The Concepts
• The concept of Check Points was first introduced within the
Marine Knowledge 2020• No comprehensive overview on a sea basin
scale of gaps and the fitness for purpose of the present monitoring
for different application areas.
• The basin checkpoints stand at the end of a long value adding
chain and they feed back to the European Data Collection Framework
by assessing the quality of the monitoring Systems.
The EMODnet – MedSea Checkpoint serves to assess the
quality,extract the synergies between and identify the gaps of, the
present monitoring data sets for the entire Mediterranean Sea in
view of seven applications or ‘challenges’

The Challenges and their targeted Products
The Methodologies
THE BASIC ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Establishment of a metadatabase or CheckPoint information
database: a framework for the collection of info related to input
data
Definition of objectiveassessment criteriafor the production
of‘adequacy’ indicators
Analysis of the fitnessfor use and fitnesspurpose of the
inputdatasets with respect tospecific Challengetargeted
products
Two ‘Territories’ need to be evaluated in terms of Challenge
requirements
Appropriateness: What is made available to the Challenges and
what the inherent properties of such data sets are
Availability: How the input data sets are made available to
users

The Service
The Checkpoint service allows the users to search and discover input datasets through different users interfaces
BROWSER DASHBOARD GIS
http://www.emodnet-mediterranean.eu/checkpoint-service/
Facilitates the searchof the checkpointinformation producedby
challenges (nonexpert users, Google-like search function )
Presents and evaluatescheckpoint indicatorsautomatically
producedfrom the checkpointinformation database
Offers Standard search, discovery and viewing functions of
checkpoint info on input datasets - links tocatalogues
The main resultsThe main results achieved today
from the point of view of the indicators are:
•
Checkpoint service providing a platform of different tools for periodic assessments and allowing users to search and discover the available input datasets. The major assessments so far:
•
the majority of the data sets are accessible through an online delivery service;
•
the data policy is partially restricted;•
most of the data are free of charge;•
the responsiveness
in terms of data acquisition is generally high
• A detalied
Data Adequacy Report (to be re‐issued at the end)
General expected results:• Identification of gaps and
prioritization of the needs• recommendations for future
developments to better meet theapplication requirements

An industrial research project funded by the Italian Ministry
for Education and Research, underthe “Piano Operativo Nazionale
2007 – 2013”
The project’s aim: strengthening and consolidating the
operational oceanographic services inItaly and in particular in its
southern seas. Integrating marine‐weather and ocean forecastsand
analyses with advanced technological platforms that will allow an
unprecedenteddissemination of environmental information for the
"Situational Sea Awareness".

Weather marine forecasting service for the Mediterranean Sea.
MySeaConditions: customized forecast for registered users (favorite
places,bulletins, customized notifications)
A service providing optimized nautical routes in the
Mediterranean Sea. Theoptimization regards total navigation time,
taking into account safety of navigation.The computation of the
routes depends on model forecast of sea-state.
A service provided to support maritime authorities and
operational centres duringsearch-and-rescue operations. Using
OCEAN-SAR to simulate the possibletrajectories of persons or
objects lost at sea allows a better prioritisation of thesearch
areas and increases the chance of a successful rescue.
