Objectives1. To combine multiple open data streams to develop innovative
environmental services;
2. To apply Linked Data and Semantic Web approaches to enhance the services and generate new knowledge;
3. To deliver reusable technology that facilitates the exploitation of open data;
4. To ensure that the services are sustainable beyond the lifetime of the project;
5. To demonstrate the value of open data and stimulate the release of more open data by data providers.

Sustainability• Dedicated workpackage looking at
sustainability issues:– Economic/financial– Technical– Legal
• Examines changes in the Open Data landscape
• Examines potential of services to expand beyond initial geographic boundaries
• Provides evidence-based recommendations back to policymakers regarding open data policies

Conclusions• Project aims to demonstrate that releasing data openly
leads to strong commercial and scientific exploitation
• A key challenge is to combine diverse sources of Open Data– Earth Observation– Modelling and forecasting– Socioeconomic/government data
• We have only just started – please keep in touch!
