Abstract

This guide describes the data model proposed by the EMODnet Human Activities team for presenting an EU-wide dataset on Marine Spatial Planning. The data set represents the marine spatial plans adopted by the Member States following the Directive 2014/89/EU. Building on previous initiatives and research projects across Europe (HELCOM-VASAB, MSP INSPIRE Data Model and SIM projects) as well as on the findings from the Commission Technical Expert Group on MSP Data, an INSPIRE compliant data model has been designed. The model aims to ensure harmonization and usability by all potential marine data users: policy-makers, scientists, private companies and the public. Therefore, the specific attributes of the MSPs across EU countries were also taken into account for their representation on the EMODnet geoportal.
