Abstract

The purpose of this module is to support Professionals and End Users, who will be interfacing directly with the LIFE+IMAGINE platform, in understanding how the services work and taking the best advantage from them.

This module is an user guide for the LIFE+IMAGINE services describing each of the provided services in terms of how to properly use them, what kind of input is requested and what kind of output is expected.
Structure
The module is divided into one training component per service, plus an introductory section. Each service is described in detail and instructions and guidelines are provided in order to guide the user on how to use them. Here follows the list of service components:

  1. Data Access service

    2. The objective of this training component is to acquire the know-how on the basic concepts of data access service provided by the LIFE+IMAGINE service platform. Data access services are one of the most important key-point of the LIFE+IMAGINE project. This component provides the entire documentation on INSPIRE compliant data access service (e.g. WMS INSPIRE and WFS INSPIRE), including practical examples.

  2. Web processing service

    3. The component on Processing Services describes the structure and the way to operate of the different web processing services implemented in the LIFE+IMAGINE infrastructure. Each processing service will have its own section with a dedicated description of inputs, outputs and operations to be performed.
Learning outcomes

After the completion of the module, the learner will be able to describe the structure of the service and the flow of operations that it performs; to introduce the kind of activities and outcome products that can be provided by each service as well as its constraints and limitations of use; to explain how to exploit operationally the various LIFE+IMAGINE services.
