Large European communities generate significant amounts of valuable environmental observations at local and regional scales using mobile communication devices, computers and sensors which are mostly connected to the internet. These communities environmental observations represent a wealth of information which is currently unused and therefore in need for integration with other fragmented data and information sources, traditionally managed by research and educational institutions and industries.
ENVIROFI
will consolidate the Future Internet requirements from the
Environmental Usage Area perspective and provide important
specifications and prototypes of interoperable geospatial Environmental
Enablers. These will be deployed in the Terrestrial, Atmospheric and
Marine environments in collaboration with large stakeholder communities;
and set the stage for large-scale trials in the Environmental Usage
Area with a perspective of achieving sustainable socio-economic progress
in Europe.
