Reports
EDO:
•Internet-based tool
•provides different types of information and tools
•at multiple scales
•through multiple indicators, including high level indicators targeted to decision makers

4. 4
Multi-scale approach that integrates drought information from various scales
Interoperability of drought information systems is required !
Multi-Scale Approach
 Continental
 sub-continental & national
 regional and local (RB)

How to join EDO
Drought Metadata Catalogue
Allows to share different types of information:
scientific and/or geographical data (raster or vector),
documents (field reports, bulletins, etc.),
web pages, or web services (e.g. mapping services or data delivery services).
Different free or commercial software products are available for composing metadata XML files.
The most suitable for EDO Drought Metadata Catalogue are:
- CatMDEdit (http://catmdedit.sourceforge.net/, free software product)
- INSPIRE Metadata Editor (http://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/editor/, free on-line tool).
Provide an XML document containing at least the mandatory fields to ensure ISO (19115, 19119, 19139) and INSPIRE compliancy.

How to join EDO
Drought Metadata Catalogue
Ask EDO team to upload
your XML document(s)
It will be immediately available in the Drought Metadata Catalogue

How to join EDO
Web Map Service (WMS)
If the metadata entry refers to a WMS (Web Map Service), used to deliver maps (images),
it can be temporarily displayed in the EDO MapViewer clicking the button in the result row
When you reset or close the MapViewer, the WMS is removed and you need to re-load it from the Drought Metadata Catalogue

15. How to join EDO
Web Map Service (WMS)
If you want to promote your data via WMS, you can also ask EDO team to register into the MapViewer one or more of your layers
as permanent layers
Once registered, you can see your layer(s) as one of the EDO layers
with legend, description and time selection options if needed
The layer is always available in the MapViewer’s Table of Contents,
without the need to select it from the Drought Metadata Catalogue

16. How to join EDO
WFS & WCS
If you have a WFS (Web Feature Service) to deliver vector data
or a WCS (Web Coverage Service) to deliver raster data,
you can ask EDO team to insert a link to your service
