EMODnet Chemistry and the wider ocean data ecosystem

Featured in the latest EMODnet Chemistry report, the scientific article, “An overview of the ocean data ecosystem”, highlights the contribution of EMODnet’s Chemistry thematic to the ocean data ecosystem, as a key component of the wider EMODnet service. The concept of a data ecosystem offers a useful framework for strengthening the weakest link in the data value chain: data management based on FAIR and TRUST principles. Read this article to learn more about the actors, organisations, and infrastructures that make up the ocean data ecosystem as described by the authors of the paper.
