Knowledge transfer & sharing
Activity leader: Shom (France)
Partners: HELCOM, Maritime Institute of Maritime University in Gdynia (Poland), Cerema (France), Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (Netherlands), Seascape Belgium
The aim of this project activity is to provide significant advances on the DIKW (Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom) pyramid as “backbone” of this work package to support decision-making for a sea basin and digital MSP approach, linking the North Sea in the GNSBI context (including the Channel part) and the Baltic Sea in the context of HELCOM-VASAB regional MSP cooperation.
- Data – the foundation – are facts, signals or symbols that have no meaning outside of the human mind ⇒ processing context ⇒ D to I
- Information emerges through cognitive processing of data, arranged and ordered in a consistent way, the products ⇒ cognition meaning ⇒ I to K
- Knowledge constitutes a collection of information with its associated context, giving a specific human understanding, which is reached through
services ⇒ judgement insight ⇒ K to W - Wisdom is shared understanding, and it is reached through actions ⇒ support decision-making at the end.
Work package’s objective fits into MSPD, MSFD, EGD EU, sea basin strategy frameworks and the work of the TEG on Data for MSP. It will provide key information (data that has been processed) as evidence to underpin “sound knowledge” (understanding of the information acquired) with the development to support different profiles of stakeholders involved in the MSP process (holistic scope: scientists, MSP planners, policy makers, interest groups and citizens, etc.), in decision-making. This will ultimately enable an optimal development of human activities at sea in a sustainable manner within the carrying capacity of the marine ecosystem.
