NATURE-SDIplus Infrastructure

Outline NATURE-SDIplus needs NATURE-SDIplus Infrastructure architecture Integration of nteroperable tools Nature-SDIplus is a Best Practice Network co-funded by the European Commission under the eContentplus Programm. It is aimed at harmonising EU national datasets on nature conservation. Nature- SDIplus contributes to the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive with targeted reference to the following cluster of data themes of the INSPIRE Annexes: Protected sites (Annex I), Biogeographical regions (Annex III), Habitats and biotopes (Annex III), Species distribution (Annex III). 2

Nature-SDIplus needs DP harmonize the available data according to the shared common data model DP publish metadata and related services on local/national/central catalogue User send a request to National/NATURE- SDIplus catalogue by defining an area or specifying a text The text request could be in a defined selected set of languages (English mandatory) Answer: list of recovered resources (data/services MD) Get info about recovered resources (MD details and extent) Mapping the recovered data Thin client capabilities Smart client capabilities Mapping Usability rules Visibility scales Simple generalilised layers Advanced views (3D) Adding additional layers (services) coming from others services providers Sample download service (IPR constraints) 3

Framework Requirements Modularity : new KOS may be added as a new module plugged in the set of thesauri in the NatureSDIplus solution. Openness : Each KOS should be easily extendable keeping separated the original one. Interlinking: Interlinking among the terms referring to the same concepts in more then one thesaurus in order to harmonize their usage. Exploitability encoding in a standard and flexible format in order to encourage the adoption and its enrichment from third party system
