THE ITALIAN NADCEnvironmental Data and Cloud Service Management

(EDCSM )

CNR is establishing the information infrastructure to provide the polar scientific community, through the Polar Metadata Infrastructure, to easily manage with historical and real-time data and metadata. The infrastructure will ensure data discovery through the interconnection of the system with the most common ones, integration with the global environmental observation network of GEOSS, and will contribute to increase the entire GEO community. The EDCSM system is conceived to support the scientist, who may want to use it, through simple and intuitive interfaces to create a customized work environment. The infrastructure is provided with SOS service to allow real time updates on data and metadata directly from remote sensorsThis is a great opportunity because the data, constitute a unique integrated dataset obtained by a set of different sensors, measuremens and acquisition systems. The full operability of the system will be tested using the data stored as well as the real time data in particular to check the performance of the sensor s and the quality of the measurements
