BackgroundThe Expert Workshop On Establishment of a Comprehensive Database and Information Management System (NOWPAP/1) (Beijing, China, 6-8 July 1998) approved the Proposal for NOWPAP/1 Phase II, in Which the Activity 7 Collection of the Inventory Information from Within and Outside of NOWPAP was identified with the purpose to collect the information on GIS-type products within and outside of NOWPAP programmes.The Fourth Intergovernmental Governmental Meeting (Beijing, China, 6-7 April 1999) adopted the Workplan and Budget for Implementation of NOWPAP in the Biennium 1999-2000, in which the Activity M Collection of the Inventory Information from the Community Within and Outside of NOWPAP was identified in the Establishment of a Comprehensive Database and Information Management System (NOWPAP/1) Phase II.The Second NOWPAP DINRAC Focal Points Meeting (Sanya, China, 29 October -1 November 2003) approved the Workplan and Budget for the DINRAC Activities for the 2004/2005 Biennium, in which the Activity J Studies on GIS-type Products Within and Outside of NOWPAP was identified. The Workplan was adopted by the Eighth Intergovernmental Meeting (Sanya, China, 5-7 November 2003).The Activity A Harmonization and Completion of National Reports on Data and Information Networks in the Workplan and timetable for the 2002/2003 agreed at the First NOWPAP DINRAC Focal Points Meeting (Shanghai, China, 25-28 November 2002) was implemented by DINRAC and Focal Points. As the outcome of this activity, the National Reports on Coastal and Marine Environmental Data and Information Networks in the Northwest Pacific Region were compiled and printed after harmonization and completion.In the item of 5.3 GIS and Remote Sensing application related to NOWPAP of the National Reports, introductions for GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) applications in each NOWPAP Members were given. Generally, related plans, programme and projects were started in1990’s in four countries, Japan, People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea and Russian Federation. Related systems and products have been yielded during about 10 years, such as digital marine map databases, the Marine Fishery GIS in China, the Marine Geographic Information Systems in Korea, etc.2. ObjectivesThe purpose of the activity Studies on GIS-type Products Within and Outside of NOWPAP is to conduct studies on the GIS-type products on coastal and marine environmental protection UNEP/NOWPAP/DINRAC/FPM 3/12 Page3 in the NOWPAP Region in the NOWPAP Members. The studies will give a review and understanding on the development and current situation of GIS and RS applications, as well as the existing related products on coastal and marine environmental protection in the NOWPAP Region so as to promote information exchange and distribution.The Definition for the GIS-type Products in this activity is: the products of GIS and RS applications on coastal and marine environmental protection in the NOWPAP Region in the NOWPAP Members within and outside of NOWPAP Programmes.  In the NOWPAP Region means, the spatial coverage of the products is located in the sea area of the NOWPAP Region (from about 121OE to143 OE longitude, and from approximately 52 ON to 33 ON latitude), or covers the part of the sea area of the NOWPAP Region.  The NOWPAP Members refers to Japan, People's Republic of China, Republic of Korea and Russian Federation. Within and outside of NOWPAP Programmes means, the data produced not only from NOWPAP activities but also from non-NOWPAP activities will be collected.The GIS-type Products in this activity could be normally categorized as: Data products: spatial datasets, spatial databases, meta-databases etc. Derivative products: development and application of GIS and RS software for specific purpose, WebGIS services, reports, atlases, multimedia products and other kinds of products.To integrate and present the study results, a meta-database and a database will be developed for the data products and the derivative products respectively. Based on the data collected, the National Reports will be compiled as a general overview for GIS and RS applications and a summary of related products in the NOWPAP Members.3. Expected OutcomesA series of outcomes will be produced from this activity. Outcomes will be published on DINRAC Website and printed as NOWPAP DINRAC Publications (No. X). 1) A Meta-database on GIS-type Data Products (No. X-1) in the NOWPAP Region will be established and could be accessed at the DINRAC Website. 2) A Database on GIS-type Derivative Products (No. X-2) in the NOWPAP Region will be established and could be accessed at the DINRAC Website. 3) The National Reports on the Current Status of Existing GIS-type Products in the NOWPAP Region (No. X-3) will be compiled and printed after harmonization and completion. 4) A CD-ROM edition for the meta-database on GIS-type data products and the database on GIS-type derivative products will be developed and printed.
