WG1: DATA AND KNOWLEDGE

The work in WG1 focuses on the utilization of data sources, expert knowledge, empirical data, NFIs, remote sensing data, big data for quantifying ecosystem services. It will result in reports on data types, data sources, data quality, verification and validation of data and knowledge to assist overall system design, quality control, integration, sharing, and use in planning process. It will deal with the data structure and architecture to build a spatial database system. It will address innovative approaches for data extraction from forest inventory/NFI, use of monitoring systems such as Remote sensing, as well as traditional knowledge sources (e.g. project results, scientific publications).
