Revision as of 14:34, 3 October 2013

The FAO Tuna Atlas is one of the key products of the department of Fisheries of FAO.
It is accessible through an interactive map [here]. Process to feed the tuna atlas database is highly manual. iMarine ICIS offers an interesting solution to improve and automate data processing.
ICIS has been tested in the tuna atlas context. Several recommendations were made to add missing features. Features are currently been implemented to release a new version of ICIS.


Product
(Describe the expected service in maximum 3 sentences) ICIS v2 addressing Tuna Atlas needs is a time series processing tool (ICIS v1 to uplaod, curate and validate CSV time series files) with features to remove duplicated lines, persistence of user filters, handling merging of 2 columns unique identifier for geo reference (latitude/longitude) in a one column unique ID (Grid-ID).
Implementation activity

Development of new requested features can be tracked through TRAC:

Most of these activities have been taken into consideration in the new Tabular Data Manager service.


Priority to CoPCommunity of Practice.
(List proposed solution priority following the iMarine Board priority setting criteria:)
  • The target community can be split in 2: data contributors and data consumers.
    • data contributors are the Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) sending data to FAO tu update the Tuna Atlas;
    • data consumers are fisheries experts, fisheries professional and the wider public with an expressed interest in fisheries ;
  • Users; there are 2 groups of users: the FAO tuna Atlas statistician and by extension RFMOs' statisticians, and the final data users.
  • Potential for co-funding; High as regional organizations even national fisheries institutions would be interested to use this component as key pilar of their Fisheries Information Systems
  • Structural allocation of resources; The new components should be release in November 2013.
  • Referred in DoW;in BC1
  • How does the proposed action generally support sustainability aspects? New ICIS version proposes new set of features to record and keep statistician workflow to process data. Statistics will archived in the iMarine infrastructure provide sustainable solutions to archive data. Loss of data is recurrent at national and regional level for Fisheries time series;
  • How consistent it is with regulations/strategies ?
  • Re-usability – benefits – compatibility: this ICIS new components could be reused in several contexts and is now included in the new StatsCube Bundle;

Productivity
Are the proposed measures effective?
  • Yes, as it improves time series processing.
Does it reduce a known workload?
  • That's the initial objectif of using ICIS in the FAO Tuna Atlas, being able to record curation and processing of uploaded time series from FRMO to apply the same process the next round and save time. Currently, the FAO/FI statistician is process tuna atlas data every 2 years, the alternate year is used to process tuna global catches. The goal is to be able to have both Tuna Atlas and Tuna Global catches issued every year.
Presentation
How must the component be delivered to users? (UI Design / on-line help / training material / support)
  • the current ICIS UI is not changed
Policy
Are there any policies available that describe data access and sharing?
  • This is not relevant as data are not made publicly available in the iMarine infrastructure.
Have the Copyright / attribution / metadata / legal aspects been addressed from a user and technology perspective?
