 Other observations are to be included during the demonstration phase. Standards based data services have been used where possible: Open Geospatial Consortium Web Map Services for maps, Web Feature Service for observations, and THREDDS OpenDAP for gridded data. This addresses another aim of the project: to provide interoperable systems that can be combined for different uses and in different regions. Other observations are to be included during the demonstration phase.

-===== User requests ===== +User requirements were captured for S9.2.2 Ecosystem Health in the North Sea and S9.2.8 Environmental Status Support to North Sea Fisheries Assessment, from interviews conducted with users and experts.  A single requirements capture exercise covered both applications, since the users were able to offer expertise on both and the main input dataset (UK Met Office physical-ecosystem shelf seas model) is the same.  The differences in requirement between the two systems are reflected in the two web portals.
