2 Siberia environment reaction on Global Change as well as its possible influence on operation of the whole Earth system is one of hot topics nowadays. A number of national and international projects devoted to different aspects of this theme are performed now. These projects involve multidisciplinary teams located in different geographic places. Significant input into understanding of dynamics of Siberia environment is getting from Interdisciplinary integrated projects funded by SB RAS. Both basic and applied environmental researches in this area require and produce a lot of environmental data and badly need in their handling. Till now not all of gathered data are properly structured and organized. Also an access to this kind of data is not formalized yet. That is why recently SB RAS has initiated development of consisted environmental data policy.

3 In this paper we describe the state of the art with environmental information resources in SB RAS with special emphasis on developed information system on biodiversity ( ) and web portal on atmospheric and environmental sciences ATMOS ( and ) and provide details on the adopted strategy and the first steps chosen for its execution realization. In particular the dedicated centers aimed at support, handling and dissemination of thematic environmental data and chosen to this end IT tools will be presented as well as plans for development of relevant metadata databases.

12 The state of the art in SB RAS There are examples of matured environmental Information systems. There is involvement into large Projects on development of distributed information and computational environment ( Meta- DataGrid, GLORIAD), HOWEVER Privatization of data by groups of investigators Old traditions and technologies of data storage and lack of legal norms for data exchange.

31 OBJECTIVES To develop of corporative information-computational system as distributed information infrastructure (instrument) of regional environment study To elaborate relevant standards for data formats, storage and access The system should be accessible via Internet and be open for SB RAS researchers, providing them with environmental data, models and relevant information resources It should be integrated into national and international environmental information resources. SB RAS concept on environmental data handling, storage and access
