Aims

The EMODnet Data Ingestion portal aims:

To identify and reach out to organisations from public, research and private sectors who are managing marine datasets for bathymetry, geology, physics, chemistry, biology and/or human activities and who are not yet connected and contributing to the existing marine data management infrastructures
To motivate and support those potential data providers to release their datasets for safekeeping and subsequent freely distribution through EMODnet
To facilitate the inclusion of those marine datasets by means of a data ingestion service and subsequent communication with expert data repositories to work up the metadata documentation for direct publishing and, in a second stage, for making the submitted datasets fit for inclusion in the EMODnet data services and products.
