Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for Geosciences is a multidisciplinary subject. It utilizes informatics and telecommunications technologies to facilitate the exploitation and the fruition of Earth Sciences results. The key objective is providing the Information Society with Earth Sciences resources, in a near-real-time and transparent way. The standardization process of Geospatial Information is extremely important for providing systems interoperablity and enable the development of effective Spatial Data Infrastructures. ESSI-Lab vision Our vision is based on the following main points: 1. accept present and future heterogeneity 2. share data and services according to your data policy 3. implement interoperability 4. adopt de-facto standards 5. think about (Web) services and resources 6. mediate models 7. adapts protocols 8. decouple components 9. reuse software ESSI-Lab activities

Proof of Concept We have prototyped several software artifacts (e.g. tools, services and MLs), freely available, to demonstrate the feasability and effectiveness of our vision. Try them! If you want to know more, please, contact us. GI-cat | It is a catalog of catalogs (i.e. a catalog broker) which implements data models mediation, services protocol adaptations and query and access distribution | | GI-go | It is a browser for a federation of Geo-servers (i.e. geo-information catalog and access servers); supported servers include: OGC WMS and WCS, THREDDS Data Servers, THREDDS/OPeNDAP servers, CDI catalog servers (e.g. MERSEA catalogs) | | WCS-G | It is an OGC WCS server implementation, which implements the entire data domain sub-settings and returns netCDF-CF data and/or ncML-GML documents | |
