2. From SECRICOM to REDIRNET
FP7 REDIRNET (03/ /2016)
Interoperability of additional IT systems such as databases, sensor systems and cameras
FP7 FREESIC (02/ /2014)
Introduces a generic WEB 2.0 (do it yourself) approach to the setup of interoperability and focuses on the resolution of non-technical interoperability issues
FP7 SECRICOM (09/ /2012)
Focuses on technical aspects of secure interoperability

3. REDIRNET - The basic idea
Emergency and rescue agencies often have their operational responses hindered by lack of access to relevant available information held by other agencies such as databases, sensors and cameras
REDIRNET
META-DATA
INTERFACE
REDIRNET is based on the unification of meta-data interfaces with socio-professional networking ones to allow agencies to configure and control all the attributes of their interoperability with other agencies

4. How it works
Following agreement for interoperability between Agency A and B, Agency B is offering a data stream from Sensor 4 and Camera 2 to Agency A. This data stream is received in Agency A’s control room on its own sensor 6 and camera 3 positions and can be passed to Agency A’s deployed officers in accordance with their procedures and device capabilities.
REDIRNET provides a Common Meta-Data Gateway combined with a collaboration networking system. Each agency can set the visibility and controllability of its data by partner agency and/or data field

5. Main parts
Collaboration Web – Socio-professional networking among emergency responders and other data providers / consumers.
REDIRNET Monitoring Center –Seamless operation of the monitoring module
Ontology Repository - Semantic approach for optimized resource search.
Stream/Static data Plugins - Data consuming/producing plugins
Data Analysis Plugin – analyzing emergency logs form agencies.
Secure Agent Infrastructure – agent based resource polling system.
Main Switch and Gateway(s) – General secured transport mechanism and CDS interconnection
Security Services

12. Main transport components
Main Switch
Proxy factory
Part of Main Switch
Core data distribution and switching component
Controller
Holds info about availability of current resources
Checks request permission against CDS
Commands Proxy Factory to create/get Proxy
Propagates Proxy URI to providing and consuming Gateways
Gateway
Provider: Holds primary info about availability of resources
Provider: Push (via HTTP/POST) requested resource to Proxy
Consumer: Push resource request to Controller
Consumer: Propagates Proxy URI to consuming Plug-in
Plug-in
Provider: Ensures that provided resource is available at specified URI
Provider: Reports changes in resource availability to Gateway
Consumer: Asks Gateway for resource
Consumer: Presents resource from obtained URI to user 12
