Abstract:
Most of the analyses of the Earth Observation (EO) service industry done in the last years show that the Value Added Companies produce the final deliverable with an enormous effort and have to deal with many data providers.
To overcome this problem and be ready to face new challenges - in particular set by the GMES perspective - ESA (European Space Agency) intends to integrate new EO services, from multiple sources and providers, into the Service Support Environment (SSE), a neutrally managed, open and distributed platform that streamlines the definition and prototyping of EO and Geospatial Information Services.
In order to maximize the return from this initiative, ESA invited current and potential Service Providers to a dedicated workshop to draw lessons learnt from previous experiences and prepare the next activities to come by looking at International scenarios and perspectives. To this effect the 2008 SSE SPs workshop was extended to host the Sensors Anywhere (SANY) (training) workshop.
The SANY/SSE training workshop primarily targeted the SSE developers community. The intention was to:
give a solid introduction on SensorSA;
show how SANY (e.g. catalogue, pre-processing, fusion, DSS, in-situ sensors...) services complement the existing EO services;
demonstrate the feasibility of data fusion between EO and in-situ sensors within SensorSA and SSE.
