The Intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is leading a worldwide effort to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) over the next 10 years. Compusult's WES XI is currently deployed as a GEOSS Web Portal and a GEOSS Clearinghouse search facility.
For the GEOSS AIP-2, Compusult is:
- continuing its support of GEOSS by committing to host the portal and clearinghouse until 2010,
- expand the capabilities of the contribution to include more robust standards-based connectivity,
- provide discovery and binding to Sensor Web services, and
- provide increasing SBA and scenario development support.
The OGC® is an international consortium of more than 380 companies, government agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. Compusult is one of the few companies involved in the endeavor. The OGC's OpenGIS® standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. These standards empower technology developers to make geospatial information and services accessible and useful with any application that needs to be geospatially enabled. Visit the OGC website at www.opengeospatial.org .
GEO (Group on Earth Observations) is a voluntary partnership of 124 governments and international organizations, launched in response to calls for action by the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development and by the G8 (Group of Eight) leading industrialized countries. GEO is coordinating efforts to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems, or GEOSS. See earthobservations.org/about_geo.shtml.
Compusult is recognized as a global leader in the development of geospatial portals, especially its Web Enterprise Suite, which is now in its eleventh version.
