Here follows relevant information and discussions for the identification of sets of Metadata which could be supported by iMarine. A specific subset of Metadata, the Business metadata, should be identified for supporting the implementation of the EA-CoP Data Access and Sharing Policies.

• What SDMX can hold in terms of Metadata?
• Which fields of SDMX can be mapped to Business Metadata and how?

• Which should be the most appropriate format?
• Which standards can iMarine support?
