| Abstract |
Organising and sharing geothermal data was recognized by the Geothermal ERA-NET partner countries as playing an important role in facilitating geothermal energy development in Europe. In particular, one of the aims of the Geothermal ERA-NET project1 is dedicated to an assessment and feasibility study of the implementation of a European Geothermal Information Platform (EGIP). The envisaged EGIP is endowed with a web-portal access, by means of which European geothermal information can be accessed, retrieved and queried using modern ICT technologies, in particular collaborative e-Infrastructures. EGIP is a virtual platform, created through harmonized information, which goes beyond pure data sharing: it also involves the way and form how information and data are displayed, examined, and compared. A subset of the EGIP plan was implemented under the form of a pilot system (the EGIP pilot portal) and is the focus of this paper. |
