Developments in GIS and WWW technologies are providing new tools for finding and retrieving data over computer networks. Efficient organization of Remote Sensing Archives and open access to Data Bases are founded on the Web technology (access to data including data search and request). The main goal of the paper is to research techniques aimed at improving the accessibility of Russian Satellite Remote Sensing data. There are currently several large-scale efforts to build the distributed Digital Library of Space Data as comprehensive information Internet-based management system. Digital Library that is planned to provide: access data, search data, dissemination the resulting data. For many years Russia has been carrying out an extensive programme of Earth Observation using a range of satellite remote sensing instruments. Relevant missions include PRIRODA-MIR, RESURS and METEOR. However, despite the large volumes of Russian datasets generated by these systems they are not exploited as much as they could be, especially outside Russia. It is important that such potentially useful datasets are utilised to the maximum extent possible in order to achieve maximum cost effectiveness from the previous space investments and to justify future expenditure on new and continuing programmes. Improving the accessibility of Russian satellite data could make a very substantial contribution to Environmental Monitoring and Natural Disaster mitigation. The goal the creation of Digital Library is to build a Web-based information system that is loaded with Earth Observation data sets as well as tools to help user access the Earth Observation data. The development of satellite natural-resource information software targets the following problems: Real Time Earth Observation, thematic processing of Remote Sensing Data and filling in of the Digital Archive, ecological monitoring of the environment, ecosystem condition evaluation through space techniques, access to hydrometeorological data from around the globe. There are 7 partner organisations involved in the project, 1 from the UK, 1 from Italy and 5 from Russia. The IRIS is a consortium of researchers working together to develop distributed Digital Library for geterogeneous Earth Science Satellite Data. The tasks of IRIS Project are: § Improvement of the infrastructure of archive and data exchange systems for processing and distribution of optical, IR and microwave information. § To identify shortcomings in current technologies and provide inputs into the ongoing work of standards and co-ordinating bodies such as ISO TC211, CCSDS Panel2 and CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites). § To create new information databases and information services using the experience databases of IKI, IRE, IAPU and Institute Forest, of covering unique multi-year (1974-1994) optical and microwave aircraft and satellite measurements in North-West Pacific (IKI) together with similar data collected by IRE over the territory of the former Soviet Union and Europe. § To determine how best to provide users with prompt ecological and meteorological information available for environmental protection. § To investigate the forecast methods for natural and technogenesis phenomena based on optical, IR and microwave information from RESURS and METEOR satellites, in particular, forecast methods for large-scale atmospheric phenomena (e.g. hurricanes).
