MARISPACE-X: Digitalizing the ocean - the future of maritime data in the European federated data infrastructure GAIA-X

Abstract

Within the Marispace-X project, a digital maritime data space based on data sovereignty, security, interoperability, and modularity according to the Gaia-X concept should be created. The article provides an overview of the envisioned Marispace-X digital infrastructure, a decentralized maritime data ecosystem, followed by exemplary applications for hydrographic surveys and some of the use cases defined in the Marispace-X project. These exemplary applications are related to data management, sharing and processing services that can be performed on a cloud infrastructure. This digital infrastructure should simplify data handling of all the different data types and formats that exist in the maritime domain.
