Interdomain Digital Services for Integrated Use of Environmental Data session at EGU2025
The 2025 EGU General Assembly in Vienna, Austria is set to host an exciting session organised by the FAIR-EASE project. This session will explore the latest advancements in digital services that enable the integrated use of environmental data.
Interdomain Digital Services for Integrated Use of Environmental Data
Convener: Alessandro Rizzo | Co-conveners: Maria-Luisa Chiusano, Christelle Pierkot, Marie Jossé, Jérôme Détoc
Our planet's climate system is an intricate, interconnected web. Scientists work tirelessly to unravel its complexities, but they need better tools to access, combine and analyse the vast amounts of environmental data being generated every day.
In this session, featured in the ESSI4 – Advanced Technologies and Informatics Enabling Transdisciplinary Science framework, we aim to address the challenges of data accessibility and promote integrated use by opening gateways for Earth and environmental sciences. It is essential to enable communication, integration, and data processing for multidisciplinary applications across different fields. This session will highlight current or emerging initiatives, standards, software, or complete IT systems that support environmental data science for a better understanding of the Earth System. The services presented must adhere to the FAIR principles, promoting more robust and transparent research. Additionally, the session will showcase efforts to implement FAIR standards, which are essential for seamless data integration and innovation in Earth Sciences.
We welcome contributions from any origin—whether a European (or not) project, research infrastructure, institute, association, or individual researcher—that presents a vision, service, IT infrastructure, software stack, standard, etc.
In particular, we encourage submission that demonstrate how we can:
- Enhance data by adding semantic annotations or adhering to standards, and ensure its availability through appropriate and efficient services.
- Ensure that metadata, data formats, and access policies align with universally accepted standards to maintain consistency and interoperability.
- Provide tools for analysing, visualising and exploring data through interfaces and virtual environments that are both standardised and user-friendly.
- Collaborate with end users to design and present essential information effectively.
- Provide clear and effective training to help users understand and adopt FAIR practices, ensuring they can utilise the services and tools efficiently.
