ENVEurope - Environmental quality and pressures assessment across Europe: the LTER network as an integrated and shared system for ecosystem monitoring |
| Acronym
|
ENVEurope |
| Details |

Mission and Objectives
| The EnvEurope project aims to:
1. Select and provide data, information and ecological indicators concerning the long-term quality trends of terrestrial, marine, freshwater ecosystems at European scale, inside the monitoring network E-LTER (European Long Term Ecosystem Research network)
2. Select and collect data able to provide information on environmental quality and drivers in respect of indicators and methodologies shared and applied in the main European networks (LTER Europe, EIONET, EU Forest Focus & ICPs of UNECE/CLRTAP/WGE, Natura2000, etc.).
3. Reorganise the E-LTER network on the basis of suitable sites, reflecting ecological, political and economic stratification of Europe. The reorganisation will contribute to the development of SEIS and GMES initiatives.

| Main Activities
|
The main activities related to the SDI problematic are Data/Metadata management and System Architecture within the A1 action of the project.
Particular issues that should be taken into consideration are:
1. Metadata models - existing, community MD model proposals and development (based on existing and domain experts suggestions), Prepare procedures for possibility of future MD serving to the European SDI (INSPIRE MD model) as well to the Global SDI (GEOSS)
2. Data models - collection of examples for existing data, community specific data model proposals and development (Generic data model), Mapping to INSPIRE data models,
3. System architecture - the state of the art within domain - already developed, still developing or proposed and being developed similar architectures (INSPIRE, GMES GEOSS, SEIS); Services for discovery and use - view, download (access); Community portal application proposals and development
