2. Open Data/Specifications & FOSS
The purpose of this presentation is to increase the awareness
about the advantages offered by the combined use of Open
Data, Open Specifications for geospatial and water-related data
collection, storage and sharing, as well as mature FOSS projects
for the creation of interoperable Web-based information
systems in the water domain

3. Presentation outline
• Basic Concepts:
• Spatial Data Infrastrcuture SDI
• Water spatial data
• Open specifications: Geospatial web services
• Free and Open Source Software for water SDI
• User case: POLIRISPOSTA Project (system architecture)
• FOSS4G conference!

10. User Case
(Tools for Civil Protection to support the community affected by floods on the post event)
To build a model, tools and advanced technology solutions for the
collection, mapping and evaluation of post-flood damage data,
that will be useful for all organizations involved in risk
management, specially the Civil Protection.
