The project integrates existing reference results and initiatives to contribute to the design, the development, and the validation of a scalable solution contributing to the future Single Information Space for Environment and risk management in Europe (SISEE), Information space where environmental institutions and services providers, irrespective of size or location, can do business or simply collaborate with no technical restraints. The solution proposed by WIN is based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the strong advantage of this kind of architecture is to allow to build information systems enabling the creation of applications by combining loosely coupled and interoperable services without the knowledge of the underlying systems. A maximal interoperability is guaranteed by WIN compliance with main current and emerging standards. The solution includes a set of generic services, standard data modelling components which facilitate the deployment on various thematic cases. The project has successfully passed the second annual review, focused on the service oriented architecture. The last year of WIN project will be focused on validation, experimentation, evaluation and preparation of the deployment of the solution, in several thematic.Text/Conference Paper
