1. Towards a network of environmental information services Warwick McDonald [Andrew Woolf, Andre Zerger, Ian McVay]
2. Why the Bureau of Meteorology? Air temp. (°C) FFDI (DF = 10) NWP over central NSW on 13 January 2013 – 0400 UTC to 1100 UTC 10 20 30 40 50 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 …because we do cool things with data for things that matter… AND…
3. National Plan for Environmental Information initiative: overview •  A National Plan •  Independent Review of Australian Government Environmental Information Activity ESTABLISH •  Environmental Information Advisory Group •  Statement of AG Requirements for Environmental Information •  Product and Service Directory, •  eXchange – environmental information e-communique COORDINATE •  National Environmental Information Infrastructure (NEII) – catalogue, vocabulary, data services, monitoring sites, geographic features, observing methods, Explorer SHARE •  eReefs Marine Water Quality Dashboard •  National Air Quality Database •  Information Platform for Bioregional Assessment •  TERN Auscover – Melbourne Node DEPLOY •  Environmental accounting framework, demonstration accounts, implementation plan ACCOUNT
4. enhance discovery of, and access to, environmental information metadata catalogue, environmental vocabularies web services, information models monitoring sites, environmental geographies SCOPE National Environmental Information Infrastructure (NEII)
5. DESIGN PRINCIPLES feasible and sustainable standards-based future-proof distributed where possible, centralised where necessary adopt, adapt, create…
6. DESIGN PRINCIPLES data re-usability licensing framework quality indicators provenance
7. DESIGN PRINCIPLES building on and learning from international best practice institutional arrangements connected technical standards (INSPIRE, OGC)
8. DESIGN PRINCIPLES environmental intelligence conclusions drawn from environmental observations and models to guide decisions and actions by governments, businesses and individuals beyond data download modelling behaviour services linked to data types

12. CATALOGUE (everyone needs one)
13. VOCABULARY SERVICES
14. GEOGRAPHIES provide geographic context for environmental observations and monitoring site locations, e.g.: –  catchment boundaries –  bioregions –  coal basins typically characterised by: –  name –  identifier –  geometry –  limited thematic attribution
15. SERVICES (Google Earth interface)
16. The network is nascent… ALA web data services
17. EXPLORER (bringing it together)
18. RESULTS & SITE SELECTION •  Site details will be displayed in the information panel once the site is selected. •  User can download the site details in xml or csv format.
19. EXPLORATION AND DOWNLOAD – MULTIPLE SITES
