Distributed measurements and monitoring
• observatories, sensors, radars, human eyes . . .
• physical, chemical and biological parameters
Laboratories and experimental facilities
• in fixed monitoring stations
• on research vehicles, ships, floats and buoys
• from aircraft and satellites
A variety of data
• complex and sometimes fuzzy
• heterogeneous and distributed
• primary and processed data
Analytical and modeling platforms
• data exchange and integration
• high performance computing and Grid services
• e-Laboratories

Objectives
Solutions and guidelines for the common needs of the
environmental ESFRI projects.
Enable multidisciplinary scientists to access, study and correlate
data from multiple domains for “system level” research.

Generic Requirements
Common procedures for individual users to cooperate in Virtual
Organisations, while working from different countries
Personalized access rights for not NGI/institution-based users.
(Many users in env. sciences are not NGI connected)
Data infrastructure and management, across domain specific
ESFRI projects
Project number: 283465
Operation and usability
Management of complex data records (fuzzy data, data
calibration, data validation, data transformation, data fusion,
privacy issues)
Fast access to and retrieval of selected distributed and large
heterogeneous data sets and tools
Remote operation of smart/intelligent observation/sensor
networks
Development of real-time instrument (i.e. aircraft/ground,
oceanic floats & fixed observatories/ground) data links
Project number: 283465
Services for
environmental facilities
Repositories for data, workflows, and workflow results;
repository for tracking provenance and citation of data and
workflows
Software libraries for supporting capabilities (data format
conversions, pre-processing, data transformation, data post
processing
Interoperability (of heterogeneous data and tools), semantic
interoperability services, retrieval of ontologies
Super fast analysis and modeling services; (distributed)
computation
Project number: 283465
Application development and
community development
Capabilities for user involvement in open-source data
generation + software development (workbenches)
Facilitating workflow development
Ability to view, visualize, explore discovered data and software
resources, with reporting of usability and interoperability (and
improvement suggestions
