ENERGIC OD Virtual hubs for Geospatial and Earth Observation Open Data

The general objective of ENERGIC OD (European NEtwork for Redistributing Geospatial Information to user Communities - Open Data) is to "facilitate the use of open (freely available) geographic data from di sources for the creation of innovative applications and services through the creation of Virtual Hubs". ENERGIC OD project is co-funded by the European Union under the Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme (CIP). Launched on October 2014, it addresses heterogeneous data accessibility and (re-)use by implementing an innovative broker architecture, designed and developed in recent research activities. This new technological approach implements interoperability supporting the diverse international and Community standards commonly adopted in the Earth Observation and geospatial information domains. This mediation and facilitating action results in a better exploitation of data and information by end users, public authorities, private organisations, and application developer.
