​The spatial data infrastructures (SDI) of Eurac supports storing and querying of spatial data of potentially any raster and vector type. It has been designed and implemented with a scalable architecture, in terms of memory and runtime for time-series operations and for image-processing operations, and is based on open standards (OGC).  The SDI support also the temporal dimension in order to satisfy spatial time series analysis.

The services we offer on the SDI concern the full data life cycle.

Data acquisition

We support scientific and industrial projects in optimizing the acquisition system, in terms of sensors and platforms. Furthermore, we can benefit from a scalable proprietary application which can help in handling heterogeneous data.

Data organization

the experience gained through many research projects prepared us to organize different type of data into a cluster of databases. The generic conceptual model which inspired us is the one proposed by the Open Geospatial Consortium defined as “Observation & Measurements”, and allows to handle earth observation data, in-situ time-series, UAV based data and measurements acquired by scientist during field campaigns. The result is an extended Environmental Data Base. For an exemple see here.

Data discovery

We offer a Catalogue web Service compliant to OGS standards to upload high quality meta-data. This Catalougue permit to access the information about dataset through a web interface.

Data visualization: product web visualization, WebGIS applications and framework, DSS

With this service we offer our experience in development web services and web application for product/map visualization like WebGIS and decision support system applications.
