AD4GD D6.2. Pilot Technical Implementation Planning, Implementation and Assessment Report

This document is the Deliverable D6.2 for the AD4GD project. It presents the final results achieved in the context of Tasks T6.1, T6.2, T6.3, and T6.4. The document is a follow-up version of the Deliverable 6.1 “Pilot Technical Implementation Planning, Implementation and Assessment” that reported on pilot establishment, design of workflow and requirements analysis.

The purpose of Deliverable D6.2 is to review and report on the integration of accessible, re-usable tools and workflows, including re-use and extension of existing tools, semantics and standards as well as bespoke development of 12 new interoperable components and approaches within the project. Where component reports have already been published within other deliverables that document underpinning technologies and services, these will be signposted to avoid redundancy and duplication.

This collection of Green Deal Data Space components is presented in the form of tested FAIR workflows that consume, use and produce data and metadata for the three identified pilot case studies, to facilitate data-driven decision making on Green Deal priority topics.

The progress described includes:

• re-use and extension of existing re-usable components, data and services which can support the pilots and, more broadly, the Green Deal Data Space;

• identification of remaining gaps, and of components required to fill those gaps;

• development and integration of the identified components;

• evaluation of workflow and interface performance, and of output quality and consistency.

Our human-centred co-design approach has enabled us to work closely with sister projects and existing GEO initiatives to ensure efficiency and interoperability.
For each pilot, the reader may refer to D6.1 for in-depth descriptions of the initial rationale, indicators and stakeholders, and evaluation of the relative contribution of EO, citizen science, socio-economic and IoT data. In D6.2 we show how the workflows developed to support some areas of the Green Deal decision-making have been developed, and illustrate how a range of data and services can be transparently and reproducibly integrated within the Green Deal Data Space to generate scientifically defensible outputs which can be easily discovered, re-used and visualised by stakeholders. The corresponding assessment of scalability, performance, and technology convergence can be found in D6.3.
