Geospatial information is vital for numerous activities and businesses:
Security, environment, insurance, logistics, etc.
Tracking and contextual information (context awareness)
Organisations collaborate, at a national and international level
Significant investments have been made in ICT systems for decades
Risk & Crisis Management: an example »
Recent studies show that the number of risks and crises is increasing on a global scale.
»
Disasters do not respect borders
»
Institutions depend on their information systems.
»
Problems due to:
Lack of interoperability
Inadequate use of standards
Insufficient access to information and data
Lack of common terminologies and, generally, of understanding.
Have as result: deficiencies in coordination and teamwork (vision, strategy, procedures, business models, etc.)
The current IT systems were not designed to work together Sevilla, 10 de febrero de 2010
ORCHESTRA – The Project Strategically
It is a strategic action by the European Commision, endorsed by OGC.
It is one of the building blocks of the future Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) in the EU
Objectives
To design and develop an open service architecture, based on standards (OGC, ISO, W3C) in order to ensure interoperability.
To develop relevant applications for various multi-risk, cross-border scenarios (there are 4 running implementations in Europe)
Spirit
Openness, flexibility and collaboration http://www.eu-orchestra.org
