2. EIONET / DG SOER Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development November 2006 Water Directorate Data management Multiple data producers (12 competent authorities, 6 water agencies, 4 specialised institutes, 150 laboratories,... ) Multiple data bases Common uses -> needs for interoperability reliability comparability sustainability Solved by a common reference framework (« Sandre » framework)

3. EIONET / DG SOER Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development November 2006 Water Directorate Common reference framework Extensive data dictionaries and data models Reference datasets Data exchange formats: EDI frames then XML Metadata: business md, then regular ISO 19115 Data services: for reference datasets (web services: SOAP, REST) and monitoring results (2007) See www.sandre.eaufrance.frwww.sandre.eaufrance.fr

6. EIONET / DG SOER Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development November 2006 Water Directorate Reference dataset What substance does CAS number 15972-60-8 refer to ? Binding tables: international level: ISO, ESTAT, CAS,... national level: Sandre,... For : RBD, waterbodies, monitoring stations, UWWTP,...

7. EIONET / DG SOER Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development November 2006 Water Directorate Data model From discursive to formal level: conceptual diagram (or UML class diagram) does not capture everything then XML schema for exchange scenario syntactic interoperability (or human aided machine interoperability: allows for a common data repository) then Web services (with XML payload)
