  • Spatial Data Infrastructures, a New Paradigm Within the Domain of Geospatial Information
    CONEIXEMENT I SOCIETAT 05 NOTES SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURES, A NEW PARADIGM WITHIN THE DOMAIN OF GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION. THE EXAMPLE OF THE CATALAN SPATIAL DATA INFRA- STRUCTURE PROJECT (IDEC) Jordi Guimet* This report presents the Catalan Spatial Data Infrastructure project (IDEC, Infraestructura de Dades Espacials de Catalunya). IDEC is driven by the Catalan government and is an applicable example of inter-operativity between systems in distributed geographic information, which enables data from different sources and environments to be combined and for several web services to be made available concurrently for processing purposes. These technologies are applied in spatial data infrastructures that have created a new paradigm within the context of geospatial information. The IDEC project is being used to prepare the way for further developments within this new dimension of interconnected information. Table of contents 1. The IDEC project. 2.

Effective disaster response requires a well-developed command and control framework that promotes the flow of information. The Sensor Web is an emerging technology concept that can enhance the tempo of disaster response.

The activities were conducted by Dr. George Percivall and Dr. John Evans, recognized leaders in the development of geospatial ISO TC211 and OpenGIS standards and spatial information systems. The purpose of the seminar was to inform working group members on available software development standards to enable geospatial interoperability between organizations. An expectation of the working group is that use of common software development standards among agencies will facilitate collaboration and sharing of data and software tools.

All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the institute. Abstract The recent developments in sensor, computing, communication and soft- ware technologies have brought about a new concept: the Sensor Web.A Sensor Web is a macro-instrument consisting of a heterogeneous, intelli- gent, spatially distributed sensors deployed to monitor and explore the envi- ronment. Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) initiative provides an infrastructural framework to integrate au- tonomous sensor webs into Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). The integra- tion of sensor web-based real/near real time information into SDI would culminate in a new level of spatio-temporal decision support for critical application scenarios for climate, natural resources, environment, disas- ter management, critical infrastructure protection, homeland security and emergency response issues.
