Ultimately, this requires the ability to integrate information across scientific domains to address issues at regional and global levels. EuroGEOSS, an EC-sponsored FP7 project, has built an initial operating capability (IOC) in the three strategic areas of drought, forestry and biodiversity to facilitate and demonstrate multi-disciplinary applications. EuroGEOSS has implemented a brokering service that allows finding and accessing data from a wide range of standards and domainspecific practices including the use of a semantically rich querying capability. The paper presents the functionalities achieved by EuroGEOSS. The paper also presents the impact of advanced services through an assessment of societal benefits of the extended information availability. date: 2011-04 date_type: published official_url: http://www.isprs.org/proceedings/2011/ISRSE-34/211104015Final00359.pdf creators_browse_id: 98 full_text_status: public pres_type: paper event_title: 34th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment - The GEOSS Era: Towards Operational Environmental Monitoring event_location: Sydney, NSW; Australia event_dates: 10-15 April 2011 event_type: conference refereed: FALSE coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject citation: Pearlman, J., Craglia, M., Bertrand, F., Nativi, S., Gaigalas, G., Dubois, G., Niemeyer, S., & Fritz, S.
