Data Assessment, Harmonisation, and Certification Facilities

Overview

The iMarine EA Community of Practice works on a wide range of data types with different sources and targets; our main objective is to let the user consume this data in an uniform and useful way. Data retrieved using different format and protocol is harmonizated and assessed using the service offered by this area and by the one already present in the system.
