Data alone, without context, is worthless. In fact, on its surface, data is simply a collection of numbers, words, images, vectors, etc. It is only when data is presented with a context that it becomes meaningful and - with the proper context - decisions can be made based on the data but also based on what the data means. Our analyses have shown that the context around the data determines data pricing and packaging. Data is useful depending on who the end consumer is and what they need the data for.
The Ocean Data Challenge program is designed to help data owners discover various contexts for their data; build a community around the data and then turn ideas into commercialisable reality.
If data context questions are answered, then fit-for-function data packaging and pricing schemes can be built around the data. And if several contexts of use can be established for different user groups, then multiple pricing schemes and products can be developed to capture and generate maximum economic value creation for everyone.

With the Ocean Data Challenge program, we want data providers and data scientists to benefit in:
We want to expose the latent potential of data to activate new discoveries, products, and services.
