    Limitations and Potential of Information and Communication Technologies for Environmental Sustainability
    (Integration of Environmental Information in Europe, 2010) Maurer, Lisa; Marsh, Jesse; Tochtermann, Klaus
    ICT-ENSURE, a seventh framework programme support action, analyzed the importance and potential of information and communication technologies in the area of environmental sustainability and to work towards a European Research Area in the field of “ICT for Environmental Sustainability”. In order to achieve this, efforts were taken to involve a larger expert community in the process through the organization of workshops, and through questionnaires and surveys to involve a wide range of expert opinions in a number selected environmental fields (e.g. climate change, natural resources, biodiversity, energy, risk management …). Through this wide scope of selected research fields it became clear, that while some requirements were specific for the different fields and also for different actor groups, some general trends were clear and limitations across the fields largely similar. The highest potential was generally seen in information systems and knowledge management systems, while the main challenges and user requirements were seen in areas of data and access to data, integration and information sharing, sensor technologies and mobile tools, tools for participation, communication and education. Based on the identifies user requirements a structure was developed, based on the DPSIR framework, in which ICT was seen as a facilitator of the process dimensions, while relevant research questions, involved actor groups and objectives were developed to provide a framework for future discussions towards a common research agenda.

    Social Validation of INSPIRE Annex III Data Structures in EU Habitats
    (Integration of Environmental Information in Europe, 2010) Marsh, Jesse; Maurer, Lisa
    The EU INSPIRE directive lays the foundation of a common infrastructure for spatial information in Europe in order to support policies and activities that have an impact on environment. The HABITATS project implements network services that enable citizens and businesses to identify, access, use and reuse, in an interoperable and seamless way and for a variety of uses, aggregated geographical information covering a significant part of natural and environmental systems and coming from a wide range of sources, from the local to the European level. The involvement of final end users from the outset in the processes of designing and validating the INSPIRE-related standards drives the standards adoption process and guarantees continued upgrading and maintenance of the content represented. The project aims to build a bridge between INSPIRE and real and concrete user communities to introduce a “demandpull” drive to its standardisation processes, allowing to reach these objectives at the appropriate time through the codevelopment of the desired service scenarios.
