EDO:

• Internet-based tool

• provides different types

of information and tools

• at multiple scales

• through multiple

indicators, including high

level indicators targeted

to decision makers

Multi-scale approach

that integrates drought

information from

various scales

Interoperability of drought information systems is required !

How to join EDO

Drought Metadata Catalogue

Allows to share different types of information:

scientific and/or geographical data (raster or vector),

documents (field reports, bulletins, etc.),

web pages, or web services (e.g. mapping services or data delivery services).

Different free or commercial software products are available for composing metadata XML files.

The most suitable for EDO Drought Metadata Catalogue are:

- CatMDEdit (http://catmdedit.sourceforge.net/, free software product)

- INSPIRE Metadata Editor (http://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/editor/, free on-line tool).

Provide an XML document containing at least the mandatory fields to ensure

ISO (19115, 19119, 19139) and INSPIRE compliancy.

Ask EDO team to upload

your XML document(s)

It will be immediately available

in the Drought Metadata Catalogue

Web Map Service (WMS)

If the metadata entry refers to a WMS (Web Map Service), used to deliver maps (images),

it can be temporarily displayed in the EDO MapViewer clicking the button in the result row

When you reset or close the MapViewer, the WMS is removed and you need to re-load it from

the Drought Metadata Catalogue

How to join EDO

Web Map Service (WMS)

If you want to promote your data via WMS, you can also ask EDO

team to register into the MapViewer one or more of your layers

as permanent layers

Once registered, you can see your

layer(s) as one of the EDO layers

with legend, description and time

selection options if needed

The layer is always available in the

MapViewer’s Table of Contents,

without the need to select it from the

Drought Metadata Catalogue

How to join EDO

WFS & WCS

If you have a WFS (Web Feature Service) to deliver vector data

or a WCS (Web Coverage Service) to deliver raster data,

you can ask EDO team to insert a link to your service

Take-Away Points

Key Points:

• EDO is implemented as a multi-scale distributed system based on

interoperable map servers.

• Core indicators are implemented at all scales. They are

complemented by regionally relevant indicators.

• Continuous stakeholder involvement ensures both sound results

and the acceptance of the system.

Next Steps:

• Increase the number of indicators at European level.

• Enlarge the number of interoperable observatories.

• Improve medium to long-range forecasting

• Hazard & risk analysis (incl. CC scenarios)
