Priority to CoPCommunity of Practice.

List proposed solution priority following the iMarine Board priority setting criteria:

• The app is intended as a demonstration o iMarine data and potential. It is a communication tool
• The planned users are contacts of iMarine partners that may be interested to learn more about the project in general, and marine species in particular;
• The app is funded through the project, but was quick to draw attention. It may be considered to attract co-funding;
• There has not been a Structural allocation of resources;
• The app is not Referred in DoW;
• The app was not devised with Business Cases in mind, but rather as a communication tool;
• The action attracts attention and increases visibility of the project. It thus indirectly supports sustainability aspects;
• How consistent it is with EC regulations/strategies (eg INSPIRE);
• Re-usability – benefits – compatibility;

Parentage

The app data are loaded with CoPCommunity of Practice. Software; using FAO web-services, WoRMS web services, Fishbase database extractions;

The ICIS VREVirtual Research Environment. is used to prepare data to load, and a D4S geoserver is used to store the maps.
