Abstract

In this article we focus on interoperable geographic information (GI) services from the crisis management perspective. Based on Open Geospatial Consortium [10] standards and initiatives, we present the building blocks of the interoperable solution for supporting crisis management that is proposed as a result of the EU sponsored project, MEDSI [1]. In particular, we focus on the application and operationalization of several OGC standards, some adopted and some still under discussion, such as WMS, WFS, WMC, SLD and SMS, as well as their integration and cooperation within a single software framework.
