NextGEOSS

GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) is a central part of GEO’s Information System’s mission. The NextGEOSS project, a European contribution to GEOSS, proposes to develop the next generation European data hub and cloud platform for Earth Observation data, where the users can connect to access data and deploy EO-based applications. The concept revolves around providing the data and resources to the user communities, together with Cloud resources, seamlessly connected to provide an integrated ecosystem for supporting applications. A central component of NextGEOSS is the strong emphasis put on engaging the communities of providers and users, and bridging the space in between.
