EUGENE Project http://www.eugene-fp7.eu
Status quo analysis – main findings • European strengths in Earth observation • - Earth observation technology/systems & expertise • e.g. operational hydrological networks; data archives; satellite missions that deliver hydrological & meteorological data; WFD; • - Programmatic frameworks • e.g. GMES, INSPIRE, EU Framework Programme, capacity building programmes (focus on Africa); • - International cooperation • e.g. Europe supports implementation of key international frameworks such as GCOS/GTOS, IHP and HWRP; EU Member States host international data centres (GRDC, GPCC, IGRAC) ; support to GEO/GEOSS (!) • Main challenges for Water SBA • - Fragmentation of the Water sector in Europe & lack of coordination of EU contributions towards GEO/GEOSS • - Obstacles on data sharing, especially concerning in-situ data
Strategic recommendations for action • Foster the exchange of hydrological data, with a focus on in-situ observations. • - Technological issues and restrictive, complex data policies pose a major obstacle for the exchange of hydrological data; • - INSPIRE, GMES, WISE (Water Information System for Europe) are major European frameworks for (hydrological) data exchange; • Actions: • - Support the development of standards for the exchange of hydrological data, e.g. in the framework of the OGC Domain Working Group Hydrology; • - Work towards compatibility of INSPIRE and the GEOSS Data Sharing Principles; • - Enable direct access to the European Water databases by registering services and standards in the GEOSS Common Infrastructure; • - Facilitate the implementation of GEOSS Data Sharing Principles in European Member States;
