ExecutiveSummary TheProjectwasextendedofsixmonthssothatonlyoneprogressreportwasgivenfortheperiodJune 2016-June 2017. During the last twelve months of the Project the main efforts werededicatedto:

1) the upgrade of the Sextant metadatabase catalog to include DPS (Data ProductSpecification)andTDP(TargetedDataProduct)descriptions;

2) the collection of information for appropriateness quality elements, enabling thecomputationofindicators;

3) thefirstdraftofthe2ndDataAdequacyReport;4) theorganizationoftheExpertPanelMeeting;5) theparticipationtotheEMODnetStakeholderConference;6) the revisionof thesecondDataAdequacyReport according to theexperts’ suggestions

• upgrade of the Sextant metadatabase catalogue to populate DPS (Data ProductSpecification),TDP(TargetedDataProduct)andUD(UpstreamData)information;

• Reporting on the methodology adopted to generate the Targeted Products and expertevaluationonthedataadequacy(D*.3.5andAnnex5ofthe2ndDAR);

• Contributiontothedraftingofthe2ndDAR;• ParticipationtotheExpertPanelmeetingonthe13thofFebruary2017inBrussels;• Participation to the first EMODnet Checkpoints Stakeholder Conference on the14th and

15thofFebruary2017,attheRoyalFlemishAcademyofBelgiumforScienceandtheArtsinBrussels

• Contributiontothereviewingprocessandfinalversionofthe2ndDAR.• ContributiontotheFinalSummaryofEffortsReport(D11.5.

InJanuary2016,thecoordinatordistributedatemplateforD*.3.4reportscontainingthefollowingoutline:

1. GeneralscopeoftheTargetedProducts2. TargetedProductscatalogue3. DescriptionofCharacteristicsandDatasourcesusedbyTargetedproducts4. DescriptionofmethodologytoproducetheTargetedProducts5. ExpertevaluationofTargetedProductquality6. Expertevaluationofgaps

All challenges provided the reports and their updated versionD*.3.5 in June 2016. The reportswent through first an internal revision (Sept-Dec 2016) and then an English revision (Jan-Mar2017) process before their publication online. The coordinator managed all the reviewing andpublication process (collection of metadata information for getting the DOI from challengeleaders), while Ifremer managed the DOI assignment to the reports and CLU managed thepublicationonthewebportal.TheTPsarevisible fromthewebportal, fromthechallengeswebpages that include:objective,methodology,datasources,theTPlist,thelinktotheTP(files)ortootherGISvisualization,thelinktothemetadatainformationforeachTP(DPS,TDP,UDandD*.3.5report)

The indicators are constructeddirectlyon theCheckpointmetadatabase,containing informationon theanalyseddatasetsandrelative data providers. Two fundamental phases of the assessment were the collection ofinformation on potential input datasets to be used for the products and the realization of theTargeted Products requested by the tender (see Figure 1). For each Challenge, CheckpointInformationonWhat,Why,Where,WhenandHowdatahavebeenusedtodeveloptheproductsisgivenandstatisticallyanalysed.

Additionally,theDARcontainstheexperts’ judgmentonTargetedProductsqualityandusabilityaccording to the identified gaps in the upstream datasets. This represented an importantverification of the implemented methodology and a unique critical approach to productsevaluation.Gapsofthemonitoringsystematthebasinscalesinviewofthe7prescribedChallengesemergedfrom the combined analysis of availability and appropriateness indicators and somerecommendationshavebeenproposedtofillthesegaps.
