• SmartOpenData is creating a Linked Open Data platform of tools • to make public & voluntary GeoSpatial data

resources on rural areas - such as national parks.• available to SMEs in a way that will enable them to

create new services & products.

• Based on the practical needs & experience of 5 Demonstration Pilots

• SmartOpenData aims to help bridge the gap between

1. GeoSpatial Data - from the SDI/INSPIRE “world”• OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) – standards setting

2. Linked Open Data (LOD) - from the Semantic Web “world”

• W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) – collaborative movement

The Consortium - II

• Environmental Conservation – Ireland • Focused on biodiversity & habitats data for researchers & decision makers

in management & conservation of the Burren & other National Parks.

• Water monitoring – Italy• Will explore the role of aggregating information from different Open Data

sources to provide up to date monitoring of water quality in Sicily.

• Forest sustainability – Czech Republic• Forest site classification, sustainable management & utilisation of forest

roads using the National Forest Inventory & Regional Plans for Development datasets.

• Environmental data reuse – Slovakia • Will deploy two types of web applications to achieve reuse of

environmental data & information in line with the European Open Data Strategy.

• Agroforestry Management – Spain & Portugal• Will focus on building a web based collaborative Spatial Data

Infrastructure to promote sustainable agroforestry management, environment protection, rural economic development, water management & drinking water protection.

Demonstration Pilots

SmartOpenData Irish Pilot

• The Irish pilot will access & aggregate sources to impact on biodiversity, by allowing them to seamlessly bridge the gap between the “worlds” of open data & INSPIRE geo-spatial sources for Environmental Conservation.

• Focusing on European protected areas & its National Parks, • Starting with the Burren National Park in Ireland.• To demonstrate the value of SmartOpenData in helping

Researchers & Decision Makers to better manage, preserve, sustain & use this unique ecosystem.

• Pilot will explore:• Discovery, seamless use & mashing together of sources to

address immediate biodiversity research issues.• Overcoming the barriers (cultural, political, administrative) to

opening up the data• Overcoming technical incompatibilities of datasets in terms of

technical standards, semantic structuring etc. • Validation of the SmartOpenData platform in the aggregation,

analysis & visualisation to support decision making of the various research & other stakeholders requirements, & the value-add/impact on their work

SmartOpenData Irish Pilot

Burren National Park, Co. Clare, Ireland• 1,500 hectares on the west coast of Ireland• Managed by the Irish National Parks & Wildlife

Service • An unique area of high conservation value • containing many habitats of international importance

• including limestone pavement, calcareous grassland, oligotrophic lakes, turloughs, hazel scrub & ash/hazel woodland.

• Involves many Communities & Europe-wide environmental

issues
