Component 1: Supporting Implementation of MSP Sub-component 1.3.3: Data Management Guidance Document. The implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP), defined in the MSP Directive 2014/89/EU requires high quality maritime spatial data and information. Data sharing is favored by Maritime Spatial Data Infrastructures (MSDI). This type of infrastructure improves access to data and provides information on the MSP policies implemented in the neighbouring countries. MSDIs contribute to enable access to data and information. It is a basis for discussion and exchange and promotes cross-border cooperation. This report aims to transfer the knowledge built in the SIMWESTMED project context, related to MSP transboundary data sharing. It also analyses the opportunities and limits of data interoperability improvement activities undertaken, at each steps of the data management process: - Information flow: collection, publication and dissemination - Understand: production of metadata - Represent: displaying the datasets - Enhance: explain and enrich the information ; This report/document was produced as part of the SIMWESTMED Project (Grant Agreement N0. EASME/EMFF/2015/1.2.1.3/02/SI2.742101). PROJECT: Supporting Implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning in the Western Mediterranean region (SIMWESTMED) Competition for maritime space – for renewable energy equipment, aquaculture and other uses – has highlighted the need to manage our waters more coherently. Maritime spatial planning (MSP) works across borders and sectors to ensure human activities at sea take place in an efficient, safe and sustainable way. That is why the European Parliament and the Council have adopted a legislation to create a common framework for maritime spatial planning in Europe. The Directive 2014/89/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 (said Maritime Spatial Planning Directive) establishes a framework in order to reduce conflicts between sectors and create synergies between different activities, to encourage ...
