The implementation of a webGIS service platform dedicated to the management and sharing of climatological data acquired byudhigh elevation stations is the core of the Station at High Altitude for Research on the Environment (SHARE) GeoNetwork project,udpromoted by the Ev-K2 CNR Committee. The web platform basically will provide three types of services: structured metadataudarchive, data and results from high-altitude environments research and projects; access to high-altitude Ev-K2 CNR stations andudcreation of a network of existing stations; dedicated webGIS for geo-referenced data collected during the research. High elevationudenvironmental and territorial data and metadata are catalogued in a single integrated platform to get access to the informationudheritage of the SHARE project, using open-source tools: Geonetwork for the metadata catalogue and webGIS resources, and theudopen-source Weather and Water Database (WDB), developed by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, for the database informationudsystem implementation. The information system is designed to have a main node, with the possibility to install relocatedudsubsystems based on the same technology, named focal point of SHARE, which will contain metadata and data connected to theudmain node. In this study, a new structure of metadata for the description of the climatological stations is proposed and WDBudadaptation and data preprocessing are described in detail, giving code and script samples.
