Abstract
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.
