  2. Domingo Jiménez-Beltrán Executive Director, EEA The EEA's Mission ... is to delivertimely, targeted, relevant and reliableinformation to policy-makers and the public for the development andimplementation of sound environmental policies in the European Unionand other EEA member countries. http://www.eea.eu.int/

  3. EIONET - The Network EIONET is the main vehicle of the European Environment Agency to collect data, information and knowledge for the process of reporting on the state of environment. The core network connects more than 500 institutions in the 18 EEA member countries. Each country operates a co-ordinating institute (National Focal Point - NFP) and nine expertise centres (National Reference Centres - NRCs).

  4. EIONET - The Network EEA: the central node. ETCs: multi-national consortia, contracted by EEA to execute tasks of EEA's work programme. ETCs work as an extension of the Agency and are responsible for data collection in their topic area. NFPs: are appointed and funded by member countries and responsible for coordination of national activities related to the EEA work programme. NRCs:institutions with expertise in areas corresponding to ETC areas. Collectors and providers of national environmental data. Contact Information is a (the) central requirement/asset

  9. CIRCLE Library Service

  10. Customised library attributes Customised CIRCLE Library Meta Data Default library attributes

  11. EIONET Meta Data Standard • Global Environmental Locator System Element Set (GELOS) • adopted from G7 working group on environmental metadata in late 1996 • based on GILS • DC compliant • focus on both, discovery and description • contains qualifiers for contact information • however, datamodel and applications consider actors as individual resources • XML as exchange format

  12. Multilingual Aspects General Multilingual Environmental Thesaurus consists of ~5200 terms translated into 15 european languages polyhierarchical includes synonyms ‘sorted’ by environmental themes used for indexing and discovery ISO 639-2 for language coding

  13. Searching and Indexing with GEMET

  14. Contact Information • Name Name of Institution or Person • Type Person, Organisation • Contact Postal Address, electronic address • Original Identifier Database ID • Terminology controlled vocabulary, uncontrolled voc. • Description • Relation to other contact(s), to resources • Date Date of Creation, last modification

  15. Geographical Information • NUTS Code V7 • ISO 3166 • Lambert - Azimuthal projection for bounding box

  16. Searching records through maps

  17. Need for environmental domain? The environmental community is a cuts across almost every domain: Administration Legislation Geographical Information Science (Geology, Chemistry, Physics, Biology .....) Harmonisation efforts are basically hopeless, unless built on existing initiatives like DC Construct environmental schema/application that builds on existing namespaces
