Development of a Framework for Data Harmonisation and Service Integration

Objective

The HUMBOLDT project aims to facilitate the harmonization of spatial data and metadata by automating the necessary processes as far as possible. The project commenced with a comprehensive state of the art analysis on related themes. The methods and tools for geodata and metadata management were investigated and evaluated. Suitable software architectures were described and basic user requirements documented.

Realization

HUMBOLDT will undertake a process analysis which will show the steps necessary to harmonize data and metadata. Finally, a software framework and diverse tools will be developed and integrated into the ESDI to support spatial data and service providers in offering standardized spatial information. An essential element of the project is the development of scenarios in which the different components are applied and tested under realistic conditions.
