Introduction to DPSIR Framework
Han Wang
March 9th, 2012
What is it?
• A strategy for Integrated Environment Assessment (IEA) adopted by European Environment Agency (EEA)
• As an approach to manage environmental problems, it presents:– indicators needed to enable
feedback to policy makers on environmental quality
– resulting impact of the political choices made, or to be made

Example
• Water resource management– State of waters
• How is it? (nutrients, pesticides, heavy metals, …)• How much is there? (runoff, availability, demands, …)
– Time trends• Getting better or worse?• Within or outside agreed limits?
– What is causing the problems?– Pressures on the environment
• Human• Industrial• Agricultural
– State of actions or policies• Are they working towards targets?

Informatics & Semantics
• Informatics provides interoperability among diverse and heterogeneous data and information sources
• Semantic web technologies capture knowledge from data
• DPSIR domain ontology
• Information products (figures, tables) are produced to present the elements of DPSIR
