However, establishing the dynamics of greenhouse gases (GHG) is very complex, especially for integrated production systems  such as silvopastoral, which are seen as alternatives to reduce GHG emissions (BERNDT,  2010). In this context, the PECUS Research Network - Greenhouse Gases Dynamics in Brazilian Livestock Production Systems - was created by Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation) in order to evaluate GHG dynamics in agricultural systems in six Brazilian biomes (Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, Pantanal, Pampa, Amazon and Cerrado), envolving more than 300 Brazilian and international researchers. The GeoPECUS - Geotechnologies Applied to Dynamics of Greenhouse Gases in Brazilian Agriculture - project has the responsibility to support PECUS with geotechnologies based on remote sensing, generating information which may subsidize the government in the creation of environmental and economically sustainable policies for agriculture.Geospatial data generation and storage capacity are growing as consequence of increased computational resources available to users from various sectors, including remote sensing (BAYMA-SILVA et al., 135WEB PLATFORM FOR GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION:APLICATIONS FOR GEOPECUS PROJECT2015). Researches in the environmental area apply geoprocessing and WebGIS (GIS system that uses web technologies) as powerful tools for spatial analysis and environmental management. According to Barriguinha (2008), the internet can be considered a privileged environment to make available large amounts of geographic information, expanding its access. A process for geospatial data organization is needed in order to make this type of information accessible and understandable to potential users.The National Commission of Cartography (CONCAR), through the work of its specialized committees, have set standards and rules to be adopted in the production and publishing of geospatial data and information by public institutions. Considering this, the Brazilian National Spatial Data Infrastructure (INDE) was instituted with the purpose of cataloging, integrating and harmonizing existing geospatial data in Brazilian government institutions. Thus, this data can be easily located, explored and accessed for various uses, by any client with access to the Internet. Geospatial data should be cataloged using their respective metadata, published by the producers/maintainers of such data. The coordination of this infrastructure is responsibility of CONCAR.The aim of this article is to describe and report how the GeoPECUS project is using the standards and rules established by the Brazilian National SDI to publish and organize the geospatial data produced by the PECUS Research Network.Material and MethodsFor the present project, it was used Embrapa Spatial Data Infrastructure, GeoInfo (Drucker et al. 2015) - Figure 1. One of its tools is Geonode (http://www.geonode.org), which is a web- based application and platform for developing Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and for deploying spatial data infrastructures (SDI). It is designed to be extended, modified and can be integrated into existing platforms. Considering this, Geonode was adapted in order to 136WEB PLATFORM FOR GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION:APLICATIONS FOR GEOPECUS PROJECTpresent all the fields recommended by CONCAR, especially in metadata information. CONCAR metadata specifications are based on widely adopted OGC standards, specially ISO-19115.A pattern in the attribute tables of the geospatial data was planned to allow that all experimental areas of the GeoPECUS project, which are the same of PECUS Research Network, have the same variables, so that it would be possible to make comparisons and other analysis. The geospatial data comprises detailed information about  the  produc-tion systems and vector archives of the experimental areas. It also comprises the orbital images of the experimental areas, from different satellites (Geoeye, Ikonos and WorldView),  ortoretified and added into GeoInfo as layers.Maps were elaborated in A0 format and uploaded as image files and attribute tables of the experimental areas were transferred to platform as documents. All metadata information was cataloged and is available in the platform as shown in Figure 2. Furthermore, it shows all tabs available in GeoInfo related to geospatial information.Figure 1. Main interface of GeoInfo: Embrapa Spatial Data Infrastructure137WEB PLATFORM FOR GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION:APLICATIONS FOR GEOPECUS PROJECTAll data previously reported was uploaded in this platform in its res-pective tabs, for example, “Layers” for the boundaries shapefiles and ortoretified images, “Documents” for the shapefiles’ table of attributes and A0 maps. In the tab “Maps”, maps were elaborated for therespective experimental areas, highlighting the production systems and  ortoretified images that were added as base to these layers. It is im-portant to highlight that the permission to download, visualize, edit a layer or metadata information is given by the platform user, accor-ding to the rules established by GeoInfo.Results and ConclusionsUntil now, it was uploaded information of twenty-three experimental areas of GeoPECUS project: files in vector format, table of attributes related to the experimental areas organized in spreadsheet format and also twenty-three maps related to these areas. Among these areas, six correspond to the Amazon Rainforest biome, six to the Cerrado bio-me, five to the Atlantic Forest biome, three to the Pampa biome, two to the Caatinga biome and one to the Pantanal biome. Thirty-five A0 Figure 2. Visualization of one layer example of geospatial information available in GeoInfo, highlighting the metadata link.138WEB PLATFORM FOR GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION:APLICATIONS FOR GEOPECUS PROJECTmaps were uploaded as image files, but not all areas were covered by A0 maps and some of them were covered by more than one. The GeoInfo platform contains not only  GeoPECUS  data  but  also  geos-patial  data  from  other  projects  (e.g.  Climatic Risk Zoning), which indicates that this web platform is an efficient tool to organize geoin-formation and disseminate this type of data to researches, who may seek references. Furthermore, it is a way to give publicity to the results achieved in the PECUS Research Network for the general population.ReferencesBARRIGUINHA, A. F.
