Description

The large amount of datasets now available through innovative systems for Earth Observation (EO), such as the Copernicus Programme, have the potential to enable many value-added services that can be tailored to specific public or commercial needs, resulting in new business opportunities.
The exploitation of this extensive source of information is complex and requires the close collaboration of data consumers (scientists, industry and SMEs in the Information as a Service business), ICT experts and platforms operators (public and commercial) with advanced knowledge on Earth Observation systems and e-Infrastructures.
This session will present the current EGI collaboration activities on this topic, highlighting ongoing collaborations and the first results.

84. European E-infrastructure needs in the context of ESA's proposed EO Application Platform initiative

Dr Günther Landgraf (ESA-ESRIN - Head of Ground Segment Infrastructure Engineering Section, Directorate of EO Programmes)

The Dutch Green monitor makes use of, amongst others, DMC satellite imagery that is made available through the Dutch Satellite Data Portal. This portal was launched by the Dutch government as an incentive for the Dutch Remote Sensing community to create new markets and prepare themselves for the vast amounts of data that will become available with the launch of the different Sentinel...

85. Integration of the EGI Federated Cloud as a Cloud resource provider in ESA Geohazard and Hydrology Thematic Exploitation Platforms

Dr Cesare Rossi (Terradue)

TEISS (Thales Esa InfoaaS Stimulus) is a European Space Agency (ESA) stimulus project enabling Earth Observation data to build a value chain from science to business. ESA stimulus projects are short-term, focused initiatives designed to stimulate innovative technology development. The TEISS project aims to demonstrate that cloud resources can be accessed through the Helix Nebula Marketplace...

108. How EGI is supporting EO Services

Dr Emmanuel Mondon (AdviceGEO)

07/04/2016, 12:20

The Earth Observation (EO) community, like all the other communities, is deeply impacted by the digital economy. In fact, for the Earth Observation, we should speak about a revolution, rather than an evolution, as the required changes generated by the digital economy represent a real paradigm shift for all EO stakeholders, both public and private. EGI through its new EGI DataHub service is...
