3. 3 www.d4science.eu 18 January 2008, Gottingen (Germany) “The project will deploy, progressively consolidate and expand the e- Infrastructures built so far by the EGEE and DILIGENT projects so that they address the needs of several new scientific communities affiliated with the broad disciplines of Environmental Monitoring and Fishery Resources Management” Objective

4. 4 www.d4science.eu D4Science Infrastructure Production e-infrastructure that will offer facilities for sharing resources and for easily setting up and maintaining Virtual Research Environments Resources will include  shared computation, storage, and generic service resources offered by EGEE and DILIGENT  data and domain-specific service resources offered by large international organizations, e.g. European Space Agency (ESA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research (CGIAR) 18 January 2008, Gottingen (Germany)

5. 5 www.d4science.eu Virtual Research Environments Collaboration environments for supporting the community activities Created on-demand through appropriate administration user interfaces Consisting of:  multiple heterogenous collections of data (e.g. textual reports, maps, sensor data, statistical data)  applications for retrieving, accessing and processing data, and for producing new knowledge which is published and made available to others  processing and storage resources 18 January 2008, Gottingen (Germany)

6. 6 www.d4science.eu 18 January 2008, Gottingen (Germany) Environmental Monitoring Community Researchers and stakeholders operating over a widespread geographic scale to provide political and technological solutions to global environmental issues (e.g., marine environment, forest ecosystem, air quality) Requirements Secure Virtual Research Environments where access to huge amount of information, both products or different kinds of reports, added-value applications and services, definition of workflows and on-demand processing of data are all seamless tasks Project partner representing the community European Space Agency

7. 7 www.d4science.eu 18 January 2008, Gottingen (Germany) Fishery Resources Management Community Worldwide spread researchers and decision-makers from many disciplines (biologists, climatologists, GIS experts, socio-economists, fishery managers, etc.) operating to facilitate and secure the long term sustainable development and utilization of the world’s fisheries and aquaculture Requirements VREs, encompassing many resources on aquatic biodiversity and socio-economics, offering to the communities tools for collaboration on shared fishery assessments in a continual way, instead of sporadically as at present Partners representing the community - Fishery Department of FAO - WorldFish Center

8. 8 www.d4science.eu Across–community experimentation The two communities  have differences but also commonalities  already attempt to share data and tools 18 January 2008, Gottingen (Germany)
