Enhancing Geo-Information for Sustainable Development

Enhance public awareness, industrial competitiveness, and public administration efficiency by improving access and management of geo-information. Focus on tourism, transport, intelligent systems, and environmental monitoring. Activities include GIS development, data gathering, decision-making support, and location-based services. Experiment with new business models and improve accessibility and usability standards. Support European Spatial Data Infrastructure and global initiatives. Types of actions include RTD projects, demonstration projects, thematic networks, and accompanying measures.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Objectives • to improve • citizens’ awareness and comfort • industrial competitiveness • efficiency of public administrations • by enhancing and supporting the use, access and management of geo-information • to contribute to the initiative, in particular • government on-line • citizen environmental awareness • intelligent transport systems

  2. Targeted domains Tourism, entertainment Transport, mobility Intelligent publishing and delivery mechanisms E-Map e-work, e-commerce Meteorology, environment Statistics

  3. Expected activities: GIS Development and validation of GI technologiese.g.: dynamic environments, interactive 3D/4D applications, augmented reality environments

  4. GI Services for Environmental Monitoring and Management Expected activities: GIS Data gathering Information Output Geo-Information Management System supporting decision making

  5. Expected activities: GIS development of engineering techniques for designing and providing generic spatial data services and s/w components based on standardised interfaces that can be reused and integrated in future (thematic) applications and other (usage) contexts (e.g.: location based services, m-commerce, …)

  6. Location-based services Focus: Design, develop and demonstrate location-based and/or mobile services…... …. for context-based information management, retrieval publishing and delivery in a variety of thematic applications

  7. Location-based services Fixed and wireless network technologies Rich multi-media content Location-based and mobile services use GI and related reference data integrating... Advanced sensors Global positioning systems Large database technologies and intelligent agents Earth observation systems

  8. New Business Models Focus: Experiment with new business models.... Stockholm Brussels …. for the production, distribution and usage of spatial data in mass market applications

  9. Standards Improvement of GI accessibility, usability, and exploitability: • metadata interoperablity • standards • semantic and ontological compatibility

  10.

  11. Types of action: RTD • Research and technological development (R&D) projectsto obtain new knowledge intended to develop or improve products, processes or services and/or to meet the needs of Community policies • Demonstration projectsto prove the viability of new technologies offering potential economic advantage but which cannot be commercialised directly • Combined R&D and Demonstration projects

  12. Types of action: supporting activities • Thematic Networksfor bringing together manufacturers, users, universities, research centres around a given Science and Technology objective, including co-ordination networks between Community funded projects • Concerted actionsActions co-ordinating RTD projects already in receipt of national funding, for example to exchange experiences, to reach a critical mass, to disseminate results, etc. • Accompanying MeasuresActions contributing to the implementation of a Specific Programme or the preparation of future activities of the Programme, also seeking to prepare for or to support other indirect RTD actions
