SORRY FOR CROSS POSTING
Your possibility to use and contribute to the
G7 Global Environmental Information Locator Service (GELOS)
http://ceo.gelos.org
We would like to bring to your attention the G7 ENRM project which forms
part of the G7 Information Society project. The ENRM project aims at
providing a virtual library - one component of which is a centralised
clearinghouse for Environmental Information worldwide - and to promote
discussion and collaboration between the Environmental Institutions of
the world.
In seeking to initiate the ENRM project the G7 ENRM consortium has set
up
a prototype information server, hosted by the European Commission's
Centre for Earth Observation (CEO). This Global Environmental
Information
Locator Service (GELOS) is a centralised database of selected
Environmental Information resources worldwide, and is open to
contributions of records from any source. GELOS currently contains more
than 1300 registered users, 1150 resources and nearly 100 ENRM related
future events.
The GELOS virtual library (http://ceo.gelos.org) allows users to
register, search and access information within the GELOS virtual library
but also within other remotely held databases. Information on people,
events and other ENRM related resources can be found via free text,
keyword and geographical search mechanisms. Registered GELOS users are
given the possibility to submit a home-page but also any other
information that is of relevance to the ENRM project. Most important of
all: THIS SERVICE IS AND WILL REMAIN FREE OF CHARGE!
In order to ensure the success of the GELOS virtual library, and of the
ENRM project as a whole, we are looking for contributors of information
pointers or metadata records. If you have an online database, an
environmental project or event - or just a document that you wish people
to know about - we would like to encourage you to register with the
GELOS virtual library and submit this information. A process that does
not take up too much of your time while adding a new dimension to your
environmental interests. Detailed online help information is also
provided. Please note also that you will always remain the owner of the
information provided, you can amend, alter or even delete a GELOS record
if you wish to do so. One of the goals of the GELOS server is namely to
provide users, organizations and governmental bodies with a centralised
platform on which to freely advertise their datasets and information.
If you have already registered on the ENRM, then please take a new look
at the now operational GELOS system - all your details are taken over.
Otherwise if you are a newcomer then you are invited to register.
