2. Introduction Landscape related sciences
Characterised by broad interdisciplinary aspects
Various domains of knowledge, e.g.: fundamental sciences, applied sciences, social sciences, land use and landscape planning
Disciplines communicate current research activities and publish recent results separately.
Consequence
‘Landscape science’ related knowledge is far- scattered
Up to date information on landscape research is difficult to obtain even if it is freely available

3. Introduction
All landscape researchers would benefit from a publicly available repository that provides ...
core information on landscape research,
an interpreted terminology and a steadily expanding knowledge database,
a possibility to search information on specific topics within the most important web sites in world wide web,
access to open data.
This we would like to achieve with openLandscapes.
Content and structure of openLandscapes may allow defining the system boundaries of ‘landscape science’.

12. Wiki Pages Aim Wiki is organised in two categories:
Access to up to date knowledge of landscape related sciences (contents, concepts, definitions, relations)
Wiki is organised in two categories:
‘Glossary Wiki’
Specify and elaborate terms associated with scientific context, e.g.: Ecosystem services _(Landscape Ecology)
Link to definitions (drafts or published)
Link to relations between wiki pages
‘Essay Wiki’
A resource for additional knowledge and further explanations or discussion of new ideas
Supplement the information given in ‘Glossary Wiki’

20. Data publishing framework (not yet implemented)
Aim:
To provide tools & support for publication of research data which are a fundamental base for research, cooperation and interdisciplinary communication.
The data publishing framework shall …
assist data providers in archiving and publishing research data,
enhance data accessibility,
encourage re-use of data.
Key issues are:
DOI implementation, data registration, data publication, bibliographical and core metadata, repository development.
10 September, September, 2018

21. Outlook
IALE-D and ZALF have agreed to ensure system hosting, technical development and maintenance.
openLandscapes will continue to promote open access in the field of landscape science.
Future fields of activity:
Functionality improvement
Access to open data
Data publishing framework (DOI, primary data, metadata)
Joint publications
Defined user group for each publication
Community building
User group
Quality control group
Open data working group
