{"Image DocumentName": "Ideal system properties", "Image ImageDescription": "Multisource. Multipurpose. Multidisciplinary. Multicultural. Multilingual. Multiple outputs. Multiscale. Interactive. Inter-operable. Nested. Evolutive. Authoritative. Affordable. Flexible. Building capacity. Action-oriented. End user-oriented. Ethical. The ideal properties of future information systems are rather straightforward and I list them here without commenting: Multisource: harvesting data from multiple providers; Multipurpose: for many different types of users; Multidisciplinary: integrating various types of knowledge; Multicultural: for users with different backgrounds; Multilingual:20 languages in FishBase; Multiple outputs: statistics, maps, graphs, briefs, fact sheets; Multiscale: in space and time. Possibility to scale up & down; Interactive: piloted both by users and providers; Inter-operable: federating efforts and data. Based on common standards; Nested: e.g. connecting national, regional ad global systems; Evolutive: adapting to demands; Authoritative: provide verified information. Data traceability. Pedigree; Affordable: low cost; Flexible: allowing on-line processing as well as downloading for offline work; Building capacity: providing training, best practices, etc.; Action oriented: Connected to decision-making; End user-oriented as opposed to technology- or supply-oriented; Ethical: recognises data providers and system developers.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
