Sextant French marine spatial data infrastructure http://www.ifremer.fr/sextant/ Objectives Collect, archive and distribute reference maps and other marine data sets Gather and make available vector and raster spatial data produced by Ifremer and its partners Web GIS providing discovery, viewing and download online services Designed according to the European INSPIRE directive for interoperability and according to the OGC and ISO TC 211 standards
Sextant Interoperability and Inspire Metadata normalized ISO 19115 and ISO 19139 standards compliant OGC standard Catalogue Services Web (CSW 2.0.2) http://www.ifremer.fr/geonetwork/srv/fr/csw Inspire directive Viewing data OGC standard - Web Map Service (WMS) http://www.ifremer.fr/services/wms1 Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) Data extraction OGC standard - Web Feature Service (WFS) http://www.ifremer.fr/services/wfs1 OGC standard - Web Coverage Service (WCS) http://www.ifremer.fr/services/wcs1

Multi thematic data holdings Environment Halieutics Water quality (coastal networks) Marine habitats Aquaculture Fishing activities Resources Economical aspects Geoscience Bathymetry Sedimentology Acoustical imagery (sonar) Ocean physics Hydrodynamics (temperature, salinity, currents) Historic data Historic photos, maps.
Data storage Different kind of data can be integrated: Vector (Shapefile, Oracle Spatial) Images (Scan, Orthophotos ) Grid data (Bathymetric DTM, Lidar) Models and digital analyses (multidimensional gridded datasets) Hydrodynamic Climatology (in situ, satellitales)
The thematic catalogs Sextant is structured in thematic catalogs: One spatial infrastructure for several catalogs and webgis They warrant: A users rights management associated to the data A restricted and secured distribution of the information And give you the choice of a website to present the associated project
Metadata catalog To promote the share and distribution We have normalize : Data description (ISO 19115) XML encoding (ISO 19139) Access to catalogs (CSW) Geonetwork Software At the moment: 3000 metadata on-line 5000 geographic information layers available
Metadata catalog You can choose many different criteria to search a metadata Where : to search a metadata according to its geospatial information What : to search a metadata according to its content Who : to search a metadata according to its producer When : to search a metadata according to its date
Metadata catalog six major thematic categories Human activities (Fishing, Infrastructure, Monitoring networks...) Activités humaines (Pêche, Infrastructures, Réseaux de surveillance Numerical maps Cartes scannées (Shom, IGN, Ifremer ) Imagery (Aerial photos, Acoustic images) Imagerie (Photos aériennes, Images acoustiques, ) Biological environment (Habitats, Species) Milieu biologique (Habitats, Espèces ) Physical environment (Bathymetry, Geology,..) Milieu physique (Bathymétrie, Géologie ) Regulation and management (Réglementation et gestion (Administrative boundaries, navigation data, ) (Limites administratives, Données de navigation )

Access to observation data Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) allows access to data from sensors measurement SensorML : models and schema for describing sensor metadata O&M : models and schema for encoding sensor data SOS : interface to access sensor metadata (SensorML) and sensor data (O&M)
Exemple : Ifremer Monitoring Network The monitoring network : access to time series
Exemple : Ifremer Monitoring Network From the layer table, access to the sensor metadata
Exemple : Ifremer Monitoring Network And then, access to the sensor data
