As a cornerstone of its lasting legacy, the ARSINOE project has developed a sophisticated suite of integrated digital tools designed to make complex climate data accessible, understandable, and actionable for a wide range of users. This digital ecosystem, comprising the Data Catalogue, the Knowledge Graph, and the ARSINOE Dashboard, represents a significant outcome of the project, empowering stakeholders to build a more climate-resilient future.
The Foundation: The ARSINOE Data Catalogue
At the base of the ecosystem is the Data Catalogue, a comprehensive and meticulously organised repository. It includes all 98 datasets generated and utilised throughout the ARSINOE project. To ensure long-term accessibility and adherence to open science principles, the catalogue is fully connected and synchronised with Zenodo, a trusted open-access repository. This provides a reliable and permanent home for the project’s invaluable data assets. Watch the video to learn more. Access to the data catalogue here.
The Intelligence Engine: The Knowledge Graph
The true innovation lies in the Knowledge Graph, which transforms the project’s vast information from a simple data-centric collection into a rich, knowledge-centric network. It integrates diverse data points, linking project datasets with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), third-party indicators, existing policies, innovative solutions, case study specifics, and climate hazards. This interconnected web of information is designed to serve a broad audience, from the scientific community and educational organizations to policymakers and a variety of end-users. Its potential applications are vast, enabling advanced data exploitation, visualization, participatory modeling, and analysis.

The User Gateway: The ARSINOE Dashboard
All of these powerful components are brought together in the ARSINOE Dashboard. This central hub acts as the main gateway for users, gathering all the digital tools developed and tested within the project into one intuitive interface. From the dashboard, users can access specialized tools like the risk assessment tool and the cascading failure engine, making it a one-stop-shop for exploring, analyzing, and applying ARSINOE’s digital innovations. More information about this tool will be published on the ARSINOE website.
Together, these tools form a powerful legacy, ensuring that the knowledge and data generated by ARSINOE can be used to drive informed decision-making and climate action for years to come.
