    ENV-e-CITY Environmentally Viable Electronic City
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Moussiopoulos, Nicolas; Bøhler, Trond; Fedra, Kurt; Friedrich, Rainer; Karatzas, Kostas; Karppinen, Ari; Kraggerud, Per Haavard; Kukkonen, Jaakko; Larssen, Steinar; de Leeuw, Frank; Lohmeyer, Achim; Peinel, Gertraud; Pulles, Tinus; Reis, Stefan; Rose, Thomas; van der Hout, Dick
    The objective of project ENV-e-CITY is to develop an on-line application for environmental information related services. The e-content domain extends over four application areas: air emission, air quality, topography and meteorology. The application framework to be developed includes metadata structures for all application areas, export and import filters, interfaces and various e-content basic services. The user community of the platform envisaged consists of city authorities, consultants involved in environmental impact assessment studies and citizens desiring valid information on the state of the environment. An electronic market place for the e-content itself and the services is also envisaged.

    Environmental Services and Data Brokerage Portal: ENV-e-CITY in Action
    (The Information Society and Enlargement of the European Union, 2003) Moussiopoulos, Nicolas; Karatzas, Kostas; Endregard, Geir; Fedra, Kurt; Friedrich, Rainer; Johansen, Per Henrik; Kalognomou, Liana; Karppinen, Ari; Kraggerud, Per Haavard; Kukkonen, Jaakko; Larssen, Steinar; de Leeuw, Frank; Lohmeyer, Achim; Naneris, Chris; Nicklass, Daniel; Papaioannou, Giannis; Peinel, Gertraud; Pulles, Tinus; Reis, Stefan; Rose, Thomas; Sedlmayr, Martin; van den Hout, Dick
    ENV-e-CITY is a European Commission supported e-content project that aims to develop an internet-based service for environmental information related applications. The motivation of this project lies in the need of European cities to perform assessments for complying with the EU environmental legislation, as well as the requirement for efficient environmental impact assessments. The e-content domain considered extends over four environmental application areas: air emission, air quality, topography, and meteorology. The application framework includes meta-data structures for these domains, export and import filters, interfaces and typical e-content services. The user community of the platform envisaged consists of city authorities, consultants involved in environmental impact assessment studies as well as citizens desiring valid information on the state of the atmospheric environment. An initial set of electronic information services is currently under development and will be demonstrated on the basis of the various user categories.

    Making Air Quality Assessments with AIRBASE
    (Informatics for Environmental Protection - Networking Environmental Information, 2005) Mol, Wim; de Leeuw, Frank
    The European Topic Centre for Air and Climate Change (ETC/ACC2) has developed AIRBASE, a database containing European-wide information on air quality monitoring stations and data. Air quality data for the 31 member countries of the European Environmental Agency (EEA) is collected under the Council Decision 97/101/EC (Exchange of Information). AIRBASE contains data for more than 40 pollutants at about 4300 stations over a period of more than 10 years. Besides the AIRBASE database, the AIRBASE information system consists of a Data Exchange Module which facilitates the exchange of information between the supplying countries and AIRBASE and an interactive graphical web-application AIRVIEW3 to provide an easy access to the data both for the general public as well as for the professional user. Last year AIRVIEW 3.1 is released. Some interesting new features of AIRVIEW will be presented. There are also XML-dumps available of AIRBASE. The national data suppliers are responsible for the quality of the data. Nevertheless, quality checks have been performed at the incoming data. AIRBASE has been used in a number of air quality assessments, both for the European Commission as well as for the EEA. Selected results - e.g. changing chemical composition - will be presented.
