The Technical activities aim to design, develop, install and maintain the common software components of the system, and make recommendations for its further evolution and sustainability.

Activity Number	Title	Short description and objectives of the activity	Participants
JRA1	Standards development	Development of the necessary common standards for data processing and communication, in cooperation with the international authorities such as IOC/IODE and ICES and starting from standards already developed during SEASEARCH . The results will be a library of standards for exchanging the meta-data of the inventories and a common methodology for data and products quality control.	Leader P3 Participants: P1 , P2, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P10, P14, P15, P19, P20, P24, P25
JRA2	Technical development of the interoperable system	Overall system design, development, integration, tests and maintenance of the system components: Virtual Private Network (VPN); Interfaces between the local platforms and the VPN Common replicable data catalogue; Portal and online data distribution system including on demand through web portal, specific regular deliveries to modellers, periodic snapshots and other data services. Technical watch to update the system.
