2 Objectives to identify a limited number of datasets for input to the EFIS to prepare metadata records for Internet-, PC based datasets to provide and prepare actual sample datasets available through the EFIS system

European Forest Institute3 Methodology Metadata Based on Dublin Core (DC) metadata elements Use of keyword lists from WP2 (when available) Adding/importing metadata EFIS Resource Discovery component (also to GFIS?) Data sets Preparation of data according to given guidelines for linkage to EFIS

European Forest Institute10 Data processing and visualisation - some results

European Forest Institute11 NEFIS test data sets Description of test data required Accessibility of data through Internet browser Corresponding map is needed Linkage to EFIS visualisation tookit we will hear about this later in the day from all participating data providers

European Forest Institute12 Deliverables and milestones Deliverables D6: Metadata record for each provided dataset D7: Readily prepared sample datasets Milestones Meeting for data provider group (12) Comprehensive set of metadata records for various types of forest data (Month 18) Prepared sample datasets from NEFIS partners (Month 21)

European Forest Institute13 Outcomes of this meeting Clarification of tasks and deliverables of the partners in WP4 Familiarising with the preparation of metadata and the EFIS VTK Linkages of WP4 activities to other WP’s Setting time schedule for achieving WP 4 tasks Discussion on EFIS, GFIS and NEFIS (including a teleconfernce with members of the GFIS SC on )
