2 Challenges Increasing world population Industrial development Globalization Poverty Environmental problems Climate change Need environmental data to support decision making A sustainable development pathway for humanity? Source: Global Footprint Network

3 Swedish investment in environmental data Sweden invests about three billion SEK in environmental research each year (large parts being money from state) Creating data assets [Source: /Content/Articles/They-invest-in-environmental-research/] Plus substantial data collection performed by Swedish governmental agencies

4 Data for eternity A scholar s positive contribution is measured by the sum of the original data that he contributes. Hypotheses come and go, but data remain. Santiago Ramón y Cajal ( ) (Advice for a Young Investigator, 1898) [Slide provided by Ulf Jonsell]

5 Generating income from assets Investment (tax payer) data remain Need infrastructure to manage and preserve data assets Need to re-invest data assets to increase their societal benefits Data sharing

6 Data sharing scientific perspective Earth is a system of coupled systems Increasing scientific complexity, interdisciplinarity, data needs Fourth research paradigm data-intensive science Any single problem requires many data sets Any single data set serves many applications [Source: GEO]

7 Environmental data sharing science and policy perspective Policy Formulates research questions Knowledge Information Data Underpins the policy cycle Science Open access to data: key for both science and policy making

8 Data sharing Environmental and socioeconomic benefits The economic value of EO data is in its utility Barbara J. Ryan Secretariat Director Group on Earth Observations (GEO) [Source: Geospatialworld] Better science Improved policy decisions NASA/USGS Landsat example scenes delivered, daily average Previously unexploited potential released by transition to free web delivery Public participation Business opportunities New jobs Increased tax income

9 Citizen science, crowd sourcing & participatory monitoring Citizens = users and providers of environmental data Citizen science ~ research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur or nonprofessional scientists, often by crowdsourcing EEA EyeOnEarth GEO-Wiki:

10 The long and winding road to open environmental data GMES/Copernicus GEOSS data sharing principles and DataCORE INSPIRE Århus Convention PSI SEIS Berlin Declaration on Open Access ICSU WDS data policy WMO Res OECD guidelines for access to research data

11 GEO Launched in response to the 2002 Summit on sustainable development Implements the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) with the help of a 10-year implementation plan ( ) 89 member states, EU, 67 participating organizations Substantial work on data sharing GEOSS data sharing principles GEOSS Data Collection of Open Resources for Everyone, launched at Beijing Ministerial in

12 Swedish participation in GEO/GEOSS Sweden contributes Funding of the GEO-secretariat in Geneva (SMHI) Work of governmental agencies and researchers involved in EO & GMES Support to tasks of the GEO-workplan Global Urban Observation and Information, Infrastructure Institutions and development Information for societal benefits Global Land Cover Methodology and Capacity Building/Outreach, Global Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON), Global Mercury Observation System

13 INSPIRE and the Swedish Geodata-initiative INSPIRE: EU-directive, establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe Interoperability Swedish Geodata: cooperation aimed at the implementation of INSPIRE in Sweden More information:

14 Environment Climate Data Sweden (ECDS) Research Infrastructure funded by the Swedish Research Council Yellow pages for environment and climate data Web interface Data re-use: Science building upon science University X Research group Y ECDS central metadata catalogue Data storage at SNIC/Swestore local and central capabilities (portals, repositories, services, competence); Connected by widely adopted standards

15 Open environment data trends in research International, EU and Nordic initiatives Swedish national initiatives Swedish National Space Board call Formas data publication requirements VR regeringsuppdrag Bättre tillgång till forskningsresultat och forskningsdata. Vetenskapsrådet ska utforma nationella riktlinjer för öppen tillgång till vetenskaplig information (Open Access)

16 SMHI och data idag Datapolicyn omfattar alla data och produkter från SMHIs anslagsfinansierade verksamhet. Omfattar ej produkter och tjänster från SMHIs kommersiella sida. Idag är informationspriset noll för data och produkter som används i icke-kommersiella syften. Redan idag finns mycket data att titta på och ladda ned på smhi.se Luftwebb Vattenwebb Strång (modellerad strålningsinformation) Observationsdata meteorologi (150 stationer, arkivdata) Normalvärden temperatur och nederbörd Svenskt vattenarkiv SVAR (webbversion) Shark (marin miljöövervakning)

17 Öppna data januari 2014 Informationspriset sätts till noll för all typ av användning. En distributionsavgift tas ut i de fall särskild leverans krävs. Smhi.se ska erbjuda nedladdningstjänster för de mest efterfrågade datamängderna, både arkivdata och realtidsdata. Inga begränsande licensvillkor. Kontakt: johanna.fältström@smhi.se marcus.flarup@smhi.se 18

18 Open (environmental) data time to ride the wave? Increasing work world wide on digital agendas and open data US: UK: Substantial efforts also in e.g. DE, FI, DK, NO, NL SE:

19 Conclusions International and national trends towards open environmental data The true value of environmental data is in their ability to deliver societal benefits. Need strategies and infrastructures to manage and disseminate increasing amounts of environmental data Need to exploit opportunities such as improved policy making, science, new jobs and public participation
