2. Centre Observation, Impacts, Energy
Research activities:
Earth observation (Models, satellite, in-situ)
Renewable energy resources assessment (Solar, wind, marine)
Environmental impacts assessment of energy systems
Computer sciences
Data acquisition and processing (Eumetsat/Meteosat)
Data dissemination (Standards, interoperability)
From the beginning and the end of the value chain
Computer science as a support to research
Webservice-Energy
GEO Energy Community Portal
Spatial Data Infrastructure

3. Webservice-Energy Community Portal
GEO Community Portal for Energy
Gather, document, spread and promote the use of Earth observation data for Energy
Based on former GEO Energy efforts (Community of Practice, AIP’s)
GEO VENER (GEO Vision for ENERgy) initiative
GEOSS EVOLVE (WP6: Community Portals) initiative
“GEOSS Facilitator” (We operate for the Energy community)
Network of 20 resource providers (Research, Gov. Ag., NGO, Industries, Companies, SMEs)

4. Partnerships

5. Webservice-Energy SDI
Operational since 2008 in MINES ParisTech
Open – Platforms, tools and application are Open Source
Standard - OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium), ISO (International Standard Organization) INSPIRE (European directive)
Interoperable – Web Service based access
Link to GCI through our OGC/CSW Catalog
80 harvested end-points as in Catalog
Over 1600 resources accessible as Web Services
95 % of available resources are harvested (Few manual edit)
Weekly harvested by the DAB -> GEO Web Portal
Application schema, tutorials and a gallery of applications
