The linkER toolbox makes available a set of products from different sources. In the following figure, the interface for catalogue search is shown where different catalogues can be queried in order to access different data sources.

Depending on the service (SAFER, G-MOSAIC, Local Catalogue etc.), there will be different capabilities provided. Of course SAFER services will provide capability to query and view metadata (Zoom To, View Metadata), visualise the product through a WMS service (Add) and download of data (Download).

Basically, the toolbox Users will have access to ERS products published by SAFER and then to the ERS products tailored by the National Focal Point to adapt them to the needs of its national Users.

Finally, the National Focal Point will have the possibility to register proprietary data and services, helpful for emergency management operations.

Moreover, when ERS products are published by SAFER, the National Focal Point can download them to adapt and customise them to further user needs.

The tailoring procedures included in the standard installation of the toolbox are:

• Change the projection of geodata
• Change the format and the geodata

The tailoring module provides a local programming interface that can be used to add new tailoring procedures on demand.
