Here follows a list of use cases for which the EA-CoP Data Access and Sharing Policies may apply.

Aquatic Species Distribution Maps

• The FAO Aquatic Species Distributions will be served by OGC Web-Services (OWS):
  • The products themselves will be available as WxS resources (WMSSee Workload Management System or Web Mapping Service. for visualization, WFSWeb Feature Service for processing)
  • The access to these resources will be provided through OGC metadata, served by CSW web-service with 2 access levels:
    • service metadata (ISO 19119:2005 / 19139) describing WxS instances specific to the species distribution collection
    • dataset metadata (ISO 19115:2003 / 19139) describing each species distribution
  • Such access could be completed later by Feature Catalogue description (ISO 19110), for data processing needs.
• The above set of metadata will be published in the FAO Geonetwork and shared in i-Marine through a CSW Harvesting operation.
• A metadata constraints section will be added to the metadata, and will specify the license applicable to the species distribution data.
