Marine Spatial PlanningMarine Spatial Planning – a

framework for integrated and consistent decision making

UNESCO highlights robust data management as a key requirement

Data management principles are synonymous with SDI principles

SDI can provide the data management framework for MSP

People •Data inaccessible or restrictive licensing conditions•Little or no requirement to collaborate or share data

Standards •Data acquired or processed to differing standards•Standards used are incomplete or misunderstood

ICT •Creation and discovery of metadata difficult•No basic data management or publishing facilities

Data •Data captured from product and used inappropriately•Data acquired or processed for single use

• UK wide open partnership with the aim of improving the management and reuse of marine data and information

• Underpins the UK Marine Science Strategy and UK Marine Monitoring and Assessment Strategy (UKMMAS)

• Benefits to data collectors, publishers and users

• Working in collaboration with international initiatives

• Key objective is the ‘strengthening’ of marine reference data or core geographies

Marine Environmental Data and Information Network

INSPIRE Conference 2011, Edinburgh – Marine Workshop 28 June

Legacy Issues – Data from Product• Nautical chart data designed for navigation

• Individually compiled leading to inconsistency

• ENC base mostly managed as individual mini datasets (although does not need to be)

• Existing raster products vary in scale and projection

• Conservative depths may not be suitable for wider use

• Some features are illustrative and do not accurately depict real world situation e.g. boundaries

INSPIRE Conference 2011, Edinburgh – Marine Workshop 28 June

Legacy Issues – Data from Product

• Vector charts (ENCs) contain inconsistent and discontinuous features

• Raster charts include overlaps in coverage, annotations and variable projections

• In present form chart data is unsuitable for publication in web services

INSPIRE Conference 2011, Edinburgh – Marine Workshop 28 June

Boundary IssuesMapped boundaries may carry a prima facie indication to a

Court of Law that a boundary in fact existsProblems arise when boundaries are derived from product

meant for situation awarenessEngineering from source means revisiting original

legislation to ensure accuracy and legitimacyNMCAs to review survey, ‘mereing’ and generalization

policies and procedures Urgent need to ensure published boundary data is fit for

intended use and any shortcomings explained clearly

To think about today ...• INSPIRE provides stimulus and a framework to improve the

management, publication and value of marine spatial data• The data management needs of Marine Spatial Planning can

be addressed by:- recognising the integrated nature of marine evidence - adopting SDI and hence data management principles

• However, many key challenges remain:- IPR issues arising at each stage of the value chain- Ensuring SDI components are understood and applied- Systems and tools are developed and used appropriately- Legacy issues are addressed by harmonising content

and reverting to source
