Project Overview
Ecosystem Monitoring Datasets
Aim: Enable and promote the sharing and collaborative
integration and analysis of high quality information concerning
water.
Strategy:
• Identify and prioritise the key stakeholders requirements,
datasets and queries.
• Develop common data models and ontologies.
• Design and implement semantic interoperability layer on a
scientific data server.
• Develop a Web-based querying, visualisation and presentation
interface utilising Virtual Globe technologies.
• Develop secure Web Portal and WaterWiki
• Develop a model registry and workflow tools that enable users
to upload and share models, link them using scientific
workflows and execute them over HP/grid computing
• Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program (EHMP)
