MONALISA — Global Sharing of Maritime Information

Global Sharing of Maritime Information

Global Sharing of Maritime Information (GSMI)

The first sub-activity, Analysis and design, was finalised in 2011, according to plan. However, it was foreseen that it would be necessary to re-open this activity at a later stage. This is in line with the chosen agile development methodology which should ensure close conformance to those functional requirements which may change during the lifetime of the project.

The Analysis and design sub-activity was re-opened early in 2012 in order to augment the data security and integrity requirements. These aspects are important for those data owners who are willing to share their data with others, but need to have some degree of control over the destiny of their data.

The second sub-activity, System development, commenced as planned in 2011, and a working prototype of the so-called universal proxy was developed by the end of 2011. Further development of the prototype has taken place in the first part of 2012, and testing of basic functions started before summer holidays 2012.

The third sub-activity, Promotion and marketing, also commenced as planned in Q3 2011. The basic concept on Global Sharing of Maritime Information was presented at the IALA workshop in September 2011. The participation in the workshop served as promotion for the concept. In 2012 the concept will be promoted within the framework of the overall promotion of the MONALISA project.
