Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Frontier environmental research increasingly depends on a wide range of data and advanced capabilities to process and analyse them. The ENVRI project, “Common Operations of Environmental Research infrastructures” is a collaboration in the ESFRI Environment Cluster, with support from ICT experts, to develop common e-science components and services for their facilities. The results will speed up the construction of these infrastructures and will allow scientists to use the data and software from each facility to enable multi-disciplinary science. The target is on developing common capabilities including software and services of the environmental and e-infrastructure communities. While the ENVRI infrastructures are very diverse, they face common challenges including data capture from distributed sensors, metadata standardisation, management of high volume data, workflow execution and data visualisation. The common standards, deployable services and tools developed will be adopted by each infrastructure as it progresses through its construction phase. Two use cases, led by the most mature infrastructures, will focus the development work on separate requirements and solutions for data pre-processing of primary data and post-processing toward publishing. The project will be based on a common reference model created by capturing the semantic resources of each ESFRI-ENV infrastructure. This model and the development driven by the testbed deployments result in ready-to-use systems which can be integrated into the environmental research infrastructures. The project puts emphasis on synergy between advanced developments, not only among the infrastructure facilities, but also with ICT providers and related e-science initiatives. These links will facilitate system deployment and the training of future researchers, and ensure that the inter-disciplinary capabilities established here remain sustainable beyond the lifetime of the project.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
An EU initiative helped developing solutions for common operations of European environmental research infrastructures and built common services for data mining and data processing.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Understanding our natural environment requires data from all over our planet that comes from a network of interdependent sources and is seldom standardised or processed in the same way. An information and communications technology (ICT)-based infrastructure for environmental scientists incorporating data, models and software would help to improve and streamline their research.
The EU-funded http://www.envri.eu/ (ENVRI) (Common operations of environmental research infrastructures) project set out to develop targeted common infrastructure tools. They are intended for use by the cluster of the environmental research infrastructure projects identified in the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap.
Project members assessed and analysed the state of the art in ICT and common requirements for ESFRI environmental infrastructures. A reference model with a common definition of standards and infrastructure processes was developed for greater interoperability between the various infrastructure resources.
The team further developed a series of software tools that enable Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) network users to locate and access data available in the ESFRI cluster set up by ENVRI. These tools also allow data exchange between GEOSS and ESFRI infrastructures.
To implement common approaches for the tools' use, a knowledge transfer and training strategy targeting environmental infrastructure communities was finalised. Meetings, workshops and conferences helped demonstrate how these tools and services can support infrastructure users. Videos introduced the reference model.
The project intensified community building and cooperation of the environmental research infrastructures within and beyond the ESFRI area. ESFRI infrastructure projects now consider cooperation as key to providing advanced support for world-class research in GEOSS. This was demonstrated at the final project event that gathered developers and operators of the concerned ESFRI environmental infrastructures. The aim was to disseminate project outcomes to infrastructure communities and examine recommendations for the future collaboration of ENVRI infrastructures. A set of key strategy and sustainability documents addressed this continued strategic collaboration.
ENVRI brought environmental infrastructures together to deliver effective solutions for improving their operational performance and laying down a framework to encourage future interoperability in interdisciplinary research.
