Contribution of the LifeWatch system to the GEO BON system of systems Collaboration Users Work flow generator E-Infrastructure Integration and Computation Composition Data software Distributed computing power Resources
LifeWatch Research InfrastructureEnhancing Biodiversity & Ecosystem Science • LifeWatch will provide access to: • Distributed observatories/sensor networks, • Interoperable databases, existing (data-)networks, using accepted standards • Computional power • Software & tools voor visualisation, analysis and modelling
LifeWatch Research InfrastructureEnhancing Biodiversity & Ecosystem Science Support research at the system level • Through a single portal for researchers, policy makers, NGOs, private companies, general public • By supporting ‘collaborative networks’ working on urgent scientific and societal questions • Allow for studying complexity on much larger speeds
Facilitating data resources and trust • Promote that related data providers cooperate to establish data integrators • LifeWatch facilitates such cooperation. • Cooperating data networks may establish their own (and self-controlled) virtual environment for data storage and data management etc. • Cost might be covered by LifeWatch, but require negotiation Users E-Infrastructure Composition Resources
Much larger speeds • Advanced modeling algorithms • Computational capacity • Speed up data generation • Sensors • Empower human observation networks • Earth observation as a proxy for direct in situ observations • Earth observation currently mainly on ecological characteristics • Consider species presence (and not the big species) • Use the parameters as used in ecological niche modeling to develop a suite of EO parameters for identifying potential species presence. • i.e. combination soil data, humidity fluctuations 5 cm bottom layer, vegetation types, altidudes, etc)
