D4Science Infrastructure

• Production e-infrastructure that will offer facilities for sharing resources and for easily setting up and maintaining Virtual Research Environments

• Resources will include shared computation, storage, and generic service resources

offered by EGEE and DILIGENT data and domain-specific service resources offered by large

international organizations, e.g. European Space Agency (ESA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research (CGIAR)

Virtual Research Environments

• Collaboration environments for supporting the community activities

• Created on-demand through appropriate administration user interfaces

• Consisting of: multiple heterogenous collections of data (e.g. textual reports,

maps, sensor data, statistical data) applications for retrieving, accessing and processing data, and

for producing new knowledge which is published and made available to others

Environmental Monitoring

CommunityResearchers and stakeholders operating over a widespread geographic scale to provide political and technological solutions to global environmental issues (e.g., marine environment, forest ecosystem, air quality)

Requirements Secure Virtual Research Environments where access to huge amount of information, both products or different kinds of reports, added-value applications and services, definition of workflows and on-demand processing of data are all seamless tasks

Fishery Resources Management

CommunityWorldwide spread researchers and decision-makers from many disciplines (biologists, climatologists, GIS experts, socio-economists, fishery managers, etc.) operating to facilitate and secure the long term sustainable development and utilization of the world’s fisheries and aquaculture

Requirements VREs, encompassing many resources on aquatic biodiversity and socio-economics, offering to the communities tools for collaboration on shared fishery assessments in a continual way, instead of sporadically as at present
