Abstract :
This paper summarizes the present state of marine data accumulation in Japan and proposes the commercialization of Marine Information Technology (MIT). In addition, it calls for establishing new standardized methods of collecting, processing and publishing marine data. By considering the impact to the marine industry by these new data processing and publishing methods as well as newly appearing information technologies, the authors are proposing framework for a marine information industry that provides services based on this marine information/data
