“…One can mention references in (Ackland et al 2005) where an Australian Web-based service is suggested whose role is to assist water resource managers in taking the best decision and reduce risks. Other references (Crimi et al 2006) and (Khawlie 2006) discusses the data availability with respect to water In general the goal of this research paper is to discuss the process of implementing an online meta-database as part of the WP4.…”

Water is a very crucial natural resource in the world and because of its selective availability among different countries; it will be the most precious commodity in the future. In the Mediterranean basin one can find a mosaic of countries rich in water and others poor. However, the common issue for all these countries is how to improve water resources management. ], which is a co-ordination action funded by the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Program, aims to contribute to the achievement of improved governance and planning in the field of sustainable water management. In order to achieve this goal, DSS tools which can ease the problem of accessing information about an Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) for decision makers, scientific community, and other organizations must be created. An online database is one of these tools which can help in creating an IWRM. This tool can reduce information redundancy, eliminate unneeded expenses, and create regional cooperation in the area of water resources management. In this paper a new Web based meta-database about climate, remote sensing, and Geographic Information System (GIS) related to water resources management is introduced, and its role in improving water resources management is discussed.

“…Section 3 describes the XACML access control model and how we applied it to this problem. In Section 4 we outline the standard model for RBAC, 1 The Health Data Integration™( HDI™ ) system are trademarks of CSIRO for a system derived from the HDI system described in this paper and in the referenced literature and it has a somewhat different architecture from the version described. HDI™ was developed by the e-Health Research Centre (http://e-hrc.net.au).…”

“…The Health Data Integration™ (HDI™) project [1], [3] at CSIRO ICT Centre has been developing technology which allows the linking, integration and analysis of population-based health data held by disparate data custodians for public health research. In a climate of increasing concern for individuals' privacy and confidentiality, and in the face of a growing body of legislation and codes of practice governing the use of personal and health data, it is essential that the HDI technology have strong and flexible security and privacy safeguards 1 .…”

We describe the implementation of role-based access control in a data service integration system. Users in research or other projects may access a diverse collection of data sources but are to allowed access to only the part of the data collection that is necessary for their purposes. To simplify the administration of the access control, Role Based Access control is used, with the role hierarchy defined within and limited to each project. User queries to the integration system are analysed for their data access needs and those needs checked against the access control policies. The policies for the data held by individual data custodians can be managed and implemented by the custodian, or held in a central authorisation server in the integration system. The system is built around the Security Assertion Markup Language and eXtensible Access Control Markup Language standards. The access control architecture was developed for a health data integration system, but both the architecture and some of its components for authentication and authorisation could be readily reused in other similar systems.

“…Though Web services (WS) technology as the most commonly used implementation of traditional SOA reduces the number of point-to-point adapters because every interface is based on WS Description Language (WSDL), it still leaves open the question of semantic interoperability of these interfaces. That is why recently a major effort has been invested in semantic extensions of SOA known as Semantic SOA allowing for scalable and controlled EAI [2][3][4].…”
