On a global scale, different governmental agencies implemented dedicated Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) to publish geological, geotechnical and geothematic maps, datasets and metadata. In most cases, the geoportals of SDI use different types of both visual and textual representation of the information and the geological data of each nation are...
Traditionally, maps and data were analyzed and created by desktop software tools. Today, thanks to World Wide Web, open source software tools and international standards, practitioners and researchers can share maps, data, and measures. Sharing can be done with different software tools, proprietary or open source, and with varying degrees of intero...
Desertification is defined as land degradation in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities. The desertification process in the world affects around 200 countries and 2 billion people. It has become a growing threat in the EU due to prolonged drought periods and incre...
Precision Agriculture (PA) can give a significant contribution to improve food production and its environmental sustainability. The widespread availability of satellite data, distributed globally by Earth Observation (EO) systems, allows today to access and exploit these data in favour of PA techniques. In the present paper, we discuss a methodolog...
Precision Agriculture (PA) takes advantage of digital technologies to improve agricultural production and its economic and environmental sustainability. The main issues in the implementation and spread of PA include (a) harmonization and (b) interpretation of heterogeneous data collected from different sources; (c) interoperability of systems and d...
The sharing of research data allows for information reuse and knowledge advancement but its realization is often a challenge and seldom successful in practice. We propose a workflow for the design of a User Support System (USS) aimed at tutoring research groups in data sharing by considering their social and domain backgrounds. Our engagement appro...
The expected global sea level rise by the year 2100 will determine adaptation of the whole coastal system and the land retreat of the shoreline. Future scenarios coupled with the improvement of mining technologies will favour increased exploitation of sand deposits for nourishment, especially for urban beaches and sandy coasts with lowlands behind...
Usually, rural landscape characterization is implemented through geomatics techniques and subsequent production and analysis of geospatial data. Thanks to internet diffusion, practitioners and researchers can share data in the World Wide Web. Data sharing process can improve participatory planning processes and allow an easy comparison between diff...
The Po Plain (Italy) is a complex mixture of urban and rural landscapes. Between Lombardy and Piedmont, the rural zone includes the largest rice crop area in Europe, accounting for 40% and 90% of the European and Italian rice production, respectively. The monitoring of this crop system is important by both environmental and economic points of view,...

About 54% of world population nowadays lives in urban areas and this percentage is expected to increase up to 66% by 2050. Therefore, it is crucial to manage this social and cultural change by collecting, integrating and sharing reliable and open spatial information concerning the urban environments where we leave in. The present availability of hu...
The ambition of the eLTER Information System is to link distributed data sources provided by the long term monitoring community and allowing access to metadata and data from different data providers and providing a single point of access for the users to retrieve data. The eLTER Data
Integration Platform report lays out the basic components of the...
A critical component of Maritime Spatial Planning is the establishment of well-curated, federated Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) to provide a means to preserve and share geospatial data while promoting attribution and acknowledgement of its use. Objective of the work is to create a geospatial database of geomorphology, seismic and sedimentology...
The Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) are a critical component of Maritime Spatial Planning to provide a means to preserve and share geospatial data. Objective of the work is to create a geospatial database to data repository and integration of abiotic/biotic variables, anthropogenic pressures, habitat and species distribution patterns by means of...
The European Network for Long Term Ecological Research (LTER-Europe - http://www.lter-europe.net) is a network of more than 400 ecological interest sites on which researchers carry out decadal-scale ecological investigations. Leading research institutions, universities and governmental agencies manage the sites and produce long term ecological data...

The eLTER Information System Architecture report lays out the basic components of the IT infrastructure that will be built to support data management, integration and dissemination across the eLTER network. The design of the architecture is based on existing software components and uses international standards to ensure compatibility not only withi...
The aim at this work was to identify in the frame of ECOPOTENTIAL a relevant list of data available at protected areas. The approach was focused on two directions, first was to identify the data sources providing ready to use data for remote sensing and modelling purposes and the second was to find specific data available or existing at the protect...
Water quality is a multi-source, multi-purpose problem that needs exploiting observations, often taken by a number of heterogeneous bodies. This problem has been tackled within the Italian Long Term Ecological research network (LTER-Italy) in an experiment aimed at testing how ecological observations of mountain lakes water can be shared by OGC (Op...

Land suitability evaluation (LSE) is a widespread methodology that supports environmental managers and planners in analysing the interactions between location, development actions, and environmental elements. In the present paper, we discuss on a web-based multi-criteria spatial decision support system (MC-SDSS) implemented to accomplish LSE for ag...
