Talk:Use Cases for EA-CoP Data Access and Sharing Policies

Marc,

For the "Strategy" sections here, http://wiki.i-marine.eu/index.php/Use_Cases_for_EA-CoP_Data_Access_and_Sharing_Policies I would suggest to have them structured around the following 3 aspects of a strategy, documented through 1-2 line summaries as agreed:

- What: what iMarine can bring, as a specific value added, to address such use case - For who: the organizations, types of users, ... we are considering through implementing the use case - How: how can iMarine partners develop and sustain "data products and services", as a differentiator in the community

I would suggest to re-allocate within the Strategy section (under the 'how' aspect), the following points initially identified for the Policy section:

- Define the responsibilities of the various actors involved - Define the type of collaborations required - Define the kind of support required

I would also add under the Policy section the following 'placeholders':

- foreseen (expected) positive impacts of a iMarine Policy within the community related to the use case - possible (identified) negative effects of our use case implementation that a iMarine Policy would prevent - envisioned community consultation in order to gather Policy rationales in relation to the use case

Also, focusing the Policy descriptions this section through the prism of "Application" domains could help (see end of this email)...

Lastly, a question. The current Use Cases are:

01) Codelist manager 02) Cotrix Code list management 03) iMarine EA Linked Open Data Initiative 04) WORMS data use 05) Species Products Discovery 06) Applifish - FAO Species fact sheet 07) Geospatial data and OGC Web-Services 08) ICIS 09) Species Fact Sheets VREVirtual Research Environment. 10) Environmental Enrichment 11) SmartFish 12) SPREAD

3-4 additional candidates were discussed in meeting.

Is it possible to group or logically relate these potentially 20 Use Cases, into a smaller set of "marine community" significant objectives ? To illustrate, I think it could be done in terms of 'applications'... I am not a domain expert... maybe valid examples would be something like, e.g.: - we have x use cases related to "support to EU policy making" applications - we have y use cases related to "open data strategy for academic research and education" applications - we have z use cases related to "applied research for commercial purposes" applications - ...

Cheers Hervé
