eENVPlus

The eENVplus project (eEnvironmental services for advanced applications within INSPIRE) has the aims to unlock huge amounts of environmental data through the integration and harmonisation of existing services produced by the results of previous European projects.

eENVplus integrates existing infrastructures into an operational framework able to overcome cross-border and language barriers. eENVplus provides not only the ICT infrastructure but also the description and the support to make this infrastructure: operational, open and scalable able to integrate existing infrastructures according to the INSPIRE requirements. It will provide: a common Environment Thesaurus Framework, supporting the integration of existing thesauri relevant for the environmental sector via Linked Data; a set of innovative on-line added-value interoperable services aiming to facilitate the development of innovative environmental applications, toolkit in INSPIRE data harmonisation and validation procedure.

In order to exploit the implementation of the eENVplus outcomes in a variety of situations with different user needs, it is intended to implement 9 environmental scenarios in 10 pilot cases. The pilots with their scenarios will allow to better streamline the tools available into the project into the main flow of INSPIRE compliance, with evident implications on interoperability among existing or planned applications. ISPRA leads the pilot application implementation package but develops two of those also: the first is relate to Air quality management and reporting data and the second one is relate to geo-hazard map build on geological data semantically harmonised along the Italy-Slovenia border area.

List of pilots/scenarios

  • implementation of a SEIS for air quality data, pilots in Belgium and Italy;
  • providing INSPIRE-compliant access to utility services: the case of sewage networks in Flanders, pilot in Belgium;
  • CSspire - Everyday life issues connected to Environmental aspects in Czech Republic and Slovakia, cross-border pilot;
  • natural Areas INSPIRE Compliance Toolbox, pilot in France;
  • forest Fire Management, pilot in Greece;
  • window on the Protected Areas - Mobile Conservation Map in Hungary and Slovakia, cross-border pilot;
  • INSPIRE Geoportal - Nature conservation data in Iceland, pilot in Iceland;
  • geological Map Harmonization in Italy and Slovenia, cross-border pilot;
  • urban Landuse Planning: INSPIRE land use planning indicators to monitor good urban planning practices.
