10. Summary
§ EODC represents a new model of collaboration in earth
observation, it strives to
o Develop shared resources
o Share know-­‐how
o Connect science with operations
to the benefit of its cooperation partners
§ EODC is still in development
§ Big EO data can be an integral part of general Big Data
activities and there is room for cooperation beyond EO
