Abstract

In the field of environmental sciences, collaborative research is often a necessary approach to join the required technical and human resources which are located in different sites. The information and communication technologies (ICT) can provide effective tools for enabling such cooperation through the development of a dedicated computer and network infrastructure (CNI). In this paper a case-study relative to the collaboration between two research centers in the south of Italy is presented and discussed. The design and development of a new infrastructure providing specific services dedicated to the geo-spatial data interoperability in the context of a land degradation application is described
