Innovative IT solutions to support Data needs for Blue Growth – Google and iMarine examples

iMarine vision

The iMarine infrastructure provides data services for:

• Collaboration• Security and confidentiality• Integration and harmonization• Analysis• Publishing and sharing

iMarine and BlueBRIDGE received EU funding

Support marine fisheries and aquaculture with

cost-effective Open Science data services

Access and re-use shared knowledge

Contribute to shared

knowledge

• Participatory approach• An eco-system of linked infrastructures• Accessible but with dynamic data policies• WorkSpace (WS) for collaborative science• Adaptable in all layers

• WorkSpaces

• Functionality• Capacity

• Connections

A key objective; a Regional Databasein support of stock assessment and fisheries

management

The iMarine platform hosts an on-line specialized database for fisheries• Data integration and harmonization• Data analysis• Data sharing and dissemination

Not for a specific region, but a generic DB

Regional DatabaseWhy? From several tools to One Platform

The iMarine infrastructure advantages• Tools for fools• User management• Storage and reporting

Regional Database for fisheriesCollate and harmonize fragmented data

Analyze and present unified data

iMarine RDB: Tuna Atlas

• Collate global public tRFMO data• Present global overviews• Collaborative effort

Harmonization• Code list management• Data validation• Shared formats
