Next dates• 19-20/2/2014 21st Meeting of the MODEG, Oostende• May 2014 2nd EMODnet Steering Committee Meeting
New scheduling for bi-monthly reporting
Indicators proposed for the reporting (Dick Schaap)
3 use cases for the Central Portal (interaction among portals):Uc1: combined output from different data productsUc2: Benthic Index Calculation (BEQI)Uc3: coastal data

EMODnet Secretariat:
3rd Progress Report with statistics on
• number of CDI per Discovery Parameter – 1) volume of data
• number of CDI per Partner – 2) organization supplying data
To compute it easily from the CDI User Interface, we need improvements of the C19 vocabulary coverage and descriptions:
• addition of Macaronesia and Iberian coast (shape files needed)
• harmonization of the existing terms with MSFD regional seas (Baltic sea and Celtic sea)

C19 (SeaVoX salt and fresh water body gazetteer)
Sub-regional seas of Europe, as specified in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD DIKE 5/12/08)
EMODnet Chemistry 2 – 2nd Steering Committee, 20-21 January 2014
Data collection and metadata compilation in sea regions (WP1):
● Overview of the data collection from the regional leaders (10 min. each),
● Proposal for a data central buffer (Dick Schaap),● Parameters (P01 and P02) for extended Chemistry 2 scope
(Dick Schaap),● Sea regions definition (Neil Holdsworth),

Data collection and metadata compilation in sea regions (WP1) - workflow
Role of the Regional Leaders:● To collect bi-monthly updates of available data
Role of the all Partners:● To gather all identified datasets● To convert all gathered data on ODV format and release a copy
to the relevant regional leader● To compile metadata in CDI format and send all CDI entries to
Maris (to populate the CDI data Discovery and Access Service, linked to a local copy of ODV data
Role of the Coordinator: ask bi-monthly (?) progress in data gathering to all partners

CDI Service
Partners
Data collection and metadata compilation in sea regions (WP1):
● Data policy issues highlighted by Julie Gatti, who made data request via SDN CDI Service and was asked to sign an agreement (MERMAN Public Data Supply Agreement)
- data must be made available for products -● River inflow data were asked in the call, what shall we do?
- investigate existing database at national level -

Data Products generation in sea regions (WP2):
● Deadlines as indicated in the kick-off meeting:M6: start with products generation as DIVA maps and TS plotsM9: start with regional products validation with local expertsM12: first Expert workshop
M9: Use of CHASE assessment tool in the North Sea (Martin M. Larsen), to be presented to the Expert workshop
● Implication of data central buffer for product generation and new coastal visualization tools as discussed at the TWG (Dick Schaap)
EMODnet Chemistry 2 – 2nd Steering Committee, 20-21 January 2014
QA/QC - Validation - MSFD interaction (WP3):
● Validation process with local experts - ask to all partners to identify at least 1 local expert (from M6)
