The IPCHEM Platform: Main Tools and Functionalities, Data Integration Status, On-Going and Planned Activities, Impact and Recognition

摘要

This presentation will outline the main tools and functionalities, the data integration status, the on-going and planned activities (including synergistic developments across the globe) and the so far received impact and recognition of the European Commission's Information Platform for Chemical Monitoring (IPCHEM). The focus will be on the IPCHEM's innovative principles and approaches for data management and visualisation which: (a) ease the task of accessing, retrieving, using and comparing chemical monitoring data in a coherent and efficient way; (b) enable a fast track and low cost system for interconnecting and harmonising on-the-fly remotely accessible data sources pertaining to different policy domains and scientific disciplines; (c) puts emphasis on data quality control rules which are embedded into the IPCHEM's engine and mechanism for boosting data standardisation and harmonisation.
