The current document covers the activities related to WP 3.1 and more specifically the following tasks as described in Annex 1 “Description of Work (DoW)”: - Collection and synthesis of users requirements at the EU level (DG ENV, EEA, ETC-BD) including data requirements for Habitats Directive Art. 17(2), Streamlining European Biodiversity Indicators 2010 (SEBI2010) and other relevant European initiatives (e.g. The Mediterranean Wetland Initiative (MEDWET)). The goal of this task is to agree on the MS.MONINA EU service definition, expected outputs, the service function, in brief the service level agreement (tight cooperation with WP2) and its implementation roadmap by the project partners. - Assessment of the usability of Corine Land Cover (CLC), its derived products and the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) high resolution layer (HRL) products for biodiversity reporting. The original developments in Geoland2 and the implementation of the HRLs within the GMES Initial Operations (GIO) will be monitored and the new land cover products assessed using the consortium experience and expertise. - Proposal for a MS. MONINA EU service prototype: the general concept of MS.MONINA is defined in this document along with the service specifications and the functional architecture. This proposal is submitted to the end-users for analyzing the suitability of the proposed system and its feasibility.
