Copernicus is the European program for monitoring the Earth. It consists
of a set of complex systems that collect data from satellites and
in-situ sensors, process this data and provide users with reliable and
up-to-date information on a range of environmental and security issues.
The data collected by Copernicus is made available freely following an
open access policy. Information extracted from Copernicus data is
disseminated to users through the Copernicus services which address six
thematic areas: land, marine, atmosphere, climate, emergency and
security. We present a demo from the Horizon 2020 Copernicus App Lab
project which takes big data from the Copernicus land service, makes it
available on the Web as linked geospatial data and interlinks it with
other useful public data to aid the development of applications by
developers that might not be Earth Observation experts. Our demo targets
a scenario where we want to study the “greenness” of Paris
