A Bottom-up Approach for the Identification of Requirements and ICT solutions for Environmental Information Sharing

European directives and policy communications have been launched with the objective of simplify the sharing of environmental data. The paper proposes a method for comparing heterogeneous information systems to provide input to the development of ICT solutions and best practices for a high level policy. The approach starts by referring to the priorities of the current initiatives that should be supported by a bottom-up collection of good practices and existing systems. High level models of the business processes that are supported by these systems are created to allow compari-son and giving, at the same time, a bottom-up vision on the policy. The ap-proach has been applied in the context of the European project NESIS to provide input for a proposal of ICT guidelines for SEIS initiative.
