Integrating Environmental Information Across Europe

RSW Geomatics, the 1Spatial Group and Rob Walker Consultancy have been awarded a contract by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, Institute for Environment and Sustainability. This contract is to ‘Develop Technical Guidance for the INSPIRE Transformation Service’ – enabling online access to geographically referenced datasets from different countries and different environmental themes.

The contract requires:

•a survey of ‘state of the art' transformation services;

•drafting of the associated technical guidance;

•prototyping of a schema transformation service;

•production of a demonstration video in three languages.

 

The project will last eight months and will be carried out in Cambridge, UK where all three companies of the winning consortium are based.

 

INSPIRE is the European Union's Directive concerned with enabling environmental datasets from all Member States to work easily together for monitoring, policy making, and response to emergencies. Phenomena such as flooding, air quality and marine pollution do not respect political boundaries. It is therefore essential for national and European level organisations to be able to integrate cross border datasets at any time.
