  1. Environmental datacentres Current status in Go4 and EEA discussions Stefan Jensen

  2. Go4 acitivities on data centres

  3. Historic ”Political” agreement on DC’s by Go4 based on shared responsibilities (2005) Establishment of a common architecture team (CADT) > prepare an Enterprise architecture report (draft) (2007-08) Reporting on annual DC progress (2007-08) in DIMESA meetings Shaping of DC acitivities as key SEIS actions on EU level amongst Go4 partner (2009)

  4. State of discussion • Different progress on indivdual DCs • MDIAK reflection • Common elements template • ...

  5. EEA activities related to data centres

  6. Building Environmentaldata centres History: • Ongoing, growing data work in thematic areas since the start of EEA • Go4 technical agreement on responsibilities in late 2005 • Participation in Go4 DC architecture group since 2006 • Limited, scattered internal EEA discussion • Launch of first version of water data centre March 2007 • First reporting sheets on DC progress in 2007 • Initial effort to prepare implementation plans 2008 (Land) • Intensified discussion along the June 2008 visit of ESTAT consultants tasked to do a common architecture proposal • Horizontal papers produced by „SEIS team“ • DC team announced in fall 2008 • Formally established early 2009

  7. Data Centre concept –a Go4 technical definition • Environmental data centres are institutionally supported facilities providing convenient access to, manipulation of, and/or distribution of data sets relating to a specific thematic area (including supporting information and expertise) to users. They are intended to have a long lifespan, as they are not tied to a specific project

  8. Data Centre concept –EEA adaptation/refinement • The focus of the Data Centre is on the data handling. All other tasks are defined to lie outside the EDC. A Data Centre at the EEA is a data custodian of European data and data service provider to other EU-organisations, the MS and the general public. It lies within the task to provide a quantitative analysis of the data and provide the data part of the presentation of an indicator or a spatial presentation but not to provide the assessment.

  9. Each data centre shall • Collect, store, maintain, update and make available any kind of data within their thematic area that is necessary for both creating the indicators that have been specified as well as other specified assessments to support EU policies relevant for the European level Actions: • Frame scope by defining indicator/data relationship (thematic groups)

  10. Each data centre shall • Collect, store, maintain, update and make available data based on EU reporting obligations (Directives, Systems, SoE voluntary arrangements) and other agreed tasks within the thematic area Actions: • Define other agreed tasks (thematic groups)

  11. Each data centre shall • Provide a link and set up agreements on storage and/or access to data hosted by other data centres / institutions (“foreign” datasets) and create (?) and maintain these data in order to produce a quantitative analysis of the data for the presentation of all indicators at the European level within the thematic area Actions: • Identify necessary partnerships and set up agreements where needed (DC contacts with SES3/SES1)

  12. Each data centre shall • Work in close contact with data providers at both the national, European and global level • Take an active part in implementing SEIS - the EDC’s are the data custodians for their specified thematic area at the European level • Use a common European spatial data infrastructure based on the implementation rules set out by the INSPIRE directive Actions: • Engage in the INSPIRE process (DC contacts with SES3) (ongoing for water and nature/biodiversity) and derive development needs

  13. Each data centre shall • Follow the work on e-government to ensure interoperability for environmental data within their theme Action: • SES to follow and advise • Follow the development of GMES in order to meet the upcoming in situ data requirements for related services Action: • SES1 to identify (DC contacts with SES1)

  14. Each data centre shall • Be responsible for the QA/QC procedures at the European level and maintain metadata descriptions both for the data and for the indicators as well as data flowcharts for each indicator relevant for the thematic area Action: • SES2 to stepwise organise • Provide and maintain web pages as part of the EEA website and provide links to interoperable web based applications for metadata, discovery, view and download services. Action: • Organise links and services (DC contacts with SES3 and OSE)

  15. Next steps / priority taskstowards DC interoperability • Review/establish implementation plans • Identify/review indicator/data relations per DC (SES2 END lead?) • Identify service developments needs in line with INSPIRE (e.g. metadata related) • Plan common DC web pages (as part of EEA website re-design) • Identify additional QA/QC tasks • Set up roadmap for GMES implementation • Identify and encourage common technical elements

  16. European data centretechnical functions (OSE/SES view) Expert services Applications System-to-system services Data hosting

  17. Revisit common aspects Review of present data centre web presences across Go4 websites DC priority setting Suggested common elements of data centres Boundary discussions / limitations (EEA website integration)

  18. Key ideas from the BISE discussion

  19. Constructing a system Spatial Dimension, INSPIRE & SEIS rules,

  20. Lead roles in MDIAK chain for biodiversity

  21. Things to achieve ... Discussion Biodiversity ”profile” Needed adjustments Thank you!
