| Zusammenfassung |
| A truly global approach is needed to fully exploit existing and upcoming environmental
observing systems. Within the individual domains of environmental research standards for the
exchange of data and information are emerging. However, there is still a lack of
harmonization across the disciplines and across nations. The scientific community is well
aware of that but a promising concept on how to solve relevant issues has not been set in
place. It is partially related to differing architecture and technologies that are well fitted for
the domain specific requirements but that are not easily transferrable to other domain.
However, mostly it is related to diverging data policies.
The three-year joint European-US COOPEUS project has been set in place to
address these issues and build a sustainable framework for future cooperation in this
field.
Besides fostering the links between the research communities across the Atlantic it is
planned to define user scenarios to explore the state of the art in the individual disciplines and
ignite cooperation across domains.
Some of the concepts that will be under scrutiny within the course of the COOPEUS
project have also been considered within GEOSS, like for instance the data brokering
approach. COOPEUS will build upon these experiences to make in the next step in
integration existing and upcoming data information services.
First results coming from project workshops are addressing the establishment of common,
centralized services like registries and persistent identifiers across five geosciences
domains: space weather, carbon observation, biodiversity, ocean observations and solid
Earth dynamics. These services and agreements are forming the basis for improved
data exchange based on and requirements of the user communities. To test these
concepts as part of the user scenarios will be essential for the project progress. |
