9 Architectural concepts DOPA is a set of web services, of different flavours, that are ableto interoperate each discipline operates their specialized services (ehabitat, especies,...), accompanyingweb sites, sampleapplications applications and wikis transport and support documentation and should trigger and channel scientific discussion for each discipline use data provider services (IUCN, GBIF, Birdlife,...), where possible and acknowledge/propagate p g the use of their data in downstream services enable feedback of ground collected data (e.g. species absence in a protected area) use ofopen open standards, specifications andfree andopen source software to guarantee sustainability and secure project border crossing efforts

10 Component ehabitat Habitat modeling

11 Component ehabitat Similarity/probability modelling capacity accessible thru a web processing service. Main inputs: 1. One: reference or sample geometry (e.g. protected area (PA)), supplied asidof the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA), Well known text (WKT), geometry URL (WFS GetFeature, KML, GeoJSON,...) 2. Multiple: indicator layers (e.g. Temperature, precipitation,...), supplied as Web Coverage Service URLs or GetRecordByID URLs (e.g. from EuroGEOSS Broker)

12 Component ehabitat: 1# use case Forecast climatic similarity of protected areas - Climatic data current and forecast GCM downscaled at - Different resolutions 1km to ~20 km - Climatic variables from Holdridge s lifezones

13 Component ehabitat: 1# use case Protected Area biot, annual precip., PET/Rainfall Nowcast

14 Component ehabitat: 1# use case Protected Area biot, annual precip., PET/Rainfall Forecast

15 Component ehabitat: 2# use case WEB20 Broker GBIF Density WMS + Filter IUCN Species RedList JSON Birdlife Range WMS + Filter GBIF Taxon REST Service

16 Component ehabitat: 2# use case

17 Component ehabitat: 3# use case Discoverable and runable thru EuroGEOSS Broker Sensible question? Reasonible indicators?

18 Component ehabitat: 3# use case Discoverable and runable thru EuroGEOSS Broker Sensible question? Reasonible indicators?

19 Component especies Species distribution

20 Component especies process species data to compute a number of indicators on species compositions, species richness andirreplaceability providing end users with means to give feedback on the presence/absence of species, e.g. in protected areas query species services withvarying premises, like occurrence at a certain point occurrence ina certain PA occurrence in any polygon filter by taxonomy provided as OGC WxS and REST services

21 Component especies: #1 use case

22 Component especies: #2 use case

23 Component especies: #2 use case

24 Component especies: #2 use case

25 Component especies: #2 use case Habitat Replaceability Index (HRI) APAAT currently pre-calculated, with the same algorithm as ehabitat uses, with these indicator layers: Elevation, Slope Cover percentage Tree, Herbaceous, Bare Max. NDVI, NDWI Holdridge variables (BioTemp, Prec, EP ratio)
