In the context of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the concept of the flow of observational data from sensors and platforms to a global ocean data system and on to a global ocean processing, modelling and forecasting system is well-established. However, the implementation of this Digital Ecosystem at a global level needs regional coordination and support.
The workshop will show the crucial role of regional marine data services in delivering Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) ocean data and data products to support society’s need for marine knowledge. We will highlight how regional mandates and cooperation can be used to build data services which feed the global Digital Ocean Ecosystem. This workshop will feature a number of regional data services e.g., EU public assets EMODnet, Copernicus Marine Service and other regional actors worldwide, with pitch presentations and an interactive panel with the audience.
