In particular, Voluntary Groups(VGs) and individuals with interest in monitoringthe state of their local environment can be connected through the internet and collaboratively generate importantlocalised environmental observations. These could be considered as the Community Observatories(CO) of theFuture Internet(FI). However, a set of FI enablers are needed to be deployed for these communities to becomeeffective COs in the Future Internet. For example, these communities will require access to services for theintelligent processing of heterogeneous data and capture of advancend situation awarness about the environment.This important enablement will really unlock the communities true potential for participating in localisedmonitoring of the environment in addition to their contribution in the creation of business entreprise. Amongthe eight Usage Areas(UA) projects of the FP7 FI-PPP programme, the ENVIROFI Integrated Project focuseson the speciﬁcations of the Future Internet enablers of the Environment UA. The speciﬁcations are developedunder multiple environmental domains in context of users needs for the development of mash-up applicationsin the Future Internet. It will enable users access to real-time, on-demand fused information with advancedsituation awareness about the environment at localised scales. The mash-up applications shall get access to richspatio-temporal information from structured fusion services which aggregate COs information with existingenvironmental monitoring stations data, established by research organisations and private entreprise. Theseapplications are being developed in ENVIROFI for the atmospheric, marine and biodiversity domains, togetherwith a potential to be extended to other domains and scenarios concerning smart and safe living in the FutureInternet.References:ENVIROFI(2011-2013).
