Deriving MEDIN Data Guidelines for Geotechnical Data Surveys

Tender description

*** This tender requirement was abandoned prior to a Contract award decision. *** The aim of the derived Guideline is to create a reference specification for geotechnical data that can be used by the marine community. The specification should instruct users on what metadata and data to collect to ensure their geotechnical data can be re-used without recourse to the original data collector(s). The derived guidelines should • follow the existing structure implemented by MEDIN to allow compatibility with the overall model. The document "MEDIN Data Guidelines Data Model" can be found in attachments which gives information about the overall model. • where applicable and timely, be consistent with any relevant INSPIRE Data Specifications • be flexible to allow the use of the standard for different scenarios and different needs. For example clearly show where a field is mandatory for a specific user requirement • propose formats for exchanging the data • be signed off by the MEDIN Standards Working Group (WG).
