This course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to marine data management and validation, including the guiding principles of open science and the European data infrastructures that support it. This course has been developed by and for marine data managers and researchers responsible for the collection and good management of marine data. It covers various general aspects related to marine data management and data life cycle, including metadata, quality control, data policy, data sharing and publication, data management plans. By the end of this course, participants will be able to undertake the core tasks required to process and curate marine data and advise researchers on the importance of metadata and responsible data sharing.
Participants will get with a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts, best practices and principles of data management and quality control. Insights from previous experiences and case studies will allow participants to deepen the knowledge on the national and EU landscape of marine data infrastructures. Practical exercises will enable RI staff to acquire the basic skills to be applied effectively in their specific context.

Research data management, Identifiers and metadata
-
- Dealing with data and metadata:
- Metadata in SeaDataNet/EMODnet directories.
- Common Data Inedx (CDI): SeaDataNet metadata content standard.
- Metadata format for reporting on cruises (Cruise Summary Report- CSR), dataset (European Directory of Marine Environmental Data sets EDMED), projects (EDMERP) and organisations (EDMO).
- SeaDataNet NVS controlled vocabularies (for metadata and data).
Data submission in the EMODnet Ingestion Workflow (phases for data submitters, metadata, and NODC processing).
- Software for ocean data and metadata management.
- SeaDataNet Metadata formatting tools:
- MIKADO: for editing and generating XML metadata entries for the for the SeaDataNet directories EDMED, CSR, EDMERP and CDI.
- SeaDataNet Data formatting tools:
- NEMO: for conversion of any ASCII format to all SeaDataNet data formats (ODV ASCII, NetCDF (CF) and MedAtlas).
- OCTOPUS: a multi-format splitter and converter tool to to convert files in a given SeaDataNet format to another SeaDataNet format (e.g. ODV to NetCDF, MedAtlas to NetCDF, MedAtlas to ODV).
