To guarantee the maximal visibility of the NAUTILOS project products a dedicated catalogue will collect and list the produced data products. There are different tools and services to set up catalogues e.g. Sextant, GeoNetwork, EPOS, etc. The report will discuss pros vs. cons of the available solutions and identify the best option for the project. The catalogue will also be linked with dissemination tools/channels such as ERDAPP or THREDDS that will guarantee easy interoperability and up to date machine-to-machine services. The document will discuss the technical implementation of this solution.

The deliverable outlines a marine instrumentation roadmap of available technology for oceanography stakeholders (e.g. industry, policymakers, researchers). It is a ten-year open access roadmap for marine instrumentation presenting information from industrial companies, universities and research centers including the name of the sensor/instrument, the application area or type of technology, maturity level (TRL) and information about its ongoing or planned commercialization. The roadmap builds on H2020 AtlantOS project, and information from EurOcean’s infobase – Marine Knowledge Gate 3.0 (H2020 Common Sense project) and results from NeXOS project and following the general community recommendations on FAIR data (Toste et al. 2019).

A final version of the roadmap building on the roadmap developed in M24 will be included in the final version of the NAUTILOS Exploitation Strategy.
