access to data
� Integrated analyses, data quality improvements, packaged
information products
• New capacities become available
� Computing performance; harmonization services; cross-� Computing performance; harmonization services; cross-
domain scientific collaboration through VREs-SocialMedia-R;
Big Data to Science
– Increased cost efficiencies
�Cloud hosting solution
�Software solutions are pooled and reused
�Development time and cost significantly reduced

Conclusion
why is FAO engaged
• FAO has launched global Blue Growth initiative
� Encompasses EA, Food Security, Ecosystem Services
� Increasing need for holistic evidence base
� No one institution can serve these policy needs in isolation
• iMarine appears the right answer to an obvious demand
� Project was successful to create business link with community
� 3 to 4 opportunities for iMarine services each month
� Developing software is not FAO’s mandate
� FAO is not a funding institutions
� FAO wants to build on EU’s know-how for offering global services
• A sustainable platform is required
European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
• iMarine will maintain baseline operations beyond
project end
• iMarine business model components will be finalized by
end 2014
Conclusion
Project results are very encouraging
partners mindset set Momentum
end 2014
• Call for strategic partners of iMarine advisory and
steering Boards
• Growth is the unique viable scenario for medium term
� Funding support is required for growth
� iMarine partners will work to raise various funding sources

Your opinion on the presented
model is welcomed
and some guiding questions:
� What role can your organization play in this model
Time for Open discussion
� What role can your organization play in this model
� How to best organize community Governance structure
� What is EC strategy for strengthening data infrastructure
landscape? Distributed and modular vs centralized ?
� What about a marketplace for data e-infrastructure where data
services can be offered to a potentially broader spectrum of
users
