Why is data integration important? 🌊 🤷♀️ Integration involves combining diverse types of data from various sources into a unified system, enabling comprehensive analysis for better decision-making. This process is challenging due to: ➡ Heterogeneous data formats ➡ Different data structures and sources ➡ Data quality issues ➡ Scalability Nevertheless, despite these difficulties, successful data integration can significantly improve decision-making, operational efficiency, and data insights by gathering and integrating data from various sources in a way that makes it uniform, well-organised, and complete. These ‘integrated datasets’ allow for consistent, accurate, and thorough analysis, providing a full and clear picture of the information being studied. ⚜ At LandSeaLot we are actively creating links between research communities and reducing gaps in environmental observations via the deployment of new cost-effective sensors and citizen science participation, improved remote sensing, in situ data from river and marine sources and making it interoperable with existing in situ data and models. Our integrated data merges into existing EU aggregators such as EDITO - European Digital Twin Ocean, SeaDataNet, EMODnet, and Copernicus In Situ TAC, ultimately contributing to GEOSS and INSPIRE. 👉 Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed about LandSeaLot’s work https://lnkd.in/eu3Y4iCR #Integration #DataManagement #LandSeaLot #OceanScience #CitizenScience #Sustainability #ClimateChange #MarineConservation #Data #Research #EU #MissionOcean #EUGreenDeal #Horizon EU debora bellafiore Romaric Verney Ifremer brest (dyneco) Ifremer CNR-ISMAR Institute of Marine Sciences Francisco Javier Campuzano anouk blauw Deltares ATLANTIC
