In support of its Federated Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (FMSDI) Pilot (Phase 3), the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has opened an online survey to gather and identify requirements and use cases for a regional/international MSDI.
Responses to the survey, which are due by November 15, 2022, will help shape the ongoing OGC FMSDI Pilot and potential future FMSDI activities to better serve the user community’s needs.
Feedback will be included in the OGC FMSDI (Phase 3) Engineering Report.
The FMSDI Pilot is an OGC Innovation Program initiative with the objective to enhance Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDIs), to understand MSDI maturity better and demonstrate the power of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data in the context of the marine environment.
The FMSDI Pilot will lead to four main outcomes:
- A practical technology demonstration from global community experts showcasing federated Marine SDI for selected land/sea use cases. The demonstration will show how using OGC, IHO and other open standards enable the community’s ability to find, obtain, use, share, interoperate, and reuse data.
- Impact on OGC Standards. Lessons learned, gaps and the need for changes to the OGC Standards Baseline will be summarised in an Engineering Report that will inform the OGC Standards Program.
- Impact on IHO Standards. Practical testing of relevant S-100-based IHO standards will accelerate the process for the adoption and implementation of IHO standards.
- Development of the MSDI Maturity Model. This will provide a roadmap for MSDI development.
The FMSDI pilot is currently in its third phase, which focuses on land/sea use cases and extends the use cases developed in the second phase to add the Arctic region as a new location to the demonstration scenarios.
