Wuhan University Wuhan University dates back to Ziqiang Institute

founded in 1893 It was named National Wuhan University in 1928, and

was among the first group of national universities in modern China

In 1999, Wuhan University was rated as one of the most outstanding universities in China in the world famous journal “Science”

Top 10 university in China

Summary Environmental Information Sharing has already

started. Status: initial stage, to provide the public with basic

data of environmental information. Problem

Difficulty in national integration: every province has its own information publication system based own national standards; the national information integration is done vertically via excel sheets.

Difficulty in international integration: the data is recorded based national environmental standards, which are not a good fit for GEMET, and there is no mapping between them. Therefore, it leads to the difficulty of integrating Chinese environmental information with that of other GEMET-using countries.

Difficulty in utilization: other software systems is difficult to analyze and utilize the environmental data directly.

Difficulty in participation: it’s difficult to appeal individuals to participate the information sharing.

Summary Environmental Information Sharing has already started.

Status: initial stage, to provide the public with basic data of environmental information.

Problem: Difficulty in national integration, international integration, utilization, participation

Solution Standards Mapping and Extension

Formulate GEMET’s Chinese version, and make suggestions to enrich GEMET’s content according to Chinese national standards

Technology Promotion User- friendly interface should be established. apart from text format, well-defined languages, like XML, RDF

and OWL should be employed to express environmental information.

Environmental terminology’s ontology could be used to support logical reasoning on environmental information and aid users’ decision

An Example of Ontology: Rice

“growsIn”

“are”

“hasVariety”

“hasSynonym”

ISO/IEC 19763-3

With Ontology, we can get inference about

the relationship between the concepts in

an ontology

With ISO/IEC 19763-3, we can get accurate

information about the relationship between

concepts in different ontologies

“Software Component Repository” and its extensions, which are based on ISO/IEC 19763-3, has been widely

adopted by 240 enterprises in China

10 of which are “Top 500 Corporations in China”

Remark to ISO/IEC 19763-3 from KMSoft

Jin Zhang (General Engineer of KMSoft)： “…Seen from the light of application, ISO/IEC

19763-3 is beneficial for the communication

between end user and system analyzers. …We

marked the components with semantic

annotations. Then system analyzers can seek

the components according to user

requirements to create prototype system

rapidly. ….This method is proven much more

efficient than before….”

Invite WHU to join GEMET

ISO/IEC 19763-3 will be excellent in GEMET future application

Mr. Zhou Jian, Vice Minister, State Environmental Protection Administration

Invite SEPA/China

Invitation Letter from UNEP， 2009.12.23

Qinghua Xu, Director General, Dept of International Cooperation, MEP/China

Yolodymyr DemkineOfficer-in-Charge, Division of Early Warning and Assessment, UNEP

Invite MEP, with WHU responsible for the primary effort on the GEMET project.

1st China Environment Informationization Working Meeting

Jan 5th-6th, Beijing Co-sponsored by MEP and MIIT( Ministry of Industry and

Information Technology) Minister ZHOU Shengxian points out:

By 2015, China will establish an environmental informationization mechanism that is suitable for the environmental protection in the new era.

We’ll Construct an advanced and comprehensive “Digital Environmental Protection” system, to widely support the sharing and employment of the environmental information resources.

We’ll Establish catalog system and communication platform for environmental information resources, and forming the work layout as uniform management, distributed storage, co-operate and co-construct, and resources sharing.

We’ll improving information systems in business application, propelling the optimization and coordination of different modules of business application, and increasing the efficiency of environment management.

Today, environmental information sharing is been given weight by China’s government, which is a good opportunity.

The import Role GEMET has played in environmental sharing is obvious. The advanced state of the technology in GEMET has been widely recognized.

We are looking forward to contributing in the GEMET China Project, to improve China’s environment information sharing level as well as enhance the world-wide environmental information exchange, sharing and employment.

Future work LI Jian, the Secretary of WHU will try to get

contact with MEP high level Mr. ZHOU Jian, Mr. XU Qinghua… They will arrange official meeting on behalf of WHU in 2010

Gain support from MEP, begin GEMET translation work and provide revision advice based on China National Standards on environmental terms.

Apply ISO Standards to environmental terms administration

Ontology Administration (MFI-3) Provide environmental information services to satisfy

user requirements (MFI-5， -7， -8， -9) Build up Environmental Information Sharing Platform on

the basis of ISO Standards
