Data policy for the Regional Database and Fishery Information System for the Mediterranean and Black Sea (MED&BS RDBFIS)
Martina Zilioli;
Generally speaking, data policy refers to the identification of principles and provisions which rule the
exchange of data through an ICT tool or human/machine services by explicating purposes (i.e. the goal of the
data policy), actors, procedures and temporal specifications to which the data policy applies (i.e. the scope
of the data policy).
This data policy (DP) document has been drawn up by Work Package 3 in the grant “Development of the
Regional Database for the Mediterranean and Black Sea” under the European Union (EU) Call for Proposals
MARE/2020/08 (Consortium Agreement SI2.839444) and it was submitted for reviewing to the Steering
Committee of the grant.
It refers to the data policy of the Regional Database and Fishery Information System for the Mediterranean
and Black Sea (hereafter referred as Med&BS RDBFIS), a matter that pertains to the Steering Committee on
the Med&BS Regional Database (Med&BS RDBFIS SC), which will lead the governance of the RDBFIS itself. Its
membership and governance rules are under definition and approval.
For this reason, this document offers a provisional proposal in order to allow RDBFIS data population,
necessary to enable checking of Med&BS RDBFIS facilities within the grant. In the meanwhile, this document
will be submitted for reviewing by the Med&BS Regional Coordination Group (Med&BS RGC), from which the
final validation and further updates are expected. In any case, its enforcement should be limited to the
current grant duration (i.e. 2022).
