The pilot and GMP Data warehouse provides three outcomes:

Updated multilevel database with expanded datasets on toxic chemicals (persistent organic pollutants) in environmental and biological matrices and visualization portal showing large sets of global data available at https://data.pops-gmp.org/2020/all/#/gmp3/spatial-distribution

• Earlier/intermediate versions: Global Monitoring Plan Data warehouse (GMP DWH) launched first in 2011, upgraded in 2014, available on www.pops-gmp.org with further updates
• a new version 2020 for data management and visualization is fully implemented and accessible here: https://data.pops-gmp.org/2020/all/#/gmp3/spatial-distribution
• Further updates need to be made every six years the latest.

Web based outputs comprising global POPs data from visualization platform modules: spatial distribution maps, data availability charts (organized per time or parameter or site), summary statistics charts, time series analysis and trend description, summary charts, tables. In addition to visualization tools exports of data are also possible (.csv), charts, maps and tables are downloadable as .png or .pdf. These data exports are used in the regional reports on POPs occurrence and trends to support the decision making in chemical management and disease/health control.

Electronic web-based tool showing global data on POPs in air, human milk/blood and water

GMP DWH (pops-gmp.org) is a web based application, accessible via a web browser. In addition, it is also accessible via GeoNetwork (Welcome - GEOSS (geoportal.org))

The GMP Data Warehouse (GMP DWH) is an online tool developed for handling persistent organic pollutants (POPs) monitoring data generated in the frame of the Global Monitoring Plan (GMP) under the Stockholm Convention on POPs. Its objective is to support joint interpretation of global POPs data and assessment of related human risks. Secondly, the tool supports the decision making and implementation of the policy mandate -  effectiveness evaluation of implementation of policy measures of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants and LRTAP Convention. Finally, third objective is to increase the availability and quality of information needed to track persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and anticipate changes in the global environment through harmonizing metadata production, archiving and sharing. Outputs of the GMP DWH serve in preparation of the five regional monitoring reports under the Stockholm Convention and in the development of the effectiveness evaluation report every six years.

Main users of the service/tool are Secretariats and Parties to the Stockholm, Basel, Rotterdam, and CLRTAP Conventions, policy makers, governments, state and regional authorities, industry, IGOs, NGOs, scientific community.

GMP DWH is the outcome of the GEO Initiative GOS4POPs

POPs data will be visible via GEOSS (GEONetwork), but the tool (GMPDWH) is developed, operated and hosted by the Masaryk University.

Pilot registration is part of Sprint 1 challenge #7. Full set of GMP3 data have been shared with GEO through GEOSS Portal (Welcome - GEOSS (geoportal.org)

• GMP DWH is also implemented via GEO Initiative GOS4POPs.
