摘要:This paper describes a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) based on a web GIS platform ‘Climate+’, which provides an access to analytic instruments processing 19 collections of meteorological and climate data of several international organizations. This environment provides systematization of spatial data and related climate information and allows a user getting analysis results using geoinformation technologies. The ontology approach to this systematization is described, making it possible to match semantics of meteorological and climate parameters presented in different collections and used in solving various applied problems.
