We, the National Centre for Environmental and Nature Conservation Information, develop the portal umwelt.info which acts as central access point to all of Germany’s knowledge on the environment and nature protection. We integrate all openly accessible sources from municipalities, to federal states, civil society, economy and sciences into one flexible catalogue. This catalogue at its core will make it easier to find and share all kinds of data and information, like web applications, research data, or editorials. Here, we want to present our approach on how to combine this diverse data ecosystem into one searchable catalogue. Our approach is to develop an open-source software, where everybody can contribute to the development. We want to give insights into our development process, both in our front- and back-end.
To support the open data community, we offer a native API, as well as an emulated CKAN interface. Furthermore, we create editorials and scripts about data availability with a current focus on water-related data sets in Germany. These products aim to help scientists to gain easier access, as well as information on reusability. Our current product can be found at https://umwelt.info and our current development stage at https://gitlab.opencode.de/umwelt-info .
