Abstract
 The European Environment Agency Spatial Data Infrastructure Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure Author(s): Chris Steenmans The European Environment Agency (EEA), together with the Environmental Information and Observation Network (EIONET), is developing its spatial data infrastructure as an important geo-node of an environmental shared information system. Network services mainly based on Esri tools include, among others, geospatial data discovery, Web map viewers, geospatial reference data sharing and free download services. These services are contributing to the initiative for building an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe (INSPIRE). Environmental priority areas for development of the EEA system components and network services are air pollution, water management, land use, biodiversity loss and climate change. Special attention is given to integration of the data, architecture and services related to Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).
