Working Groups

WG3: Improve society-science-policy interface

The working group will focus on the outcomes of CS projects for policy makers at local, national, and European level concerned with policies impacting the environment and society. The objective of this WG is to make government officials and decision makers aware of CS by providing evidence and guidance material, so that they can use it as part of policy formation, implementation and evaluation.

WG5: Improve data standardization and interoperability

This working group will focus on improving the technical foundations to foster the impact of CS globally. The objective of this WG is to develop metadata-concepts vocabulary and an ontology to support data sharing among CS projects. WG5 will coordinate with activities on data and service interoperability carried out in Europe, the USA and Australia, and will take into account existing standards, namely Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, ISO/TC 211, W3C standards (semantic sensor network/Linked Data), and existing GEO/GEOSS semantic interoperability.

WG6: Overaching - Cross-WG-Synthesis and overarching measures

Cross-WG-Synthesis and overarching measures will be taken to ensure learning and the creation of an added value of the Action as a whole.
