The Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) and OceanWise are delighted to announce two new 2023 course dates for our free online workshop: Marine Data Management, Governance and the MEDIN toolset.
The courses will take place on the following dates:
The course takes place over 5 days with live lessons in the morning and independent learning in the afternoons.
The course can be taken as a whole, or attendees can select modules according to two streams: Marine Data Governance; or Practical MEDIN. Some modules are common to both streams, for example, modules on marine data management principles and components.
The Marine Data Governance stream consists of some elements of general data management best practice, suitable for anyone wishing to improve their data management skills; as well as some higher-level elements suitable for those wishing to enact wider improvements to data management practice across a team or organization.
The practical MEDIN stream also contains elements of general data management with a focus on tools that MEDIN use to facilitate good data management and governance. The practical side to this stream aims to familiarise attendees with creating MEDIN compliant data and metadata.
The course features interactive training and discussion sessions, quizzes, and assignments to help users become familiar with:
Following our survey in April to learn more about Digimap users’ data priorities for the future, we have some interesting results, with common themes emerging.
First priority datasets:
Second priority datasets:
Third priority datasets:
Combined, the three priorities look like this:
In summary, we think there is demand for more lidar data, more historical data and satellite imagery. We will continue to look at the detail of the survey and use the results to inform our pursuit of additional datasets for Digimap.
In the meantime, do explore what’s already there. Your institution may not subscribe to all the Digimap Collections but you can express your interest in those you don’t currently have access to by logging in to Digimap and following the prompts against each Collection. There is already a range of historical maps (OS, dating back to the 1840s), aerial photography (as much as is available from Getmapping Ltd at 25cm resolution) and Lidar data (originating from GB environment agencies), as well as a full range of DTM and DEM data, detailed OS topographical maps and land cover information. A complete list of all the data available can be found in the Digimap help pages: https://digimap.edina.ac.uk/help/our-maps-and-data/
