Using lessons learned from previous phases, the consortium will continue to compile fragmented marine data products, making them available through the EMODnet Central Portal following optimisation and testing in Call for tenders EASME/2020/OP/0006 – [Lot 2 – Geology] Consortium GTK – Technical offer EGDI, the European Geological Data Infrastructure, and in home systems of work-package (WP) leaders. The portal will also provide access to data and metadata held by each participating organisation, allowing end users to assess the quality of data products, and providing them with an opportunity to create their own maps or models. Data products will be compiled at a scale of 1:100,000 or finer using the standards developed during the previous EMODnet Geology projects. At the same time, the consortium will continue to improve 1:250,000 and 1:1,000,000 data products generated during earlier EMODnet phases, as they have specific value for supra-regional to pan-European end use and visualisation. The smaller-scale products, although very informative, are more fragmentary.
