Organization of digital monitoring of the Baikal natural territory

Abstract The Baikal Natural Territory includes Lake Baikal, its water protection zone, the basin within the territory of the Russian Federation, adjacent specially protected natural areas, and also the territory adjacent to the lake up to 200 kilometers wide to the west and northwest of it. The development of decisions to solve environmental problems of Baikal Natural Territory should be based on a comprehensive analysis of the monitoring data. The monitoring data and analysis methods are distributed among participants (organizations and departments). But data and analysis methods exchange is very low. An approach is proposed for the introduction of digitalization in the environmental monitoring of the Baikal natural territory, based on the integrated implementation of cyber-physical systems, the digital method of data transmission, as well as the use of digital ecosystems and platforms using the service-oriented paradigm, OGC standards, end-to-end and WEB technologies, cloud and distributed computing, large amounts of spatio-temporal data. Based on service-oriented paradigm digital resources and processing services implementing REST or WPS standard should be created by the monitoring participants. Requirements for digital resources have been defined. Infrastructure components have been developed to simplify development of digital resources, processing services and to organize interaction among participants.
