15. Summary Environmental Information Sharing has already started. Status: initial stage, to provide the public with basic data of environmental information. Problem  Difficulty in national integration: every province has its own information publication system based own national standards; the national information integration is done vertically via excel sheets.  Difficulty in international integration: the data is recorded based national environmental standards, which are not a good fit for GEMET, and there is no mapping between them. Therefore, it leads to the difficulty of integrating Chinese environmental information with that of other GEMET-using countries.  Difficulty in utilization: other software systems is difficult to analyze and utilize the environmental data directly.  Difficulty in participation: it’s difficult to appeal individuals to participate the information sharing.

16. Summary Environmental Information Sharing has already started. Status: initial stage, to provide the public with basic data of environmental information. Problem: Difficulty in national integration, international integration, utilization, participation Solution  Standards Mapping and Extension Formulate GEMET’s Chinese version, and make suggestions to enrich GEMET’s content according to Chinese national standards  Technology Promotion User- friendly interface should be established. apart from text format, well-defined languages, like XML, RDF and OWL should be employed to express environmental information. Environmental terminology’s ontology could be used to support logical reasoning on environmental information and aid users’ decision

20. An Example of Ontology: Rice “growsIn” “are” “hasVariety” “hasSynonym”

21. ISO/IEC 19763-3 With Ontology, we can get inference about the relationship between the concepts in an ontology With ISO/IEC 19763-3, we can get accurate information about the relationship between concepts in different ontologies http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogu e_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=38637

22. 22 “Software Component Repository” and its extensions, which are based on ISO/IEC 19763-3, has been widely adopted by 240 enterprises in China 10 of which are “Top 500 Corporations in China” ★

24. 24 Remark to ISO/IEC 19763-3 from KMSoft Jin Zhang (General Engineer of KMSoft) ： “…Seen from the light of application, ISO/IEC 19763-3 is beneficial for the communication between end user and system analyzers. …We marked the components with semantic annotations. Then system analyzers can seek the components according to user requirements to create prototype system rapidly. ….This method is proven much more efficient than before….”

28. 28 File sent by U.S. EPA to China SEPA, 2007 Molly O’Neill CIO, U.S. EPA Invite WHU to join GEMET ISO/IEC 19763-3 will be excellent in GEMET future application Mr. Zhou Jian, Vice Minister, State Environmental Protection Administration Invite SEPA/China

29. Invitation Letter from UNEP ， 2009.12.23 29 Qinghua Xu, Director General, Dept of International Cooperation, MEP/China Yolodymyr Demkine Officer-in-Charge, Division of Early Warning and Assessment, UNEP Yolodymyr Demkine Officer-in-Charge, Division of Early Warning and Assessment, UNEP Invite MEP, with WHU responsible for the primary effort on the GEMET project.

30. 1 st China Environment Informationization Working Meeting Jan 5 th -6 th, Beijing Co-sponsored by MEP and MIIT( Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) Minister ZHOU Shengxian points out: By 2015, China will establish an environmental informationization mechanism that is suitable for the environmental protection in the new era. We’ll Construct an advanced and comprehensive “Digital Environmental Protection” system, to widely support the sharing and employment of the environmental information resources. We’ll Establish catalog system and communication platform for environmental information resources, and forming the work layout as uniform management, distributed storage, co-operate and co- construct, and resources sharing. We’ll improving information systems in business application, propelling the optimization and coordination of different modules of business application, and increasing the efficiency of environment management.

31. Today, environmental information sharing is been given weight by China’s government, which is a good opportunity. The import Role GEMET has played in environmental sharing is obvious. The advanced state of the technology in GEMET has been widely recognized. We are looking forward to contributing in the GEMET China Project, to improve China’s environment information sharing level as well as enhance the world-wide environmental information exchange, sharing and employment.

32. Future work LI Jian, the Secretary of WHU will try to get contact with MEP high level Mr. ZHOU Jian, Mr. XU Qinghua… They will arrange official meeting on behalf of WHU in 2010 Gain support from MEP, begin GEMET translation work and provide revision advice based on China National Standards on environmental terms. Apply ISO Standards to environmental terms administration Ontology Administration (MFI-3) Provide environmental information services to satisfy user requirements (MFI-5 ， -7 ， -8 ， -9) Build up Environmental Information Sharing Platform on the basis of ISO Standards
