D4Science on ICES Symposium on the Collection and Interpretation of Fishery Dependent Data

"Making the Most of Fisheries Information" is the next ICES conference, where D4Science has been selected to be present as a poster session. Under the title of " Building an e-Infrastructure for Capture Statistics and Species Distribution Modeling: the D4Science Approach" Anton Ellenbroek, Marc Taconet, Leonardo Candela, Francesco Calderini, Claudio Baldassarre and Kristin Kaschner will deal with Interoperability and Standards in Marine Data Management.
 
The abstract of the poster is the following:
 
Fisheries Resources Management has an ever increasing demand for capture data with ever finer geographical resolution, and an ever greater number of environmental variables to take into account. In order to serve this demand, an efficient collaboration across widely dispersed and autonomous scientific disciplines is necessary, which can only be achieved through innovative research supporting environments that integrate data, processing and work-flows to produce new knowledge.
 
This presentation focuses on the implementation of this innovative approach in the context of the D4Science EU funded project. D4Science implements many standards and cutting-edge technologies, and the presentation outlines how data sources and state of the art software will be brought to the e-Infrastructure and made available through Virtual Research Environments (VRE) in support to scientific collaborative work such as species distribution predictive modeling and capture statistics geographic reallocation. The sustainability of the approach is also discussed putting forward the concept of “knowledge ecosystem” understood as a community of e-Infrastructures that provide services among each other.
