Main goal

Increasing the availability and usability of oceanographic data.

Both public institutions and commercial enterprises need reliable data on the environment associated with their activity. The eCUDO project aims to release the potential of oceanographic data collected during monitoring and scientific research carried out by project partners. The results acquired during various research activities are cataloged in a transparent and publicly accessible eCUDO database. Integration and centralization of this data will replace the previous, less than perfect, state of affairs which required either accessing separate IT systems and sources or ordering personalized expert reports.

Specific objectives

Improving the availability and usability of digitized oceanographic data resources.

Increasing the quality of digital oceanographic data resources.

The use of cross-platform technology to share digitized oceanology science resources.

Providing technology for the reuse of oceanographic data.

Ensuring interoperability and open access of data.

Increasing the competence of personnel involved in both digital sharing and reuse of oceanographic data resources.

Implementation of the key objectives leads to long-term benefits:

building a knowledge-based economy in Poland,
building information society in Poland,
the sustainable exploitation of the Baltic Sea,
efficient management of Baltic resources,
effective fulfillment of obligations regarding Baltic monitoring,

supporting the preparation of several projects in Poland, including R+D, without being compelled to purchase data on the Baltic Sea. This will allow focusing on economical, societal, and scientific innovations.
development of the economy, competitiveness, labor market, and innovation, enabled by quick access to information, allowing for the implementation of various types of activities and investments in the coastal zone and maritime areas,
