  1. A rhetorical approach to environmental information sharing Dr. Andrew Woolf,Bureau of Meteorology

  2. I Keep six honest serving-men: (They taught me all I knew) Their names are What and Where and When And How and Why and Who. Rudyard Kipling, The Elephant’s Child (Just So Stories, 1902)

  3. Faceted search

  4. Faceted (environmental) search

  5. Systems for facet analysis Taylor (1992): Introduction to Cataloging and Classification, Englewood (CO), Libraries Unlimited. “clearly defined, mutually exclusive, and collectively exhaustive aspects, properties, or characteristics of a class or specific subject” Spiteri (1998): A Simplified Model for Facet Analysis, Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science, 23, p1-30.

  6. Systems for facet analysis “Circulation of periodicals in University Libraries in India up to the 1970s” 2,34;46:6.44‘N7 Ranganathan (1963): Colon Classification, 6th Ed, Madras Library Association (422p). ,Personality ;Matter-or-Property :Energy .Space ‘Time (PMEST) Up to the 1970s University Libraries Circulation Periodicals India 2 ,34 ;46 :6 .44 ‘N7

  7. Systems for facet analysis Ranganathan’s PMEST (according to commentators) Hermagoras of Temnos (1st century BC). ‘Seven circumstances’ as loci of any hypothetical question:

  8. ‘Five Ws’ as facets for environmental information?

  9. Faceted (environmental) search

  10. Australian Bureau of Meteorology

  11. National Plan forEnvironmental Information Empowering Australians to discover, access and use environmental information for informed decision-making… National Environmental Information Infrastructure (NEII)

  12. Foundation: spatial data infrastructure

  13. Supplement with: ‘Five Ws’ forenvironmental information “indicators for national SoE reporting” “Department of Environment” “PM10 particulate concentration” “January 2007 – October 2012” “within the Sydney Basin” “nephelometer” ‘Observations and Measurements’: An Observation event measures a property of/on a feature-of-interest using a procedure and generating a result WHEN WHAT WHERE HOW

  14. Information viewpoint (1/2) 1. Monitoring sites / networks 4. Geographies 3. Observations 5. Gridded data 2. Observing methods

  15. Information viewpoint (2/2) 7. Information models 6. Species taxonomies 8. Dataset/service metadata 9. Parameters / observables

  16. Engineering viewpoint (1/3) environmental parameters metadata WHO WHEN WHY WHAT 2. Vocabulary Service 1. Catalogue

  17. Engineering viewpoint (2/3) monitoring sites / networks instruments, protocols, etc. HOW WHERE 4. Observing Methods Register 3. Monitoring Sites Register

  18. Engineering viewpoint (3/3) geography observations 5. Environmental Information Services

  19. Computational viewpoint

  20. Technology viewpoint

  21. ‘O&M broker’ view ‘client tier’ ‘O&M broker tier’’ NEII services sites parameters obs methods ‘provider tier’
