8 Data sources for the ECALP maps Background theme ECALP Prototype map of the pilot area based on existing data STEP 1 OF THE ECALP PROJECT: CENSUS OF EXISTING ECO-PEDOLOGICAL INFORMATION ON THE ALPS CENSUS OF THE PRODUCERS OWNERS OF EXISTING ECO-PEDOLOGICAL DATA (beginning 2004) ( Census and acquisition of existing data individuation of pilot areas highly representative of the whole alpine territory and it s characteristics. Individuazione dei contributori del dato, detentori del diritto d uso e accreditati come garanti della meta-informazione ) ECOPEDOLOGICAL MAP OF THE ALPS - 1: Prototype Version 1.0 8

9 AREA OF INVESTIGATION Alpine Territory (Alpine Convention) ECOPEDOLOGICAL MAP OF THE ALPS - 1: Prototype Version 1.0 9

10 Census of existing data Pedological data on the Alpine Territory and accessibility Database European Soil Database 1: Vector European Soil Database 1: Raster Ecopedological Map of Italy 1: (Only Italian side) Structural Atlas of the Alps (SUSTALP) National and local data of the institutions individuated for participating to the ECALP project (different spatial scale) Accessibility Not pubblic. Impossible to acquire Browsable only via SOMIS (JRC) The raster version with cells of 10 km is public and downloadable for free (eusoils.jrc.it) Accessible by agreement with the Italian Ministry of the Environment (based on few and sparse information on the alpine territory) Accessible by agreement with EURAC Maps all based on municipal administrative boundaries a lot of socio-economical and agronomic indicators (added to the CDRom only for completeness) Different situations - HETEROGENEITY ECOPEDOLOGICAL MAP OF THE ALPS - 1: Prototype Version

11 The first ECALP board Collaboration among Centro Studi, Unicatt, JRC, ARPA Veneto Group composed by: -almost 10 people -representatives of the entrusted institutions -Expert and scientists involved during the working progress Several meetings Shared solutions Soil and Waste Unit ECOPEDOLOGICAL MAP OF THE ALPS - 1: Prototype Version

12 Individuation and selection of the international contributors STEP 2 OF THE ECALP PROJECT: Setup and application of the prototype exchange format inside representative pilot areas and definition of the prototype database Proposal of 4 transboundary areas for the individuation of 8 pilot sites: Slovenia Friuli-Venezia Giulia Austria - Veneto Svizzera - Lombardia Francia - Piemonte ECOPEDOLOGICAL MAP OF THE ALPS - 1: Prototype Version
