O&M Adoption in GMES in-situ

Summary

“It is recommended to adopt O&M within an information architecture for the GMES In-Situ Observations component.”

Classification

Category	Data harmonisation and semantic interoperability
Identifier	REC-OM-003
Type of recommended activity	Further investigation about the subject
Organisations addressed	GMES In-Situ Observations Working Group (ISOWG) and EEA technical support group

Additional information

Context	See below
Rationale	An information architecture for GMES is desperately needed in any case, and especially for the In-Situ Observations can play a major role in facilitating interoperability. EEA has responsibility for this task, under delegation from the EC. The Observations and Measurements specification offers significant potential for enabling such an architecture
Dependencies	This recommendation depends on the description of work negotiated with the EC under the FP7 coordination action "Coordinated provision of in-situ observation data for GMES" with EEA as defined beneficiary; these negotiations may currently be underway.
