- KonferenzbeitrageENVplus: a framework to support eEnvironmental services and applications(Proceedings of the 27th Conference on Environmental Informatics - Informatics for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Development and Risk Management, 2013) Attardo, Carmelo; Saio, GiorgioeENVplus (www.eenvplus.eu) is a ICT-PSP -Pilot A project, started on January 2013. The eENVplus key objective leads to support the implementation of INSPIRE and SEIS, engaging environmental data (many INSPIRE Annex I-II-III Data Themes) managed by the involved national/regional environment agencies and other public and private environmental stakeholders through the integration and harmonisation of existing services. Starting from the results of previous European experiences (funded projects, best practices, EU/national/local experiences) eENVplus integrates existing infrastructures into an operational framework able to overcome cross-border and languages barriers. eENVplus provides not only the ICT infrastructure but also the description and the support how to make this infrastructure operational and profitable through the provision of an organisational model and a tutored training framework. eENVplus interoperable infrastructure provides Members State and Geographic Information Communities with: 1. A comprehensive, open and scalable infrastructure able to integrate existing infrastructures according to the INSPIRE requirements, open standards and interoperable innovative services; 2. A set of innovative added value interoperable web services aiming to facilitate the development of innovative environmental applications; 3. A common Environment Thesaurus Framework, supporting the integration of existing thesauri relevant to the environment via Linked Data and providing added-value services for its integration and exploitation in pilot applications 4. A comprehensive tool-kit for data harmonisation and validation supporting Members States during INSPIRE implementation; 5. A Training Framework to support, with eLearning tools, the development of the necessary capacities and knowledge to keep operational the eENVplus infrastructure. It is intended to implement 9 environmental scenarios in 10 pilots (BE, CZ, EL, FR, HU, IS, IT, PT, SI, SK), in order to offer the actual eENVplus outcomes implementation in a variety of different situations and user needs. The pilots with their scenarios will allow to better streamline the tools available to the project into the main flow of INSPIRE compliance, with evident implications on interoperability among applications, existing or planned.
- KonferenzbeitragNATURE-SDIplus, a Network for SDI in Nature Conservation(Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Saio, Giorgio; Attardo, Carmelo; Hanzlova, MarketaNATURE-SDIplus is a Best Practice Network co-funded by the European Commission under the eContentplus Programme. It aims to improve the harmonization of national datasets on nature conservation and make them more accessible and exploitable. In such a context, it contributes to the INSPIRE Directive implementation with specific reference to a cluster of data themes related to the Nature Conservation, listed in the Annex I (Protected sites) and Annex III (Biogeographical regions, Habitats&Biotopes and Species distribution). The project has accomplished many tasks and their outcomes cover contributions towards INSPIRE development and implementation process. The initial surveys (user needs, data availability and accessibility, datasets analysis), conducted in the first phase of the project, contributed greatly to the development of the NATURE-SDIplus metadata profiles and data models. Subsequently, the remodelling methodology was put forth to support the procedures for the metadata profiles and the data models implementation. To guarantee accessibility and usability of the harmonised data, the specification of the NATURESDIplus Infrastructure (with its core element the NATURE-SDIplus Geoportal) was developed. Finally, the last stage of the project was dedicated to the validation methodology development and application of such procedures. As an umbrella assuring the dissemination and awareness of the collected knowledge, the NATURESDIplus Training Framework for the NATURE-SDIplus Community has been built up. It provides help to the users to understand the problems in nature conservation, together with standards and technology issues. The Training in NATURE-SDIplus is based on e-learning capabilities, and is accessible through a dedicated portal containing information on the covered topics and courses’ metadata. The aim of the workshop contribution is to present and discuss with participating stakeholders and target audience the achieved results from the NATURE-SDIplus project and to support the INSPIRE implementation in the nature conservation domain and the environmental infrastructure.
