C URRENT PROGRESS ON WP3 Challenges Manage Resources complexity Different Disciplines (multi-disciplinarity) Different resource types Data, services, documents, etc. Different platforms traditional GIS, Geospatial information, Web 2.0, Internet of Things, etc. Manage Data complexity Different structural nature Structured, semi-structured, un-structured Different granularities Different semantics

Slide 4

C URRENT PROGRESS ON WP3 Challenges Build on existing systems and infrastructures supplementing but not supplanting their scope and governance rules Be Flexible future systems/ technologies Non-standard resources Interoperability with European and International initiatives (especially GEOSS, INSPIRE, Eye-on-Earth) Lower entry barriers Users Resource Providers Adopt a Brokering approach Assure system sustainability Future technologies Effectiveness Usability etc.

I NSTITUTION /C OMPETENCIES The National Research Council of Italy (CNR) participates in the Citizense project with the Earth and Space Science Informatics Laboratory (ESSI-Lab) of the Institute of Atmospheric Pollution Research (CNR-IIA) CNR is a public organization. Its duty is to carry out, promote, spread, transfer and improve research activities in the main sectors of knowledge growth and of its applications for the scientific, technological, economic and social development. The CNR-IIA primary research activity of the institute is in the field of atmospheric pollution in urban and industrial areas as well as in rural and remote areas including the polar regions. The ESSI-Lab research focuses on the application of information science and technologies to manage, harmonize, and share Earth & Space Science resources. A major research activity concerns multi-disciplinary interoperability for System of Systems (SoS) development. These activities are carried out in the context of: Standardization organizations: ISO, CEN, OGC, International initiatives: GEO/GEOSS, INSPIRE FP7 projects: EGIDA, EuroGEOSS, GeoWOW, UncertWeb, GeoViQua, EarthServer, FI- PPP/ENVIROFI, MEDINA, SeaDataNet2 National projects: GIIDA, Polar Data WG
