Data Harmonisation and Integration for Coastal & Marine Stakeholders
Investigate the cost-benefit of developing fully integrated land-marine datasets, based on UK ICZMap findings.
Look at the data standards and interoperability specifications that would help reduce costs in future initiatives such as this.
Help develop or steer development of those standards and specifications, working within the ISO and OGC frameworks.
Gather input from the coastal/marine community as to what they need in regard to such harmonised datasets.
Do this by building on the earlier work of the MarineXML project.
MOTIIVE Concept (Dec. 2003)

Data Harmonisation and Integration for Coastal & Marine Stakeholders
•The MOTIIVE Cost-Benefit Analysis Methodology (M-CBA)
•A hybrid Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) methodology
•Costs (monetary) & Benefits (value based)
•Built on SDIGER Project cost analysis & NASA ROI GeoVMM (Value Measuring Methodology) MCA approach
•Spreadsheet(s) that can be used for project-based CBA – but (probably) not for SDI-level work.
WP7 – Cost Benefit Analysis

Data Harmonisation and Integration for Coastal & Marine Stakeholders
Traditional CBA methodologies and metrics are best suited to project justifications - not “infrastructures”.
The more complex is the target (an infrastructure versus a project), the greater are the number of assumptions made in performing the analysis.
Therefore, the less ‘believable’ is the result – especially by funding agencies.
Traditional CBA best for project work, where monetary figures can be assigned to costs & benefits.
CEA often used if CBA not suitable due to inability to monetarize all costs and/or benefits.
MCA much more flexible, more subjective, invites wider stakeholder participation.

Data Harmonisation and Integration for Coastal & Marine Stakeholders
GeoVMM – Geospatial Value Measuring Method – used by NASA specifically for investigating Interoperability ROI.
Methodology is approved by US Government (recognized as “best practice” by OMB).
Captures expert input, as well a stakeholder input.
Allows for 'weighting' of value factors and benefits.
Takes account of risk factors.
NASA (Booz Allen Hamilton) study focused specifically on added costs and benefits of introducing interoperability technology to existing/new projects. Results were ‘normalized’.

GeoVMM CBA Methodology (2)

Data Harmonisation and Integration for Coastal & Marine Stakeholders
Drawbacks exist, as with any CBA methodology:
An expensive methodology to follow – use of experts plus lots of stakeholder time required if the weighting factors, etc. are to be acceptable to stakeholders and funders.
Doesn't overcome problem with assigning monetary values to intangible benefits – this is still required and leads to assumptions.
As presented by NASA (BAH), looks mainly at the IT issues relating to interoperability – this seems not to interest many (most?) of the stakeholders in the marine/coastal research and management community.
They are concerned with cost:benefit of project activities, not interoperability issues, i.e. cost of beach nourishment versus benefit to tourism industry, not how the data was collected or harmonised.

D12 – CBA “Projection” for a GSE project (or 2) to be
replaced with use of GeoVMM methodology if we can
find a suitable candidate project – the hunt is on.
Preparing a practical “how to” manual for the
MOTIIVE (M-CBA) approach for use by other
coastal/marine projects.
Workshop where the method is applied at CoastGIS’07
Conference in Santander, Spain (October 2007)
Promulgation of the M-CBA methodology via EUCC –
The Coastal Union – newsletters, e-mail list and web
site.
