Data Overview

Data is gathered through OSPAR’s Joint Assessment and Monitoring Programme across the different thematic work areas of the Convention. The reported data is presented in ODIMS, it is made available by the Secretariat either by directly uploading packages to ODIMS or presented via webservices from external sources. The Table below provides an overview of data for each Datastream including links to these external data sources.

OSPAR produces an array of assessments based on the reported data and the assessments are presented in OAP. There are various tools used to assist in the delivery of these assessments, links to which are included in the table below.  

The OSPAR Commission also has a GitHub page which provides access to all public repositories for which it is an owner or a member.
