WGISS 20 EOGEO Workshop Report 2 Overview EOGEO 2005 Workshop – workshop concurrent with “Open Source Geospatial '05” (the EOGEO, MapServer, and OSGIS communities) – Several CEOS/WGISS agencies attended. – EOGEO workshop had many attendees. – Huge number of participants in the whole workshop who had interests in geo-spatial systems/applications development. –A lot of sessions were held in parallel (free tools, DB management, applications, user interfaces, etc.)

3. WGISS 20 EOGEO Workshop Report 3 From the EOGEO opening statements - Necessity of easy and user-friendly access to geo-spatial data - From Standards to Infrastructure There are enough standards and basic technology to get started. Need tailoring, customization, how-to documentation, cookbooks, hand-holding, education, etc. coordination among Suppliers, NGOs, Beneficiaries.Need coordination among Suppliers, NGOs, Beneficiaries. The most important aspect is building reproducible, sustainable, turn-key applications that fit into a greater framework. For instance, in the case of the tsunami in the Philippines in 2004, only 1 NGO site out of 9 sites provided map/images for relief activities. Existence of gap for end user
