The Group on Earth Observation Systems of Systems (GEOSS) is building a data-driven view of our planet that feeds into models and scenarios. The EnviroGRIDS Black Sea Catchment project addresses these issues by bringing several emerging information technologies that are revolutionizing the way we are able to observe our planet. EnviroGRIDS Black Sea Catchment aims at building the capacities of regional stakeholders to use new international standards to gather, store, distribute, analyze, visualize and disseminate crucial information on past, present and future states of the environment, in order to assess its sustainability and vulnerability. The Black Sea Catchment is internationally known as one of ecologically unsustainable development and inadequate resource management, which has led to severe environmental, social and economic prob lems. Coordinator for the project is the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic. The project has received funding from the European Union’s ICT Policy Support Programme as part of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme.
SDI4Apps will secure that users profit from INSPIRE, and that INSPIRE profits from different voluntary initiatives, buy developing a WIN-WIN strategy for building a successful business for hundreds of European SMEs on the basis of INSPIRE, Copernicus and GEOSS. The main target of SDI4Apps is to bridge:ġ) the top-down managed world of INSPIRE, Copernicus and GEOSS built by SDI experts, andĢ) the bottom-up mobile world of voluntary initiatives and thousands of micro SMEs and individuals developing applications (apps) The European SDI (INSPIRE) is based on existing data of member states, focusing on harmonisation and interoperable exchange of spatial data and services. The project draws along the lines of INSPIRE, Copernicus and GEOSS and aspires to build a WIN-WIN strategy for building a successful business for hundreds of SMEs on the basis of European spatial data infrastructures. SDI 4Apps seeks to build a cloud-based framework with open API for data integration focusing on the development of six pilot applications. The project is being implemented with the concerted effort of 18 organizations across Europe. SDI4Apps is an EU-funded project managed by the University of West Bohemia from the Czech Republic.
