Annex I - “Description of Work” - Hlandata

CIP-ICT PSP-2009-3Pilot BHLANDATAB3.4. Security, privacy, inclusiveness, interoperability, standards and open-sourceInteroperability is at the core of the HLANDATA project: The harmonization proposal to be deliveredby the project, as well as the data sharing infrastructure are aimed at giving access and allowing to useand exploit geographic data which are distributed all around Europe and stored in a different way. Theharmonization proposal to be made and the data sharing infrastructure to be built according to thisproposal will allow users to access these data no matter the place where it is stored and no matter theway it is stored through network services provided by the different data providers.The project is devoted to achieving the interoperability of the Land Use/Land Cover existing data, andthis is why interoperability issues have to be considered from the very beginning of the project.Multilingual issues are closely connected to this; mainly to the data harmonization proposal to beprovided by the project.The project will not use proprietary solutions in the developments to be carried out. These will bebased on open solutions and open standards, and in own software in some cases. The services to bedeveloped, freely accessible through the web, will guarantee the use of standard services (Web MapServices – WMS, Web Processing Services – WCS, Web Features Services – WFS).It is important to remark that the set of GIS contents to be utilized and harmonized along this projectare going to be public contents freely provided by the data providers. Although, for statisticalpurposes, and also in order to control the access to the developed web services, the requirement for a(costless) licence might be introduced in the future, the nature of the harmonized datasets will remainpublic and freely available for the end users.B3.5. Resources to be committedThe approach taken by the HLANDATA project involves 6 WPs with well-defined objectives andresults that will allow the achievement of all project objectives. The project consortium considers thatan adequate mass of resources is mobilized to ensure the success of the project. In this sense, abalanced project component organization has been designed so that the resources are integrated in acoherent way within the project.The consortium believes that the HLANDATA financial plan is adequate to the planned activities andobjectives of the project. Effort distribution, equipment acquisitions and other investments havealready been planned for the full project duration during the preparation of the proposal.The financial plan for the project is shown in the next two graphs:1.
