2 Geographic Information: Motivation, problem area GI is any information about the location and shape of, and relationships among, geographic features. This includes remotely sensed data as well as map data. (Open Geospatial Consortium) A highly relevant asset in many sectors and activities: earth sciences, real properties & land information, risk management, e-government, mobile enterprise, Focus area: combined geographic and traffic digital contents

3 Motivation, problem area A growing world of applications, an expanding market In-car navigation and route guidance Location-based services (e.g. tourism,...) Traffic management and control and infrastructures management Event management (e.g. disasters,...) Traffic and land use planning... Base data owned mainly by Public Administrations High potentials, but limitations to full exploitation e.g. poor accessibility: data organised and kept in different ways by the different owners poor interoperability: not compatible formats and data models lack of standardised interfaces

4 Research Objectives, a Definition Phase project under, to investigate, define and evaluate the feasibility of a technical infrastructure (data + services) and of the associated operational models allowing efficient combination of spatial and traffic data integration of data from different content servers over the internet access to these maps for different user categories support for VAS Experimental Use Cases Urban (Genoa, IT) Regional (Northrhine- Westphalia, DE) Content server Content server Content server

5 COSTE standard interfaces COSTE services The reference service/value chain Research approach, Methodology Content Provider Content Integrators Value Added Providers Operators End Users Admin. COSTE services (product management) Internet Internet Internet Police Urban TCC info / content COSTE integration Value Added provision DATEX-Net RDS/TMC Motroway TCC ALERT-C

6 Research approach, Methodology The reference application environment Meta-data server metadata registries COSTE Application server COSTE end-user services COSTE-enabled Applications Value Added s ( access to COSTE end-user services ) COSTE End-users COSTE standard interface (OGC, web services, ) COSTE Maps production services internet infrastructure COSTE standard interface (OGC, webservices, ) COSTE standard interface (OGC, webservices, ) COSTE standard interface (OGC, webservices, ) COSTE standard interface (OGC, webservices, ) Web Map Server (WMS) maps traffic mobility.. geographic data land use.. environment utilities & technological systems.. logical functional physical geographical distribution

7 Research approach, Methodology Key requirements and design decisions A truly, largely distributed environment functional / physical / organisational / geographical / distribution Data have to stay where they normally are at owner s premises! Make data (more) visible use of meta-data, registry/catologue services, An open service architecture framework an intrinsically dynamic context Relevant standards and SDIs initiatives GI: ISO/DIS 19xxx, OGC (ORM), GML (ISO/OGC), road/traffic: GDF (ISO/DIS 14825), DATEX, EU SDI Initiative INSPIRE

8 Costes Major Outcomes/Results A multi-service, open, middleware achitecture providing: Content Servers modular, geo/traffic engineering combined Information Products: CosteMaps, CosteProducts a set of web services ( Costes ) to support delivery of COSTE Information Products generate publish and make usable production of CosteMaps Products: CosteMaps Costes Customer COSTE Server

9 Major Outcomes/Results The COSTE reference contents & base services Reference Traffic infrastructure data Traffic data Parking data Public transport data Incident/Event messages work data Environment data Cultural/sport event data Weather data COSTE reference content areas Location Referencing Transformation Data Routing Portrayal Routing Portrayal OGC Web s Framework (OSF) COSTE reference services

10 Major Outcomes/Results The underlying OGC Web s Framework (OSF) Registry s Data s Portrayal s Processing s Digital Rights Management s (see Location Referencing Transformation Data Routing Portrayal Routing Portrayal Coste OSF Comment category COSTE Catalogue s Catalogue Implement read-type as well as write-type operations COSTE Sensor Collection s Sensor Collection Fully OGC compliant COSTE Data s Data Provide data access (data servers or DBs) COSTE Portrayal s Portrayal Map creation and manipulation.

11 Major Outcomes/Results Costes: service operation and chaining models Find Broker Publish Requestor Bind Provider Client Standard publish/find/bind pattern dynamic binding Chain 1. invoke service 2. invoke service Aggregate 5. service results 4a. invoke service aggregation base Costes combined into higher-level end-user services 3a. invoke service 3b. request input 4b. request input 4c. request input

12 Major Outcomes/Results: proof-of-concept Strategy Manager (mometec GmbH) TIC NRW NRW Public SurveyingAgency GDF (ii GmbH) Web Map Server (WMS) Aachen Düsseldorf COSTE Application server COSTE end-user services Bonn Comune di Genova Map s Genoa COSTE Maps production services interactive instruments GmbH Web Map Server (WMS)

13 Major Outcomes/Results : proof-of-concept Web Map Server (WMS)

14 Main conclusions Conclusion and outlook The Definition Phase project investigated fundamental needs in geo/traffic info market on-line integration of contents large impacts on apps/services Overall viability of the approach proven proof-of-concept larger scale demonstration Content analysis identified base requirements More work needed on common semantics geo/traffic ontologies Standards are fundamental!! ISO 19xxx, OGC, road/traffic (GDF, ) The (short term) future emotion Project: Europe-wide multi-modal on-trip traffic information FP6-DGTREN, to start early partners, 7 EU countries full service-value chain covered
