THREE PHASES OF THE FI-PPP Phase 2: Apr 2013 - Mar 2015 Prepare for early trials Develop core platform and use case specific functionalities Run early trials Phase 3: May 2014 - Oct 2015 Provide stable infrastructure for large-scale trials Prove viability of concept through large-scale trials including innovative SMEs Phase 1: Apr 2011 - Mar 2013 Usage area requirements Development of architecture and generic and specific enablers Evaluation of test infrastructures 2013 CONCORD Project Consortium 4
ENVIROFI Vision We envision to establish an Environmental Observation Web in which all environmental data, whether from sensors, citizens, or models, are available anytime anywhere through the Internet in a standardised, usable format a system with dynamic understanding of the Earth s atmospheric, marine and terrestrial spheres for the benefit of all European citizens
ICT in the Environmental Usage Area Focus on observations Work based on standards Observations can originate from various sources Web-enabled sensors and sensor networks Citizen observations / human sensors Models and data fusion services
Consortium Research organisations Industry, SME s and not SME's Environmental agencies
Scenarios 1. Bringing Biodiversity into the Future Internet Enabled biodiversity surveys with advanced ontologies Analysis, quality assurance and dissemination of biodiversity data 2. Personal Information System for Air Pollutants, allergens and meteorological conditions Enhance human to environment interaction Atmospheric conditions and pollution in the palm of your hand 3. Collaborative Usage of Marine Data Assets Assess needs of key marine user communities Selection of representative marine use cases for further trial: leisure and tourism, ocean energy devices, aquaculture, oil spill alert
ENVIROFI Architecture The environmental domain heavily relies upon generic geospatial standards Essential role of the ENVIROFI logical architecture to make sure that these standards may be realized on top of the GEs, or better, may be integrated into the GEs For doing so, we first set out a generic Environmental Monitoring and Decision Lifecycle as a framework for the generalisation of use case functionality from the various environmental pilot applications Contributed extensions of this for standardisation in CEN /TC289 TR 15449 on Spatial Data Infrastructure in Europe, and to ISO/TC211 19119 Geospatial Service Architecture and OGC Topic 12 on Service Architecture

ENVIROFI Specific Enablers (SEs) ENVIROFI SEs are structured along six thematic categories, which cover the full spectrum of steps (notification, manage, fusion, etc.) in the environmental monitoring and decision life cycle: Harvesters, connectors and mediators (MED): facilitate easier interoperability between other backend services and data sources Geo-referenced data collection applications (GEO): provide ways to record and archive geo-tagged measurements and designed to support crowd-sourcing Semantic tagging tools (TAG): support for semantic enrichment of environmental data Fusion tools for heterogeneous data sources (FUSION): preparing and aggregating environmental data into formats suitable for use Event detection and notification services (NOT) Geospatial data provisioning and storage (OGC): relate to the provisioning and storage of environmental observations and measurements
Use of FI-WARE Generic Enablers (GEs) in ENVIROFI ENVIROFI evaluated the possibilities and limitations of the currently available GEs 1. Most GEs from the Cloud Hosting, Data/Context management, and Security chapters should be usable in environmental applications 2. Some GEs related Data/Context Management chapter were considered either too immature or did not provide tangible advantages 3. The GEs from the Internet of Things (IoT) chapter were considered out of scope for ENVIROFI, but may be interesting for other applications within the environmental usage area in the future. However, the uptake may be hindered by overlaps between the functionality provided by IoT and by standardized OGC services (OGC is actively seeking a harmonization between the two worlds) 4. Next release of FI-WARE Testbed will improve harmonisation and integration across the GE chapters facilitating the adoption of the GEs for real-world pilots
