Project objectives

The main target of the project is to bridge the 1) top-down managed world of INSPIRE, Copernicus and GEOSS built by SDI experts and 2) the bottom-up mobile world of voluntary initiatives and thousands of micro SMEs and individuals developing applications (apps). SDI4Apps will secure that users profit from INSPIRE and INSPIRE profits from different voluntary initiatives. SDI4Apps will build a WIN-WIN strategy for building a successful business for for hundreds of European SMEs on the basis of INSPIRE, Copernicus and GEOSS.

Activities

  1. Integrate a new generation of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) based on user participation and social validation.
  2. Support easy discovery and accessibility of spatial data for everybody
  3. Link spatial and non-spatial data using the Linked Open Data principles.
  4. Support multilingualism of spatial data.
  5. Build scalable cloud based infrastructure for support of SDI initiatives and location based services (LBS).
  6. Integrate in-situ measurements and Earth observation data.
  7. Design open application programming interface (API) supporting integration of spatial data and LBS into applications
  8. Developed and deployed by non-GI developers.
  9. Integrate a demonstration set of pilot applications.
  10. Test new approaches for data sharing by users through pilot applications.
  11. Attract external developers (mainly from SMEs, students and researchers) to test the newly integrated platform.
  12. Organise contests for application developers supporting wider use of GI data.

Results

SDI4Apps will adapt and integrate experience from previous projects and initiatives to build a cloud based framework with open API for data integration, easy access and provision for further reuse. The solution will be validated through six pilot applications focused on easy access to data, tourism, sensor networks, land use mapping, education and ecosystem services evaluation.
