SENSE project – towards a next (second) part Stefan Jensen - head - SEIS and SDI group
Remaining work – part 1 • Include agreed fixes (based on discussion) • Support newcomers • Implement a helpdesk for Member Countries • Others ?
SENSE part 2 – technology to be used • Service APIs from EEA to Member Countries and others institutions using RDF and related semantic web technologies • Make use of EEA Content Registry v.3 providing RDF and SPARQL end points http://cr.eionet.europa.eu/ and http://svn.eionet.europa.eu/projects/Reportnet/wiki/CR3Design • There are plenty of examples on how to query the new Content Registry SPARQL endpoint • http://svn.eionet.europa.eu/projects/Reportnet/wiki/SPARQL • There are also some example queries for datasets and indicators • http://svn.eionet.europa.eu/projects/Reportnet/wiki/SPARQL/DataService#EEADataservicequeries • The EEA system (Website and Reportnet) will be extended to provide • the listed functionalities by late 2011
New phase 2 • Specific objectives • To improve the sharing of national and European information through the use of a Linked Data approach for indicator information through a stepwise learning process for both EEA and EIONET. • To establish – in a first step - a process of online indicator reporting from the EEA indicator web site to the national websites. • To establish – in a second step – the same process from the national websites to the EEA. This will then allow to vice versa enriching both the national and the European information base.
Draft project plan • Main deliverables • Technical guidelines XML/RDF SENSE II feed specification • European indicators on the national websites and – in step two - national indicators on websites at other nations • Specifications for maintaining this shared indicator system
Project concept I • The reasons for this follow-up project are: • Previous experiences indicate that further exploring the RDF technology is leading to an increased knowledge at the EEA and in EIONET • To support a proposal / options for indicators that will be used for country benchmarking in SOER 2015 • > Start re-scheduled for later in 2011 ased on manageboard / EIONET meeting decision • To handle the links to the EUROSTAT project “Streamlining of environmental indicators” • > It needs to be identified if and how this is possible
Items covered • To reach a common understanding within both EEA and EIONET on the usage and functions of indicators and move towards a more “shared” system for indicators (not necessarily leading to more common indicators). • > Start re-scheduled for later in 2011 ased on manageboard / EIONET meeting decision • To support – as one of several projects - the demand from the EEA Bureau on a proposal on indicators. • ...
What can we do at this stage related to SENSE part 2 • Collect needs and interest of Member Countries • Identify a group of interesting Member Countries to follow the project • Work on part 2 will start Sep./Oct. 2011
