Data User Element Programme (DUE)
–
A voluntary programme requested by member states to develop operational EO
application
–
–
Initially (1996) as DUP, and from 2003 as the DUE (now supported by all 18
member states and Canada)
Three clear objectives:
1.
to create an environment allowing for the development of user communities
for both institutional and commercial applications;
2.
to support European companies to develop and demonstrate information
products;
3.
to support industry, i.e. value adding and servicing companies, in establishing
useful and cost effective services
(Note, DUE is not a programme providing operational products/services, but rather
demonstrations of products/services)
DUE User Driven Approach
User Groups: National & sub-national
public authorities, European institutions,
International organizations, NGOs
User requirements

DUE User Commitments
To initiate a project, ESA requests to participating user organizations:
 a Letter of Commitment
 a User Requirements Document (URD)
Letter of Commitment
I will commit X men/month of work to:
 Coordinate the work of local agencies;
 Consolidate the User Requirements;
 Provide access to data and information useful
for the project;
 Organize dedicated ground data collection
campaigns for the project;
 Support the validation of the results;
 Assess the final service from a user
perspective;
The User
User Requirement Document
The Service required include the provision of the
following geo-information products:

300+ user organizations in DUE
– ~170 national ministries and agencies
– ~100 research institutions
– ~few private companies and non-governmental organisations
– ~70 new users brought in 2008 and another 70 in 2009
– and users are from all continents
DUE user project example: medspiration
• Driven by tourism
• OSI SAF was sub-contractor
• http://www.medspiration.org/
Global projects… from 2001 to 2012
Innovators II – Ballast Water
–
Feasibility study for BSH addressing
the IMO convention directly in the
North Sea
–
Combined information from models
and previous DUE activities
–
To be presented in detail in the next
talk
–
ESA is interested in supporting
improvements and extension of this
activity – hence the WS
