    Environmental impact assessment of electricity production by photovoltaic system using GEOSS recommendations on interoperability
    (Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Menard, Lionel; Gschwind, Benoît; Blanc, Isabelle; Beloin-Saint-Pierre, Didier; Wald, Lucien; Blanc, Philippe; Ranchin, Thierry; Hischier, Roland; Gianfranceschi, Simone; Smolders, Steven; Gilles, Marc; Grassin, Cyril
    Within the Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP-3) of GEOSS, we have developed a scenario called “environmental impact assessment of the production, transportation and use of energy for the photovoltaic (PV) sector through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)”. It aims at providing decision-makers and policy-planners with reliable and geo-localized knowledge of several impacts induced by various technologies of the PV sector. The scenario is implemented in the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) and benefits from the GEOSS interoperability arrangements. The FP7-co-funded EnerGEO project provides a GEOSS compliant Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) that permits to discover the Web Processing Service (WPS) allowing computation of the environmental impact. A WebGIS client provided by the FP7-co-funded GENESIS platform allows users to interact with geospatial data and computation processes. This scenario has proven to be an efficient tool to disseminate knowledge on environmental impacts related to PV because of the GEOSS capabilities in interoperability.

    Processing on Demand of EO value-added vegetation products
    (Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Goor, Erwin; Daems, Dirk; Van den Heuvel, Lieve; Smolders, Steven
    VITO is responsible for the production, archiving and dissemination of products from the SPOT-VEGETATION mission and also serves many derived vegetation products from this sensor, complementary sensors and higher resolution sensors. To facilitate the dissemination, VITO deploys a web based data access portal and standardized web services which allow authorized users and the general public to discover, view, download and order available products, possibly customized towards their needs. The next step is to deploy processing on demand services via a web based portal and WPS interfaces. This will allow the user to generate tailored data and retrieve information based on the extensive data archive at VITO on-the-fly. This paper describes the current status and future steps with regard to processing on demand services at VITO.
