Key messages
1. BlueBRIDGE delivers services
2. The services support the phases of the knowledge production chain
3. The services are for different users (science vs business)
4. The services can be used across scientific disciplines, between public and
private sector
5. There is a focus on ecosystem approach to fisheries & aquaculture
Braddock Spear said that to be an Ambassador, they
need to have some talking points. The consortium must
spend time refining greatly the concrete messages that
Ambassadors can adopt.
ACTION FOR US – PREPARE PPT for EAB
Leo: the concept of service is
"overloaded" and
- the concept of VRE is almost absent. At
the end of the story BB is called to
develop a number of VREs thus this
concept should be a "first class citizen";
PMBret: I think we should continue to talk
about the 7 or 9 VREs as "services" and
for the rest we have to talk about "tools"
which are integrated to the services
(VREs).
For example: Stock assessment = Service
// Taxonomic naming matching = Tool //
Data Analytics = General Functionality
«Services operated through VREs»

the
consortium
means
when we
talk about
“knowledge
”.
PROPOSAL 1. Innovative services supporting the knowledge
production chain (the data life cycle?) across disciplines and
sectors
Funded under the H2020 framework, BlueBRIDGE develops web-based Data Analytics, Discovery, Access, Integration and
Publishing services i.e. Virtual Research Environments. BlueBRIDGE supports decision-makers and investors to make informed
decisions in both scientific and business contexts, for example in the fields of aquaculture and ecosystem approach to fisheries.
PROPOSAL 2. Innovative services for fisheries, aquaculture
and beyond
Funded under the H2020 framework, BlueBRIDGE develops web-based services (i.e. Virtual Research Environments) covering the
knowledge production chain from data harmonisation and analysis to the production of indicators to support decision-makers and
investors. The services can be used across scientific disciplines, between public and private sectors.
PROPOSAL 3. Providing collaborative web-based services to
support the generation of new knowledge
Funded under the H2020 framework, BlueBRIDGE develops web-based services (i.e. Virtual Research Environments)
covering the knowledge production chain from data harmonisation and analysis to the production of indicators to
support decision-makers and investors. The services can be used across scientific disciplines, between public and
private sectors.

Scientific training environments
Bionym: a flexible and customizable taxonomic naming matching workflow consulted monthly more than 10,000 times
Biodiversity Lab: a virtual laboratory where biologists, ecologists, and environmental scientists can easily perform data
access, data harmonization, data preparation and data analytics
Scalable Data Mining: a virtual laboratory designed to apply Data Mining techniques to biological, ecological, and
environmental data. The algorithms are executed in a distributed fashion on the e-Infrastructure resources or on local multicore servers. Scalability is thus meant as distributed data processing but even as services dynamically provided to the users
Tabular Data Lab: a virtual laboratory created to provide its users with a working environment supporting the management of
tabular data, i.e. any dataset that can be represented in a table format. In particular, the environment offers a suite to import,
curate, analyse, and publish tabular data resources in a collaborative way
FAO Tuna Atlas: a specialization of the Tabular Data Lab, offering tools to harmonize, and standardize multiple data source on
tuna and bill fishes catches to feed the FAO Atlas of Tuna and Billfish Catches and the Global Tuna Catches by Stock
Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem (VME) DB: a VRE exploited by FAO to prepare Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VME’s)
factsheets in the High Seas
WECAFC Regional Database in support to WECAFC Fishery Management Plans: a virtual laboratory supporting the collation
and harmonization of national datasets required to support assessment of WECAFC’s spiny lobster, queen conch, flying fish,
and groundfish and shrimp assessment working groups, as well as monitoring tools required for adaptive management of
those fisheries.

new structure
PROPOSAL A
- Data Analytics
- Data Access, Discovery and Harmonisation
- Data Visualisation and Maps Production
- Virtual Research Environment Builder
- Domain specific VREs
- VREs for scientific training environments
PROPOSAL B
- Aquaculture Atlas Generation – under

Services are "unitary" components, no matter the VRE they
originate from or the VREs they are expected to serve. Each
ideas??? it should be clear
service should be a Other
sort of micro-service,
what is the functionality it offers. I would expect to see a long
list of services. For each service we can make use of "tags"
thus to classify them according to diverse perspectives. One
of these tags can be used to implement the "Services for"
discussed in Slide 11.
Performance Evaluation in Aquaculture – under
development
Leo: - proposal A sounds having classes of services rather
than single services; - proposal B mixes VREs and some
services; VRE/VLab are "organised" set of services for serving a given scenario. They are mainly characterised by a goal and a community. The list of services is "what" a VRE offers.

Nicolas Bailly had said that we need to think about a
communication message adapted for the different layers of
the hierarchy, the service layers, the administrators, etc. We
need to have a multi-layered catalogue of services.

-Fabrizio Natale also said to try positioning BlueBRIDGE
against some other initiatives, by showing and declaring
our position against them in spite of the potential
competition (benchmarking). This is needed at the EC
level otherwise there is fear that there is overlap between
the projects and what is being accomplished. Example,
EMODNET does X, BlueBRIDGE does Y, each knows what
they do, but the EC doesn’t.
