The information is specific per submitted reporting envelope and not per obligation/agreement. Description From INSPIRE perspective, an AbstractMonitoringFeature requires the provision of ISO 19156 compliant observations & measurements only in the case that these have been required by a legal reporting obligation or a commonly agreed voluntarily data flow using INSPIRE EF dataspecification for the definition of datastructure. -- Definition -- LegalAct which is reported to. -- Definition -- Time of reporting. -- Definition -- Link to the reported data set according to the date indicated in the attribute reportDate. -- Definition -- Indicates whether an observation is required for the AbstractMonitoringFeature. -- Definition -- Indicates whether the observingCapability is required for the AbstractMonitoringFeature. -- Definition -- Additional information on the actual data reported. -- Name -- environmental monitoring programme -- Definition -- Framework based on policy relevant documents defining the target of a collection of observations and/or the deployment of AbstractMonitoringFeatures on the field. Usually an Environmental Monitoring Programme has a long term perspective over at least a few years. -- Definition -- EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity(s) triggered by the EnvironmentalMonitoringProgramme. ef:setUpFor -- Name -- abstract monitoring feature -- Definition -- An abstract base class for environmental monitoring features in the real world (EnvironmentalMonitoringNetwork, EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility). -- Description -- -- Definition -- Information on the involvement of the AbstractMonitoringFeature in reporting. -- Definition -- Observation of emissions, of the state of environmental media and of other ecosystem parameters (biodiversity, ecological conditions of vegetation, etc.) by or on behalf of public authorities at this AbstractMonitoringFeature. -- Definition -- EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity(s) in which the AbstractMonitoringFeature is involved. ef:uses -- Name -- environmental monitoring facility -- Definition -- A georeferenced object directly collecting or processing data about objects whose properties (e.g. physical, chemical, biological or other aspects of environmental conditions) are repeatedly observed or measured. An environmental monitoring facility can also host other environmental monitoring facilities. -- Description -- NOTE 1: An EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility is not a facility in the common INSPIRE sense realised by the Generic Conceptual Model class ActivtiyComplex. NOTE 2: Laboratories are not EnvironmentalMonitoringFacilities from an INSPIRE perspective as the exact location of the laboratory does not add further information to the measurement. The methodology used in the laboratory should be provided with observational data. -- Definition -- Representative location for the EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility. -- Description -- -- Definition -- Regime of the measurement -- Definition -- Indicate whether the EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility is mobile (repositionable) during the acquisition of the observation. -- Definition -- Source of result acquisition -- Definition -- Categorisation of EnvironmentalMonitoringFacilities generally used by domain and in national settings. -- Description -- EXAMPLE: platform, site, station, sensor, ... -- Definition -- Lifespan of the physical object (facility). -- Definition -- Any Thematic Link to an Environmental Monitoring Facility. The association has additional properties as defined in the association class AnyDomainLink. -- Definition -- A link pointing to the EnvironmentalMonitoringNetwork(s) this EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility pertains to. The association has additional properties as defined in the association class NetworkFacility. ef:contains -- Name -- network facility -- Definition -- Link between EnvironmentalMonitoringNetwork and EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility. -- Definition -- Time period of the link. -- Name -- environmental monitoring network -- Definition -- Administrative or organisational grouping of EnvironmentalMonitoringFacilities managed the same way for a specific purpose, targeting a specific area. Each network respects common rules aiming at ensuring coherence of the observations, especially for purposes of EnvironmentalMonitoringFacilities, mandatory parameters selection, measurement methods and measurement regime. -- Definition -- Level of legal organisation the EnvironmentalMonitoringNetwork is affiliated with. -- Definition -- A link pointing to the EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility(s) included in this EnvironmentalMonitoringNetwork. The association has additional properties as defined in the association class NetworkFacility. ef:belongsTo --Name -- hierarchy -- Definition -- Hierachical link between AbstractMonitoringObjects. -- Definition -- Time period of the link. -- Name -- observing capability -- Definition -- Explicit capability of an AbstractMonitoringObject. -- Definition -- Describes the time period that observations can be expected from this AbstractMonitoringObject. Can be only a start time for running measurements or an interval. -- Definition -- The type of object used for describing the process. -- Definition -- State of the provided result. -- Definition -- A link to an external document providing further information about an ISO 19156 'Observations and Measurements' compliant data model used to store or exchange Observations and Measurements acquired. -- Definition -- Link to the Process used to generate the result. The OM_Process shall be suitable for the observed property. As a corollary, details of the observed property are constrained by the procedure used. -- Definition -- This feature is the real-world object whose properties are under observation, or is a feature intended to sample the real-world object -- Definition -- The property being observed or measured at this AMO. -- Name -- environmental monitoring activity -- Definition -- Specific set of AbstractMonitoringFeatures used for a given domain in a coherent and concise timeframe, area and purpose. Usually the information collected is treated as one time step in a long term monitoring programme. It is a concrete realisation of a given EnvironmentalMonitoringProgramme. -- Description -- For example a vessel could be equipped with a collection of EnvironmentalMonitoringFacilities for a given campaign (= EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity) fulfilling an EnvironmentalMonitoringProgramme requirements. Then, after a given period this exact same vessel could be equipped with another set of EnvironmentalMonitoringFacilities for another campaign fulfilling another EnvironmentalMonitoringProgramme requirements. -- Definition -- Lifespan of the EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity. -- Definition -- Textual description of the EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity. -- Definition -- Bounding box in which the EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity takes place. -- Description -- EXAMPLE: If a research vessel has several monitoring activities (EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity) one wants to know where he cruised for each of those (EnvironmentaMonitoringActivity). -- Definition -- Responsible party for the EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity. -- Definition -- External object identifier. -- Definition -- A link to an external document providing further information on the EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity. -- Definition -- EnvironmentalMonitoringProgramme(s) for which the EnvironmentalMonitoringActivity is set up. ef:triggers -- Name -- operational activity period -- Definition -- Corresponds to a period during which the EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility has been up and running. -- Definition -- Lifespan of the OperationalActivityPeriod. -- Name -- any domain link -- Definition -- Any domain relevant link to an EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility that is not hierarchical or associated with a notion of genealogy. -- Definition -- Additional information on the domain link.
