>We would like to bring to your attention the G7 ENRM project which forms
>part of the G7 Information Society project. The ENRM project aims at
>providing a centralised clearinghouse for Environmental Information
>worldwide and to promote discussion and collaboration between the
>Environmental Institutions of the world.
>
>In seeking to initiate the ENRM project the G7 ENRM consortium has set up
>a prototype information server, hosted by the European Commission's
>Centre for Earth Observation (CEO). This Global Environmental Information
>Locator Service (GELOS) is a centralised database of selected
>Environmental Information resources worldwide, and is open to
>contributions of records from any source. GELOS currently contains more
>than 1300 registered users, 1150 resources and nearly 100 ENRM related
>future events.
>
>The GELOS virtual library (http://ceo.gelos.org) allows users to
>register, search and access information within the GELOS virtual library
>but also within other remotely held databases. Information on people,
>events and other ENRM related resources can be found via free text,
>keyword and geographical search mechanisms. Registered GELOS users are
>given the possibility to submit a home-page but also any other
>information that is of relevance to the ENRM project. Most important of
>all: THIS SERVICE IS AND WILL REMAIN FREE OF CHARGE!
>
>In order to ensure the success of the GELOS virtual library, and of the
>ENRM project as a whole, we are looking for contributors of information
>pointers or metadata records. If you have an online database, an
>environmental project or event - or just a document that you wish people
>to know about - we would like to encourage you to register with the
>GELOS virtual library and submit this information. A process that does
>not take up too much of your time while adding a new dimension to your
>environmental interests. Detailed online help information is also
>provided. Please note also that you will always remain the owner of the
>information provided, you can amend, alter or even delete a GELOS record
>if you wish to do so. One of the goals of the GELOS server is namely to
>provide users, organizations and governmental bodies with a centralised
>platform on which to freely advertise their datasets and information.
>
>If you have already registered on the ENRM, then please take a new look
>at the now operational GELOS system - all your details are taken over.
>Otherwise if you are a newcomer then you are invited to register.
>
>For further information regarding the GELOS server, please contact the
>GELOS Administrator at: ENRM-Admin@jrc.it
>
>If you require more information about the G7 ENRM project, please do not
>hesitate to contact Larry Enomoto, project coordinator, NASA, USA at:
>lenomoto@nesdis.noaa.gov.
