<strong>A first workshop on data formats and conventions for future NECCTON products took place on 15th of March 2023.</strong><br />
<br />
This online meeting organized by Work Package 2 (*) brought together Work Package leaders and visualisation tools partners.<br />
<br />
It was the starting point of discussions about good practices, specific needs and expectations about data/metadata formats and conventions.<br />
<br />
This meeting will allow to draw a first mapping of the different products that are part of NECCTON with first-level general information, and more widely to develop interactions among different work packages and partners.<br />
