NESIS : a network to enhance an European environmental shared and interoperable information system
Saio, Giorgio et al.
In the framework of SEIS, the NESIS Network aims to promote the uptake of ICT solutions to address the basic problems faced by public authorities in providing information related to monitoring and reporting environmental impacts and threats. The Network targets to leverage the stakeholderss community, starting from the EIONET network and its experience to develop a widely agreed action plan for SEIS as a distributed, standards-based infrastructure for spatial and non-spatial environmental information, based on the principles of shared access rather than centralized reporting. NESIS analyses the current State of Play of environmental information systems and services in Europe and collects Good Practices, to finally derive and discuss an ICT roadmap for SEIS implementation. The work plan is organised along two years and a half: collection and analysis of practices on environmental information management, definition of an ICT roadmap for SEIS implementation, validation of it by the partners and a group of stakeholders from different Countries, preparation of the network follow-up, with additional involvement of the stakeholders and an impact assessment of the roadmap at national level.
