Emergence of “Coastal Web Atlases”
“A collection of digital maps and datasets with supplementary tables, illustrations, and information that
systematically illustrate
the coast, oftentimes with cartographic and decision support tools, all of which are accessible via the Internet.” (O’Dea et al., 2007) Coastal Zone Management, Governance Governments, NGOs, Citizen Groups INSPIRE 3/GSDI 11 Jun 2009 3

Enter ICAN ….
Intellectual Merit
• Significant capacity, varying approaches • Regional governance, coordination • Best practices?
• Widespread solutions needed – Access to and documentation of data – Integration of tools – Decision support for coastal mgmt via atlases – “Semantic interoperability” Jun 2009 INSPIRE 3/GSDI 11 6

Workshop 1, 2006 Cork, Ireland
• To create & strengthen
relationships
between experts in marine & coastal mapping in North America and Europe • To identify
state of the art
approaches to coastal mapping and informatics Jun 2009 INSPIRE 3/GSDI 11 7
• Outline • Background • Strategic Aims • Membership • Tools • ICAN Future • Conclusion
Workshop 2, 2007 Corvallis, USA
• Improve searches
between
atlases – metadata to ontologies –
Marine Metadata Interoperability (MMI)
• Semantic interoperability • Linkages to use cases, communities • Proof-of-concept ontologies &
interoperability prototype
• Large, collaborative funding proposals Jun 2009 INSPIRE 3/GSDI 11 8

Workshop 3, 2008 Copenhagen, Denmark
• European Environment Agency sponsorship • Advance actions in: – Technical developments • Review of interoperability prototype – Strategic directions – Governance structure • Link to relevant initiatives in Europe Jun 2009 INSPIRE 3/GSDI 11 9

ICAN Strategic Aims
• Share experiences and find common solutions to coastal web atlas development –
Knowledge portal
: Guides, cookbooks, “engines”, discussion boards, code, use cases… • Globally integrate and interoperate among locally maintained atlases • Inform regional decision- and policy-making across several themes: • Climate change - coastal vulnerability • Coastal governance (boundaries, protected areas, etc.) • Coastal hazards • Population pressures • Marine spatial planning • Resource availability and exploitation INSPIRE 3/GSDI 11 10 Jun 2009
