Geographical Information

This paper presents the first relevant results of the project BRISEIDE ‐ BRIdging SErvices, 7 Information and Data for Europe. BRISEIDE aims at providing operators with a time-aware 8 extension of data models and value added services for spatio-temporal data management, 9 authoring, processing, analysis and interactive visualization in several emergency-related 10 scenarios including, most notably, landslides. Within this context a number of WPSs devoted 11 to spatial analysis have been developed and integrated within existing open source 12 frameworks. Spatio-temporal processing services are exposed via the web and are made 13 available through compatible WebGIS applications. Through BRISEIDE, operators can 14 access processing services through an interactive web-based 3D GeoBrowser capable to 15 allow management, authoring, interaction, filtering of existing data. The 3D GeoBrowser 16 allows interactive orchestration of spatio-temporal WPSs providing support to chaining of 17 required processing units. This ensures interactive access to datasets and asynchronous 18 processing at the server side. The project mobilizes a value-chain of stakeholders to validate 19 the pilots from a technical, organizational and legal standpoint.
