Your Data and Why It Matters – OceanWise Marine Data Management Awareness Course

Data is expensive to collect and needs to be treated as an extremely valuable corporate resource. However, history shows that a majority of organisations rarely, if ever, manage it effectively! With data volumes growing exponentially each year, ‘Big Data’ is now presenting a real challenge and the need to consider ‘data-centric’ operational processes and workflows has never been greater.

This course introduces attendees to subjects such as the Data Life-Cycle, Data and Metadata Standards, Co-ordinate Reference Systems, Data Quality, Sharing and Publishing. The day concludes with a discussion on the challenges organisations face in achieving Data Management ‘Best Practise’. If you are involved in data collection, analysis, sharing, re-use or archiving, then this course will provide you with an extremely valuable insight on the world of data because ‘your data really does matter’.

Why take the course?
The course shows how effective data management can improve your organisation’s efficiency in data acquisition, storage and analysis. It will ensure you understand data use with respect to corporate risk, re-use, audit and traceability whilst at the same time minimising costs.

Who should attend?
The course – delivered by data management specialists OceanWise – is aimed at those who work with marine data from its capture, processing, ingestion, re-use and curation and those seeking to discover, view, download and transform data.. It is about knowing what data you already have, where it is, how to find it and how good it is.

“The course provided a good broad overview about a structured data management system and data policy” Maik Weidt (Hydrographic Consultant, Geomatics Matters Ltd)
