Quality assured time series of monitoring data from eLTER sites throughout the continent will be registered and uploaded into the central catalogue (CC) and, thereby, made available for Virtual Access (VA) through eLTER. Emphasis will be put on legacy data related to priority Standard Observation variables (Task 3.1). Site operators are partly beneficiaries, partly not. The former will be eligible for funding of the working time associated with e.g. formatting data and providing required metadata. In each country represented in eLTER, one beneficiary acts as National Coordinator (NC) who will oversee the collection of data from various sites in their country. Considering experiences and key findings of the H2020 eLTER Starting Communities concerning bottlenecks in VA and related data workflows caused by lacking training, the WP7 team will, in collaboration with WP5, conduct a series of regional trainings and provide online instructions via webcasts for site operators to explain not only the process of contributing to the eLTER CC, but also possible utilization of the eLTER services and their resulting benefits from the collaboration to achieve consortium wide contribution.
