Brief Description of the Program: Up-Grade of Black Sea SCENE aims at: (1) extending the
existing research infrastructure with 19 marine environmental institutes/organizations from the 6
Black Sea countries. (2) implementing the results of the Joint Research Activities of the FP6 RI
SeaDataNet project (common communication standards and adapted technologies to ensure the
datacenters interoperability). (3) networking the existing and new Black Sea datacenters, active in
data collection, and providing integrated databases of standardized quality on-line. (4) realizing
and improving on-line access to in-situ and remote sensing data, meta-data and products. (5)
adopting standardized methodologies for data quality checking to ensure the quality, compatibility
and coherence of the data issuing from so many sources.
