Theme
Set up a persistent test-bed for geospatial web service interoperability research, within the EU. This test-bed should be in accordance with the current OGC standards and include a variety of data sources and services for discovery, access, processing and visualisation of geodata.
By setting up this test-bed, we want to create a distributed but integrating platform for all facets of geospatial interoperability research. Research areas of interest include e.g.:
• OGC web service interoperability
• Implementing web geoprocessing
• Semantic interoperability in GI discovery and retrieval
• Combining semantic web technology (e.g. OWL-S, WSMO) with geospatial services
