Real life interoperability - Increasing the use of Earth Observation data

4S Symposium - Portorož - June 4th 2012

In the last decades, use of Earth Observation satellites data has grown considerably. In this context, Geospatial web services technology has provided a new means to provide easy and interoperable access to Earth Observation data. Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) services have been widely adopted in the Geosciences community, and particularly in the remote sensing community. These services bring seamless integration of heterogeneous ressources from small and big satellites and make Earth Observation data available to a wider range of public users than ever before. Focused on natural disasters management, this presentation will show how an innovative and efficient web application can take advantage of the power of interoperability to provide more complete data to the users

1. Jérôme GASPERI 4S Symposium - Portorož - June 4th, 2012 REAL LIFE INTEROPERABILITY Increasing the use of Earth Observation data
3. Small Satellites, Big Systems
4. 1m 2m 6m SST-100 Speaker SPOT 5
5. only data matter
6. The best data are useless if nobody can get them
7. Interoperability
8. Works in Portorož
10. We need to standardize !
11. format | describe | access files metadata services A readable one ! (e.g. JPG, TIF, HDF, etc.) A structured (e.g. XML) and standardized (e.g. HMA) description OGC Web Services W*S INTEROPERABILITY
12. Share maps WMS Share vectors WFS Share data WCS Search metadata CSW Geospatial Web Services
13. All these things done, we could seamlessly combine data from big or small satellites to provide more complete information to the users
14. A concrete use case International Charter "Space and Major Disasters" metadata catalog http://www.disasterschartercatalog.org
15. The Charter aims to provide a unified system of space data acquisition and delivery to those affected by natural or technological disasters [...] The agreement comes from the recognition that no single operator or satellite can match the challenges of natural disaster management.
