Abstract.
Regarding the increasing number of GMO, a large amount of different types of data from various sources will be accumulated. Expected amount and quality of data emphasises the need for a respective information system to efficiently process and evaluate monitoring data. A concept for such an Information System for the MOnitoring of GMOs (ISMO) has been developed for the German Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN). The aim of the system is to support the competent authorities, especially the BfN, with their tasks in the notification process and the post market analysis of environmental effects.
This paper will focus on the conceptual background as well as on components and structure of the information system to be developed.
