Connecting Research Infrastructures in the

Environmental Field Across the Atlantic


COOPEUS Background

Duration: 09/2012 – 08/2015

European Commission - FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES NSF SAVI

SCOPE: Expand the transatlantic cooperation in regards to common data policies and data standards relevant to global research infrastructures in the environment fieldMore information on www.coopeus.eu


COOPEUS aims to catalyze international collaboration among environmental research infrastructures:

• By easing data discovery and access through harmonization of data policies

• By promoting interoperability of Research Infrastructures on all levels (System, syntactic, structural and semantic interoperability)

• By improving data and information quality by defining the minimum requirements on work-flow descriptions and on QA/QC

COOPEUS Goals


1) Investigating commonalities and difference in the data policies to formulate minimum requirements for policy harmonization.

2) Interoperability of RIs will be investigated using User scenarios simulating RI collaborations monitoring an environmental hazards/event (e.g. Tsunami detection)

3) Highlight topics essential RI collaboration and interoperability to a broader audience at Conferences, Workshops and Meetings (e.g. PID-workshop, GEOSS Workshop, RI- harmonization workshop)

COOPEUS Partners

Involved environmental research infrastructures from EU and US:

Eiscat (EU) – AMISR, SRI (US) Space Weather

EMSO (EU) – OOI (US) Ocean observations

Lifewatch (EU) - DataOne, NEON (US) Biodiversity

EPOS (EU) – IRIS/UNAVCO (US) Solid Earth dynamics

ICOS (EU) – NEON(US) Carbon observations


COOPEUS make use of and collaborates with existing organizations/communities with a global vision for data distribution and availability such as ICSU-WDS and GEOSS

COOPEUS collaborate with parallel running RI-integration projects such as EarthCUBE, ENVRI, iCORDI or ODIP.

COOPEUS – links to other initiatives


Link to GEOSSThe GEOSS Components and Services Registry provides a formal listing and description of all the Earth observation systems, data sets, models and other services. The components and services listed on the Registry can be searched and explored.

COOPEUS is based on a bottom-up approach - We build on existing mature infrastructures with experience in data collection, curation and distribution

What does it take to integrate the services of the RIs involved in COOPEUS?

COOPEUS – Hands on experience in integrating RIs

Example: An application that integrates data between event data centers and observing stations across the globe including COOPEUS partners EarthScope and EPOS
