SANY Sensors Anywhere

The INSPIRE Conference 2010 will take place from 23 to 25 June 2010 in Krakow, Poland. On 22 June pre-conference workshops will be organized. The theme of this year’s edition is "Spatial Data Infrastructure as a Framework for Collaboration".

The INSPIRE Conference will be organised through a series of plenary sessions addressing common policy issues, and parallel sessions focusing in particular on applications and implementations of SDIs, research issues and new and evolving technologies and applications and poster presentations.

Participation in the INSPIRE Conference is open to all individuals interested in or working in the field of SDI development and implementation. Abstracts must be received by the deadline will be considered for program placement under the standard review process.

Topics for which contributions are sought include, but are not limited to,

• INSPIRE Implementation: Legislative measures, coordination and organisational models
  
• INSPIRE and the global context: Global Monitoring for Environment and Security, Global Earth Observation System of Systems, United Nations SDI
  
• Thematic communities
  
• Licensing frameworks
  
• GeoPortals and registries
  
• Social and economic impacts
  
• Education and awareness raising
  
• Trans-national SDI projects (including EU (co-)funded projects)
  
• New policies, new requirements, new stakeholders
  
• New and Evolving tools and technologies

To date, the INSPIRE is mostly concentrating on Spatial data. However, the INSPIRE Annex
topics bring new challenges in the form of time-series of geo-referenced data.

The "INSPIRE/CAFE" reporting prototype that was co-developed by SANY SP4 sub project and the Austrian INSPIRE/CAFE prototype clearly demonstrates the suitability of the SensorSA/SWE, and Sensor Observation Services for this kind of data.
