This paper previews a landscape where integrated modelling activities are performed in a virtual environmental information space, and identifies challenges imposed by the nature of integrated modelling tasks and new technology drivers such as sensor networks, big data and high-performance computing. A set of requirements towards a universal framework for sharing environmental data and models is presented. The approach is demonstrated in the case study of a semantic modelling system for wildlife monitoring, management and conservation. %G English %Z TC 5 %Z WG 5.11 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01328522/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01328522/file/978-3-319-15994-2_2_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01328522 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01328522 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC5 %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-AICT-448 %~ IFIP-WG5-11 %~ IFIP-ISESS
