requirements of the DSPs and the GMES concept)

–
Multi-source data sharing, but going beyond ‘data’
Provide change & trends maps on several scales (added value LC)
Interdisciplinary approaches that guide the analysis
Facilitating trans-SBA applications by high-level (i.e. integrated)
indicators
Building on existing info exchange practices, information conditioning
Handbooks and training material based on (subsets) of real
data/products
Provide/share intelligence how to arrive from raw data to products &
services – to stimulate both research and market
Improve generic workflows obeying data/product quality standards
and semantic (etc.) interoperability
Validated services including user validation

• Particular practical contributions I
– Integrated image analysis and modelling systems ( EO
Data for Habitat Monitoring system EODHaM)
supporting automatic provision of habitat maps and
biodiversity indicators and assessment and to predict
trends in biodiversity.
– RS_IUS operational automatic high spatial resolution
pre-processing and understanding techniques for land
cover (LC) map and LC change (LCC) map generation
eligible for use in biodiversity monitoring

• Particular practical contributions II
– Integrated multi-scale service: Service chains formed by
‘trans-level’ applications within a biogegraphic region,
and including the EU level.
– MONINA SDI: operational interface covering web-based
portal, standardised network services & metadata, and
offering services for discovery (metadata & catalogue),
viewing, access for all output products from the project,
in line with the INSPIRE directive, harmonised amongst
the different partners, from one unique access point
– interoperable data integration (horizontal, vertical) and
methodical assessment framework (regulation system)

• Two integration strategies
– MS.MONINA ‘state integrator’ (pivotal mechanism,
member states have core responsibilities)
– Hierarchical service chain
Selected vertical components
(e.g. EU  MS E  sites b, c)
are building a service chain.
Service chains are formed by
‘trans-level’ applications within
BGR, and including the EU level.
