1. SENSE in CZ It‘s not so easy, but it makes sense… Jarmila Cikánková CENIA NRC EIS meeting, Copenhagen, 16. – 17.6.2011

2. Overview 1.SENSE – what was done 2.Other RDF based activities 3.SENSE 2 – ideas, outlooks, wishes, …

3. How to handle SENSE? „The only thing“ we had to do: Implement xml structure compliant to XML/RDF SENSE Feed Specification Several prerequisities needed: 1) To have national web publishing system – fill it with all relevant and needed information and data 2) To start cooperation with content making team, to share the „word is not web“ idea 3) To have somebody to implement rdf – „is capable of and has time to do that“

4. Let‘s see... 1) We have ISSaR, but No English version of web – we have prepared the translation of RDF linked parts (and still continuing…) Not all data was in the data warehouse - added CMS didn‘t contain neither all texts nor usable structure 2) „word is not web“ Content making SoER team wasn't aware that the result should be web presentation - change of approach needed, already written texts had to be rewrited 3) „ is capable of and has time to do that“ Time and resources have been found (as usually…)

5. Results 1) RDF feed created for each SoER topic Freshwater example: http://issar.cenia.cz/issar/add/CZ_water.rdf http://issar.cenia.cz/issar/add/CZ_water.rdf 2) English version of ISSaR website Freshwater example: http://issar.cenia.cz/issar/page.php?id=1772 http://issar.cenia.cz/issar/page.php?id=1772 3) CZ data visible on SoER 2010 website Freshwater example: http://www.eea.europa.eu/soer/countries/cz/soertopic_view? topic=freshwater http://www.eea.europa.eu/soer/countries/cz/soertopic_view? topic=freshwater

6. National usage of RDF Inspired by the SENSE project – SIRIUS Usage of RDF and semantic web concepts within a national environment data integration platform Plans to use bidirectional RDF to link different systems Data mining, processing and assessment (RDF plugin for Statistica SW)

7. OK, and what next…? SENSE 2 – it is a worth to continue! Continuous updating of data published in SoER 2010 Spreading of technology among other EEA member countries (now 13 participants) Moving other EEA activities to RDF -> CSI Cooperation among countries (transboundary, regional) - countries are publishing RDF, EEA displays results CENIA supports involvement of the CZ in the SENSE 2 project
