TBTI's Rodolphe Devillers will visit FAO Rome (TBTI already collaborates with FAO), and a meeting is scheduled 02 July – afternoon
TBTI illustrated their interest in:
- Survey data collection and alignment; proposed on-line forms for Scientists/stakeholders, projects/activities, and resources
- Interactive maps to identify areas for local fishers,
- An app for "glocal" (global version and local versions) fisheries related information
- Collaborative tools for sharing docs
- Semantic keyword extraction and automatic interpretation of texts (at least add metadata from keyword / concepts)
- Learning environment, on-line training courses
An example on-line survey was given here
TBTI is interested in any collaboration, with several limitations on contracting arrangements, hardware issues (hosting location), JAVA software development (some 6 PM), unregistered access, and website integration.
iMarine reacted positively to most use-cases, but (much) more info is required.
A VRE is requested for TBTI to better understand the offer.
