Mediterranean region

Partners involved
CNR, ISPRA, NILU, IVL, IJS, GKSS, MPI-C

Use case description
This task aims to provide a use-case for the EGIDA methodology replication process, focusing on  partnership, infrastructures, products and services involving southern Mediterranean Countries.
To implement capacity building of neighbour EC developing countries, the use-case will provide  technology, OS oriented, capable to permit a congruous and continuous data management and data flow, toward interoperability, on the basis of the EIOnet model.
To implement this vision, this task will use the UNEP-MAP network to promote data and information sharing and to involve northern African actors to achieve interoperability tests.

The EIOnet model to be applied at Mediterranean scale.
ARPA/APPA: Italian Environmental Agencies
NFP: EIOnet National Focal Point
RFP: EIOnet Regional Focal Point
MRI: Main Reference Institutes
SINA: Italian Environmental Information System
EEA: European Environmental Agency

The resulting model to be applied at Mediterranean scale to provide GEOSS a single point access for metadata.
