They also linked QGIS to existing data systems and implemented metadata management across the business.
OceanWise also assisted EMEC to update its data policy and strategy and prepare a roadmap to include data management.
David Darbinyan , senior metocean engineer at EMEC explained:
“OceanWise provided EMEC with valuable support in managing our diverse datasets.
“OceanWise not only provided a high-level overview of best data management practices, but also supplied very concrete and hands-on steps to improve our existing approach.
“The feedback allowed us to take full advantage of our existing Integrated Management System tools and processes.”

Of course, systems and software have their role and can provide the ‘pipework’ or ‘plumbing’, but everyone is responsible for the data flowing through the pipes.
