The International Cruise Summary Reports Database

• Cruise Summary Reports (CSRs)
• are the first hand information on
  measurements done on research vessel cruises
  or any sampling at sea
• have a long tradition
• are a global standard defining an
  oceanographic cruise

SDI-BSH
Development of the Spatial-Data Infrastructure at
BSH

• Integration of the BSHs technical / subject
  systems
• DIRECTIVE 2003/4/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
  AND OF THE COUNCIL Public access to
  environmental information
• ARHUS CONVENTION
• to be ready for INSPIRE

Almost all the work at BSH is based on spatial
data!
39
Spatial Data Infrastructure at BSH
Goals of the SDI-BSH

• Provision of an Interdisciplinary Access to the
  Spatial-Data of BSH for internal and external
  users

• Provision of Spatial-Data and Metadata for
  theGerman Spatial Data Infrastructure (GDI-DE)
  and INSPIRE

• Provision of Spatial-Data in the framework of
  the Freedom of Information Law and theFreedom
  of Environmental Information Regulation.

• Build the basis for the future task as the Marine
  Spatial Data Centre within the German Spatial
  Data Infrastructure (GDI-DE).
