Objectives: • “… to foster the emergence of a European info-structure and

service platforms which will facilitate the use of interoperable components and sub-systems …”

• “… provision of ICT-based in situ monitoring infrastructure and services … self-organising, self-healing, ad hoc networking of sensors …”

Focus• “… ICT aspects that are relevant to the monitoring, the

preparation and the response phases of environmental risk/crisis management co-ordinated at European level…”

• Information resources are heterogeneous

• Incompatible information systems, no common open architecture

• Existing information is hard to access;Cross-system search remains problematic

• Existing information is hard to integrate; Cross-use of information is not happening at the right level

• Multi-linguality and multi-terminology

Towards an integrated and dynamic information space for the environment in Europe

Sensor Web Concept (OpenGIS® White Paper)

ICT for Environmental ManagementVision2

Towards a dynamic management of heterogeneous sensor networks for full situation awareness

ICT approach

• Validation into large scale pilot tests with end users

• Focus on generic solutions to pan-European environmental issues• Multi-organisational, cross-boundary

• Based on a net of interoperable nodes able to interact• Focus on existing systems, making them interoperable

and filling the gaps• Ensuring modularity (expandable, adaptable infrastructures)• With security measures to increase trust and avoid misuse

• Through the exploitation of current/emerging ICT and geospatial standards (W3C, OGC, ISO, ...)

• promotion of open-source, re-usable software components • Full consideration of the ontology, semantic and multilingual issues

(WISECOM, CHORIST)• Making best use of existing

infrastructure• IPv6 federating network, QoS

(U2010)• Public Safety Communication

Forum (NARTUS)

System of systems, services

• Reference model architecture, ontologies, semantic web approach (ORCHESTRA)

• Cooperation services, EO support multi-linguality, workflow (WIN)

• Command C & C (OASIS) • Rapid Mapping (INTAMAP)

Through our projects:• AR-07-01 Strategic and tactical guidance documents on how

to converge disparate systems to a higher degree of collaboration and interoperability AR-07-01 Architectural oversight, long term evolution

• Clustering workshop in Frascati (IT), 7 April« Service Oriented Architectures in support of a shared Environmental information space »

• IEEE GEOSS Workshop, Honolulu, Hawaii (USA), 15 April

• DA-06-04 Development, availability and harmonisation of data, metadata and products commonly required across diverse SBAs

• DA-07-04 Development of scenarios or use cases that demonstrate the value of Sensor Webs to the GEOSS SBAs (DA-07-04)
