Three purposes of reporting –EEA interests
1. Checking compliance and implementation of legislation
2. Assessing environment trends (P, S and I) and associated driving forces (D)
3. Evaluating the effectiveness of policy measures (R)

Definitions
European Environmental Information System•Organisations, work processes, agreements, applications, data,
indicators, and assessments that are involved in international environmental reporting in Europe
Information infrastructure•The framework of data standards, interoperability
mechanisms, and other permanent structures that enables information exchange and sharing within and between information systems
Reportnet•Suite of IT tools optimised to support the business processes of
a data collection network building on a shared information infrastructure
![Page 14: 1 Information Infrastructure for European Environmental Reporting The contribution through Reportnet Stefan Jensen EEA, Copenhagen, Denmark Openforum Santa](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f065503460f94c1c504/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What are the characteristics of Reportnet(general)
• Reportnet is the framework for environmental data and information exchange to be applied by the EEAs EIONET network
• Reportnet functions are underpinned by several IT tools in the 8 functional areas – Reportnet provides the functional specification of next generation eEIONET
• Reportnet content is built along EEA‘s priority dataflow areas which will be extended based on the outcome of the core set of indicator discussion
![Page 15: 1 Information Infrastructure for European Environmental Reporting The contribution through Reportnet Stefan Jensen EEA, Copenhagen, Denmark Openforum Santa](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f065503460f94c1c504/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What are the characteristics of Reportnet(technical)
Reportnet is built on:
- Open source tools which are either „out of the box“ or customised to EIONET needs – increasingly webservices- Data interchange formats (such as XML)
- Common metadata approach DublinCore – resource discovery ISO19115 – spatial data ISO11179 - data elements) - Documented and shared data definitions (i.e.XML schema, RDF) - Communication protocols (HTTP, SMTP, LDAP, SOAP, XML/RPC )

Content Registry – registry components
Some principles:
• Connecting services providing metadata in XML/RDF
• This is harvested into a MySQL database
• Dublin Core plus free extension (to be stored in service specific namespaces) as meta data model
• application developed in OpenSource (Java)

What is next in harmonisation?
Reportnet project under the IDA (Interchange of Data between Administration) program of DG Enterprise from mid 2003 to mid 2005
Key challenges:–Business Process Reengineering of European environmental reporting (”bridging the gap”)–New data sharing agreements between countries, commisson and various committees
–Standardisation of concepts and data (there is no environmental data standards council)
- Further development of generic tools and architectures and data flow automation
![Page 33: 1 Information Infrastructure for European Environmental Reporting The contribution through Reportnet Stefan Jensen EEA, Copenhagen, Denmark Openforum Santa](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f065503460f94c1c504/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Summary
Where EEA moved between Openforum 2000 and 2003: –Move from central metadata cataloguing to internet based decentral metadata provision and harvesting
– Implementing the IS011179 based data dictionary (registry) for storage of data defintion, XML schemas, coding lists
–„XML-izing“ all metadata exchange processes–no need for UDDI registry (yet), a simple WSDL repository might be needed soon
–no need to apply an ebXML registry (yet)
EEAs and US-EPA both face the registry interoperability challenge these days
