GSE Land has to be seen as only one of many activities of the EC
and ESA on GMES services. With the aim to strengthen the position
of land services for keeping a certain momentum in the sustainable
development of GMES it is of special importance to approach a broad
variety of stakeholders from:
As it is impossible for a single project to serve all possible
GMES actors strong links have been established to many projects
which recently finished or are running in parallel.
The following table lists a few selected activities initiated,
organised and funded from various sources, together with the
collaboration already established or to be established during the
project's life time. Most of these activities are of European
relevance. The listed Interreg projects are at least transnational.

Establish common user
platform Establish common service provider platform Harmonised
service definitions through broad user/service provider platform
- Common land cover / land use content definitions ( CSL )
- Interoperable services across "water", "soil", "nature" and
"spatial planning" applications (regional observatories)
- Up- and downscaling consistency from regional to continental
scales ( CSL - OFL)
- Working practices - "best practice guidelines" for land
cover/land use processing ( CSL ) Consolidation of new services for
GSE Stage 2
- Common land cover/land use: change detection service (as
requested by EEA now in Stage 2 SoW)
- Nature protection services (building on R&D heritage of FP5
SPIN, FP5 EON -2000+, BIOPRESS)
- Soil degradation monitoring (building on R&D projects FP5
EUROSION, FP5 LADAMER, JRC and national heritage) Up-grade of
consolidated services
- Water Quality services: Swedish model upgrade; national water
quality service consolidation for France & Spain Service
implementation in geoland based on Stage 2 inputs with geoland user
organisation
- Parts of nature portfolio
- Soil degradation portfolio
- Annual European Monitoring (between CSL and OFL - i.e. with JRC
GVM Unit)

Framework cooperation
agreement envisaged between geoland Executive Board and GSELand
prime Common user platform initiated through ETC -TE Bi-lateral
agreement on exploitation of IPR initiated between collaborating
companies of GSELand and geoland Observatory entities. Overlapping

- Focus on core services towards operationality and to identify
impacts of high resolution land cover data on existing applications
on European and national level.

Service Evolution |
No direct relevance for
GSELand services; soil degradation and soil erosion still too
immature to be implemented; LADAMER and EUROSION results
consolidated through geoland actions in OWS-S and CSL (indirect
impact on land cover/land use definitions) |
No direct GSELand
collaboration; geoland collaboration through common partners (model
developers and JRC IPSC) |
