eLENS-Portal is an advanced information system uniting Earth observation with the environmental law and legal domain to create novel and unique types of services. These services include:
- eLENS EO SERVICES, which provide an interface for the selection and set-up of Earth observation-based services that allows monitoring past and current environmental incidences. Further, an alert service will be offered allowing immediate information about violations.
- eLENS LEGAL SERVICES are used by legal-domain users for facilitating evidence collection within the legal sector.
- eLENS SOCIETY SERVCIES provide public information on environmental violations for citizens and authorities.
To enable the integration of the environmental and the legal domains eLENS MINER is developed as a specific semantic service. eLENS MINER enables automized analysis of text documents and extraction of Earth observation rules, with its functionality being applied across all eLENS SERVICES.
