Use Case Description LifeWatch project and initiative intends to provide integrated access to a variety of data, analytical and modeling tools as served by a variety of collaborating initiatives. Another service is offered with data and tools in selected workflows for specific scientific communities. In addition, LifeWatch will provide opportunities to construct personalized ‘virtual labs', also allowing to enter new data and analytical tools. New data will be shared with the data facilities cooperating with LifeWatch. Particular case studies: Monitoring alien species, monitoring migrating birds, wetlands LifeWatch operates Global Biodiversity Information facility and Biodiversity Catalogue that is Biodiversity Science Web Services Catalogue Current Compute(System) Field facilities TBD Solutions Datacenter: General Grid and cloud based resources provided by national e-Science centers Storage Distributed, historical and trends data archiving Networking May require special dedicated or overlay sensor network.
