Paper outlines current trends in environmental information
management in the Czech Republic specifically in the field of
environmental reporting systems. The paper also presents
selected results of two research projects Analysis and Design
of Environmental Data Models and External Czech Environmental
Information System Interfaces Compatible with the EU and
Proposal of Communication Framework with International
Environmental Information Systems. The paper furthermore
discusses the developed web based information system Central
Data Model which facilitates the management and monitoring of
the reporting activities that the Czech Republic demands.
During the development of environmental reporting (on national
and international levels) system the Unified Modelling Language
was used for process modelling and for the design. Results are
applicable not only in the area of public administration but
also in the field of business environmental communication and
environmental and sustainability corporate reporting. The
global central data model for environmental information
exchange and reporting purposes has been designed to perform
systematic attributing, thereby providing a basis for a central
output data warehouse to meet reporting obligations.
