  1. The Electronic Geophysical Year In Europe Sample Case Studies M. Messerotti messerotti@oats.inaf.it eGY Coordinator for Europe and Chair of the Italian eGY Committe M. Messerotti EC/ICT for the Environment, Components and Systems Directorate Bruxelles, 14.09.2006

  2. Networkingof Scientific Communitiesvia Data Management Infrastructures The Italian Solar-Terrestrial Physics Community M. Messerotti EC/ICT for the Environment, Components and Systems Directorate-eGY Meeting Bruxelles 14 September 2006

  3. Role Facilitate, inform, stimulate, encourage, and promote: • Modern data access and services (“e-Science for Geoscience”) • Responsible data stewardship • Cooperation among bodies/initiatives to reduce duplication and proliferation of standards, and share expertise • Establishment of virtual observatories throughout the geosciences • Establishment of criteria to determine optimal and minimum funding for data activities supporting research eGY also serves to provide a link between programs with related data and information requirements - IPY, IHY, Planet Earth, and initiatives such as GEOSS*. * Global Earth Observation System of Systems (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) M.

  5. SWITNETThe Space Weather ITalian NETwork SWITNET is not just a network of instruments that operate in coordinated mode, i.e., a service, but it is • A network of instruments (SINERGIES) AND • A network of shared scientific expertise in S, S-T, T physics AND (when completed) • An advanced data handling system with processing and knowledge discovery capabilities (IVOSEC) M.

  11. IVOSEC Expected Features • Based on SOLARNET as core architecture • Can include S, S-T, T data bases • Can handle real-time data ingestion and retrieval • Is operable via an advanced web GUI for complex queries in user-trasparent mode • Has capabilities for distributed processing for data visualization and analysis (V-Grid) • Is compliant with VO standards M. Messerotti SWWT Meeting, 29 June 2006, Paris

  12. Space Weather as Driver of Data Homogeneization • Inhomogeneous and fragmented character of available observations CAUSES Difficulties in carrying out a posteriori modelling of complex phenomena • These limitations are intrinsic to data acquisition mode HENCE Even advanced data search by Grid architectures cannot overcome M. Messerotti EC/ICT for the Environment, Components and Systems Directorate-eGY Meeting Bruxelles 14 September 2006COST Action 724 Athens, 29-30 January 2004 M. Messerotti, INAF-OATs & UNI-TS

  13. DRAWBACKS OF DATA INADEQUACY • The outcomes are: • Inadequate modelling • Limited to a subset of phenomenological and physical aspects • Often neglects the complex interplays among different processes M. Messerotti EC/ICT for the Environment, Components and Systems Directorate-eGY Meeting Bruxelles 14 September 2006COST Action 724 Athens, 29-30 January 2004 M. Messerotti, INAF-OATs & UNI-TS
