EGIDA Approach

• Bottom-up and Top-down approach

Engage

Promote


EGIDA APPROACH (1)• BOTTOM UP

– BUILD ON NATIONAL, EUROPEAN AND NON-EUROPEAN

PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS

– ANALYZE NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN INITIATIVES RELATED

TO GEOSS IMPLEMENTATION IN EUROPE AND

ELSEWHERE

– ENGAGE RELEVANT FP7 PROGRAMS

– STAKEHOLDERS NETWORK REPRESENTS EXISTING

EXPERIENCES (PROJECTS) AND NEEDS

Engage

Promote


EGIDA APPROACH (2)– TOP DOWN

• COORDINATE WITH THE GEO STC– Co-leadership of GEO TASKS ST-09-01 AND ST-09-02– STC leaders play an active role in the project

• COORDINATE WITH THE GEO SECRETARIAT– GEO Secretariat liaison to STC is member of EGIDA Advisory

Board• DELIVER A METHODOLOGY TO APPLY A SYSTEM OF

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROCESS AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL

• ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS ARE LEADING RELEVANT EUROPEAN AND NON-EUROPEAN INITIATIVES (E.G. INSPIRE, GMES)

Engage

Promote


EGIDA DELIVERABLES• Evaluation processes

– e.g. for relevance of specific observation infrastructure;– e.g. communicating the scientific priorities in Earth observations

• Tests and assessment indexes – e.g. for GEOSS component continuity and availability

• Databases– e.g. Expertise e.g. Continuity

• Framework concepts– “GEO label” European funding agencies– “GEOSS Citation Standard”

• Surveys– e.g. Datasets available from the European S&T Community– e.g. Analysis of initiatives relevant for the GEOSS S&T objectives

• Other instruments

• The EGIDA Methodology• Four Use Cases to assess the EGIDA Methodology


Contributions to Developing Countries• Transfer EGIDA S&T Methodology to them and implement four

Specific Use Cases

– HOT SPOT POLLUTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN• Chemical pollution investigated under the KNOWSEAS project

– MEDITERRANIAN REGION• Focus on partnership, infrastructures, products and

services involving southern Mediterranean countries

– PAN-EUROPEAN “AIR QUALITY FOR HEALTH”• Analysis of national and international stakeholders initiatives in air quality

and health• Methodology development and transfer of geo principles

in air quality and health community

– SLOVENIA (methodology transfer in a small country use case)• Investigate feasibility of EGIDA methodology transfer to small countries
