Quality Control procedures at all stages of:
• data collection
• processing
• archiving
Application of data guidelines
Data submission guidelines

Data Guidelines
www.oceannet.org
Generate and maintain discovery metadata records:
• For all marine data
• MEDIN format
• Publish these metadata to MEDIN
• Publish to the wider community
• Tools and help available
Metadata
www.oceannet.org
• Lodge all relevant marine data of long-term interest with MEDIN DACs (subject to ownership agreements)• can require restricted access if required
• In return, DACs undertake to ensure data are always freely available to the original supplier• “freely” available means without restriction on use,
but in some cases a reasonable cost of recovery fee may be charged (if agreed between the DAC and data supplier)
Archiving
Seabed and sub-seabed geology, geophysics data
Water column oceanographic data
Marine flora, fauna and habitat data
Bathymetric data
www.oceannet.org
Data Archive Centres (DACs)

Establish in clear terms policy with regard to:• data ownership• licensing• access as they apply to individual data setsConform with various data policies as they relate to individual data sets, e.g.,• Freedom of Information• Environmental Information Regulations• Public Sector Information regulations• Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)• World Meteorological Organisation (WMO)
Data Access Policy
www.oceannet.org
Partners will:
• acknowledge the source of any data they access through the framework
• respect data policy as requested by the owner
Acknowledging Data Source
www.oceannet.org
When letting data collection contracts ensure that: • appropriate standards are applied and recorded • that metadata are generated in the MEDIN
recommended format • that provision is put in place for long term curation • that IPR and terms for third party use are clearly
defined
Cementing and Promoting Best Practice
www.oceannet.org
MEDIN model “data clause” for data collection• Ensures (public sector) research and survey commissioning
bodies adopt this best practice and have a contractual basis for the data gathering programs they commission
• Standard clauses that can be used in tender specifications • Forms a fundamental part of the contract from the start• Ensures that data management best practice and its
associated costs addressed by Contractors (tenderers) at the tender compilation stage
• Includes implementation guidelines• Collates experience from existing “data clauses” in contracts
across the marine community in the UK

Feedback from partners
• User community consultation • Open meeting – breakout sessions• Feedback forms• Partner questionnaire• Through web-site (www.oceannet.org)• To MEDIN Core team• Participating in MEDIN Working Groups
www.oceannet.org
Remember the second slide:
• It’s all about YOU...
• More correctly: it’s all about US• MEDIN can only be successful as a collaborative effort
– the marine (data) community working together• So be pro-active, provide feedback, ask questions,
join working groups, contribute to Marine Data News, etc.
• Thank you!
