LIFEWATCH CASE

  • Label your project as a LifeWatch Supporting Project

    LifeWatch applicationsResearchers frequently ask how they can be involved in the development process of the LifeWatch research infrastructure. Indeed, the European scientific and technical community has much to offer. Although LifeWatch cannot provide direct funding, many countries are involved in its preparatory phase. It may therefore may be of some advantage to your project if it is seen to be supporting the development of LifeWatch. It is now possible to request a label as LifeWatch Supporting project for projects which clearly contribute to the LifeWatch infrastructure development. The affiliated project has the right to use the LifeWatch logo in all project communications and is valid for the agreed project duration. LifeWatch lists the affiliation on this website.

TWReferenceNET: a LifeWatch Supporting Project PDF Print

TWReferenceNET is an example of an international LifeWatch Supporting Project focused on the conservation and management of biodiversity in the Mediterranean and Black Sea lagoons. At the completion in 2006 the project has developed a transitional water data platform on flora and invertebrate fauna of the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea lagoons. This platform produces tangible services for targeted lagoon ecosystem stakeholders. TWReferenceNET is a data provider for the LifeWatch structure, and represents one of the show cases (Lagoon Networks show case) on how LifeWatch could operate.

Updated LifeWatch Reference Model available PDF Print

LifeWatch ICT StructureThe document provides un updated draft of a Reference Model for the LifeWatch ICT infrastructure as a service-oriented architecture. The Reference Model is based on the ORCHESTRA Reference Model that itself builds on standards for distributed processing and geospatial computing. The Reference Model includes guidelines for the specification and implementation of the LifeWatch ICT infrastructure as well as defining a number of generic information models and services.

 The present version mainly focusses on the guidelines for specification and implementation.

Jacqueline McGladeExternal pressures on biodiversity are not uniform or held in place by geographical designations, and we must not focus all our efforts on preserving islands of biodiversity, while losing nature everywhere else.
