Abstract
Dit rapport beschrijft hoe mondiale en regionale
gegevens beheerd worden binnen het RIVM, in relatie tot UNEP's Global
Environmental Outlook en andere internationale milieurapportages en 'global
change'-studies. Het merendeel van deze gegevens wordt gebruikt als
basisbestanden voor onderzoek en modellering ten behoeve van
milieuverkenningen, terwijl een beperkt deel bestaat uit resultaten van
dergelijk onderzoek. De basisgegevens worden eveneens gebruikt om
milieu-indicatoren voor integrale rapportages te ontwikkelen en te
definieren. Het beheer van internationale gegevens maakt binnen het RIVM
deel uit van de informatie-infrastructuur en de daarbinnen ontwikkelde
gegevenslogistieke tools voor meta-gegevens, data kwaliteitscontrole en
rapportpublicatie. In aanvulling op het beschrijven van een selectie van
meta-gegevens van internationale bestanden als de 1995 data catalogus, is
getracht de data-logistieke activiteiten te plaatsen in een bredere context
van data management, door een verbinding te leggen met de behoeften aan data
en de ontwikkeling van de informatie-infrastructuur
This report describes how global and regional data sets are managed within RIVM in relation to UNEP's Global Environmental Outlook and other environmental assessment and global change studies. The majority of these data sets serves as core input data for assessments and modelling activities, while a smaller number of data sets reflects the results of these activities. Moreover, such core data typically form the basis for defining and deriving environmental indicators for integrated environmental assessment. Logistically, these 'international' data sets are integrated into the overall information infrastructure currently under construction within RIVM, including systems for managing data sets, meta-data (information about the data), quality control and report presentation. In addition to providing such a selection of meta-data as the 1995 data catalogue, an attempt has been made to put the data logistical work on data into a wider context for environmental data management. This is done by describing both how data needs have been made explicit, and how the information infrastructure has been developed and applied to date.
