D1.2 updates and augments D1.1 (Lear et al., 2025) by reporting concrete progress, decisions, and remaining actions to operationalise MARCO-BOLO’s data and information management processes and provide support to Work Packages 2–5 in the description and publication of their knowledge outputs.
The approach remains aligned to the UN Ocean Decade and the program components of IOC-UNESCO including ODIS and OBIS, in addition to EMODnet as the European data gateway, through the use of schema.org-based JSON-LD. We now provide an operational authoring pathway via Google Sheets → CSV → JSON-LD with validations and examples, plus clearer guidance on repository pathways and protocol DOIs.
