From HEA - to national and international collaboration
Irish Spatial Data Exchange Project
MIDA NI
Fulbright, Transatlantic workshop, BIDI collaboration
Plus synergysynergy with other projects – the MIDA engine & metadata knowledge– EU DISMAR, EU InterRisk, EU Monruk, EU Imagin, EU ECOOP, MI BIDI
Objectives of the workshop
• Stock Take - Assessment of coastal atlases from Europe Europe and U.S.and U.S.
• Identify and discuss strengths, weaknesses, opportunitiesopportunities and threats (SWOT):– Technology– Design and usability of web
sites and tools– Data and metadata issues– Institutional capacity
• Launch MIDA
Approach to workshop
• Day 1 – Focus on case studies– Includes coastal atlas showcase– Introduction to working groups– MIDA launch
• Day 2 – Focus on issues– Working group sessions
