Objective
Conflicting Earth observation data policies have become an obstacle to the development of Earth observation in Europe, and so to the fulfilment of the objectives of the Centre for Earth Observation. In this context the primary objectives of EOPOLE are:
- To review and coordinate relevant European national research in Earth observation data policy with a strong user perspective.
- To identify and recommend improvments to Earth observation data policy with a distinctly European perspective in order to provide better conditions for the expansion of the Earth observation sector, and so to contribute to the objectives of the CEO.
The concerted action has four supporting, secondary objectives: - To collate and review the Earth observation data policies of European member states and international agencies in which Europe plays an active part.
- To transfer knowledge and experience of Earth observation data policy issues, particularly those which directly affect users, among European member states.
- To increase awareness in the Earth observation sector of: ( 1 ) the obstacles which current Earth observation data policies produce, and (2) the opportunities for improving the conditions of access to Earth observation data by changing Earth observation data policies.
- To build a broadly-based European expertise in Earth observation data policy so that European perspectives can be articulated in global Earth observation fora.
EOPOLE will tackle the following issues in Earth observation data policy in Europe through a series of workshops.
Workshop 1 State of the art of Earth observation data policy Workshop 2 User issues: real time vs off line, operational, different sectors
Workshop 3 Ground infrastructures, distribution and dissemination policies Workshop 4 New technologies and data integration
Workshop 5 Archives: short, medium and long term
Workshop 6 Pricing policy: options, new models
Workshop 7 Legal issues: constraints, new opportunities
Workshop 8 Conclusions, findings and recommendations. Presentations to the CEO team
A research co-ordinator will collate the wide ranging information on Earth observation data policies and provide an coordination function for all the participants in the EOPOLE project.
The concerted action team is led by a university and consists of participants from universities, government agencies and private companies in Europe.
The expected result of EOPOLE will be a coherent set of recommendations on how Earth observation data policy could be improved for the benefit of European users and suppliers.
