EXPLORE DATA
Making the most of Marine Citizen Science Data is one of the key goals of CS-MACH1.
We aim to provide pathways and means to re-use participative Ocean data, to enable future integration in international Ocean data main repositories, tools and services such as the ones below.
From Marine Citizen Science to Global Ocean Databases
CS-MACH1 is developing the missing link between marine citizen-science observations and global ocean databases by building a network and creating trainings and guidelines on data management, observation protocols and deployment guidance in order to:
Support citizen science initiatives apply observation protocols and methods;
Invite initiatives to describe their metadata and datasets;
Assist cost efficient sensor developers with cloud solutions to describe their metadata and data output;
Register all datasets as-is in EMODnet Data ingestion, where possible with direct feed.
participative DATA HUBS
Please note that the list is not exhaustive of all data hubs with current or plans to integrate marine citizen science data and it shows only key examples. From the EMODnet ingestion system, data experts will determine if datasets can feed into SeaDataNet, EurOBIS, or other hubs.
