2. The platform
• An information architecture and an intelligent infrastructure that
enables exchange of data, relevant for drought analysis, as well as
continous automated sensing, monitoring and decision support for
drought risk management operations.
• Act. 1.3: review existing platforms and make a proposal for an
integration of IDMP products and data into one of them in order to
design a common concept of capacity development and knowledge
transfer.

3. The platform
• Preparation of the Implementation guide
• Distribution of survey on available data in partner countries
• Preparation of workshop

4. Implementation guide (v.1.0)
• Introduction and overview of existing platforms
• Description of European Drought Observatory (EDO)
• Data integration
• GIS basics
• EDO mapviewer and web mapping
• Metadata catalogue

5. European Drought Observatory (EDO)
http://edo.jrc.ec.europa.eu
EDO is infrastructure, not
project!
•Continental overview of
information on drought
•Visualization and analysis
•Seamless access to regional
and national drought
information

6. Data survey
• Name and description of the product (map, analysis, bulletin
etc.)
• Type (point values, raster, polygon attributes, web publication,
web page etc.)
• Frequency and date of availability
• Mode of availability
• Other attributes
Operational products preferred!

7. INSPIRE Geoportal
• The INSPIRE Directive requires
the Commission to establish a
community geo-portal and the
Member States shall provide
access to their infrastructures
through the geo-portal as well as
through any access points they
themselves decide to operate.
• The INSPIRE geoportal provides
the means to search for spatial
data sets and spatial data
services, and subject to access restrictions, to view spatial data sets
from the EU Member States within the framework of the INSPIRE
Directive.
