National and Inter-Governmental Organizations dedicated to:

�sustainable exploitation of fishery resources

�conservation of habitats and ecosystems

The Institutional context in Marine sciences

overarching drivers

Implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAF)

the World Summit on Sustainable Development, Johannesburg, 2002, encourages nations to apply the

ecosystem approach by 2010...

Current status:

� communities of practices (CoP):� with e-infrastructures� using structured data

� research needs in Marine sciences� enable data sharing beyond established CoP� enable collaborative approaches

� generalizing solutions to interoperability is desirable

Opportunity� D4Science offers an approach

calls for the realization of scientific e-Infrastructures that will

� remove all heterogeneity, sustainability, scalability, and other technical concerns from the minds of scientists,

� hide all related complexities from their perception, and

� enable them to focus on their science and collaborate on commonresearch challenges

� through mechanisms allowing ...

� semi-automated import of distributed data sources

� harmonization of heterogeneous sources

� intensive data processing

� support for query, output and annotation.

� workflow process definition

� template generation tools

� catalog and discover data

� e-infrastructure for collaborative science

� wikipedia++able to work with structured databases

� federate data and applications ...... even across boundaries of traditional user communities

Project phase 2a Knowledge ecosystem infrastructure

Main components of the initial ecosystem:

• GENESI-DR, AquaMaps, INSPIRE, DRIVER

5 scientific applications:

• ICIS, FCPPS (FARM community)

• INSPIRE, DRIVER, AquaMaps

Interoperability - extend D4Science by

introducing mechanisms for facilitating:

• the use of data resources managed by

different data infrastructures

• the programmatic exploitation of the

D4Science capabilities

3. ICIS – a cross-communities problem-resolving-oriented scenario

UNGA recommendations:

� FAO should provide indicators for assessment of High Seas stocks

“distinguish catch in the High Seas from catch within EEZs”

� current status:reporting by Major FAO statistical

CWP recommendations:

� enhance quality of global catch statistics

“stronger integration of existing catch Databases”

� current status:non-integrated databases shared data standards (to some extent)
