3. The FDI-WG
The Fisheries Data Interoperability Working Group
(FDI-WG)
• Devise a global data exchange and integration
framework to support scientific advice on stock
status and exploitation that builds on fisheries
data
• Facilitate the use of de-facto, and preferably open,
standards for the identification, description,
mapping and publication of fisheries data
• Connect existing data networking initiatives

7. The interoperability challenges
Data formats and management
FAO Challenge Where we are Where we want to be
Data Designed for a task (Linked) Open Data
Data collection Designed for a task Designed for re-use
Data formats Designed for a domain Interoperable
Data harmonization Disorganized Global Master Data
Time series analysis DIY  Integrated toolkit
Spatial data analysis Outsourced (2 systems) Inspire metadata
Reporting and
dissemination
Fact-sheets in a site, static
download
 Dynamic reports and
registries; traceable data
