[Robert Groman]

To Data Management People,

I would like to remind you about the data management
theme session at the upcoming ICES Annual Meeting, 19-23
September 2006, taking place at Maastricht Exhibition
and Congress Centre (MECC), the Netherlands.  It is an
opportunity for you to share your data integration,
data sharing, data quality assurance, visualization, etc.
efforts with a broad, international audience of your
peers. Abstracts are due Monday 24 April 2006.  Additional
information is included below.

Thank you and please feel free to share this e-mail with
your colleagues.

Cheers, Bob Groman

"Environmental and fisheries data management, access,
	and integration"

Conveners: Christopher Zimmerman (Germany), Helge
	Sagen, (Norway), and Peter H. Wiebe (USA).

Session Description:

Enhanced integration of diverse fishery, oceanographic,
and other marine environmental data, and tools to enable
fishery and environmental assessments are needed to
respond to the requirements for ecosystem-based management
initiatives. The growing number of databases and data sources
requires new approaches to be developed for efficient
access to data – and especially to data in distributed
databases. Management of the data also requires new
approaches to meet enhanced requirements and take advantage
of new technologies, for example, GIS-based systems and the
Internet. This Theme Session invites the participation of
database specialists, distributed data specialists,
visualization specialists, end users, and others. It is
hoped that they will present and/or demonstrate:

* technical solutions for data integration;
* novel ways to merge/integrate/distribute disparate data;
* experience with use and visualization of integrated data;
* data quality assurance and indicators;
* improved methods for displaying complex data sets;
* examples of successful applications.

Abstract Submission Instructions

Paper/Poster titles and abstracts should be submitted to the ICES
Secretariat in Copenhagen, clearly stating the Theme Session to
which they are being submitted.

The abstracts must be received by no later than Monday 24 April

will be printed in the Conference Handbook and placed on the
ICES Website. All submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail.
Please note that the ICES Secretariat and Session Conveners
will correspond only with the first author named of any
submission, unless otherwise instructed. All abstracts of
papers and posters will be reviewed by the Secretariat in
collaboration with the Session Conveners and the Consultative
Committee. It is expected that all contributors will be
informed in late May/early June 2006 whether or not their
contributions have been accepted. Abstracts, clearly indicating
the Session to which they apply, should be submitted to the
ICES Secretariat by e-mail. The e-mail address is:
