The world of the geographic information is utterly heterogeneous. Many different actors and stakeholders (public administrations, research centres, private companies, citizens, etc.) play various roles (data creators, data providers, data transformers, data users, etc.) in the delivery and use of applications in various domains. User and system requirements are too varied to be supported by a single system or technology. In recent years a large number of systems have been developed to support the delivery and use of geospatial data in different domains.
Among the most well known examples are INSPIRE for thematic datasets published by public authorities and GMES/Copernicus for environmental and security services from European Earth observation data. The lack of agreement on interoperability standards is a barrier to the full exploitation of GI via its integration from different sources. This heterogeneity can be reduced (e.g. by common standards) but unfortunately not eliminated.
Different specifications and hence different infrastructures are required to address varying requirements.
The ENERGIC-OD project will address this problem by adopting a new architectural approach designed and developed in recent research activities and already implemented in pre-operational and operational systems known as broker architectures. In broker architectures, specific components (the brokers) facilitate interoperability in heterogeneous systems, allowing existing systems to be interconnected with no changes necessary. Users access the brokers through standardized protocols which enable them to discover and access datasets from heterogeneous sources. ENERGIC-OD will deploy a set of Virtual Hubs, integrating this broker framework with a set of selected technologies to provide a single point of access to geospatial datasets provided by current and future platforms and infrastructures. Using the VHs, application developers can access datasets provided by heterogeneous systems in a homogeneous way.
This innovative approach will greatly facilitate the development of new and multidisciplinary applications.

the IRSTV will
- Contribute its expertise in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards including Symbology Encoding as wells as its familiarity with Open Street Map to the state of the art study. It will also study noise data acquisition methods via smartphones. Its experience in the domain of noise maps will be proven useful.
- Give specifications for the types of smartphones used for collecting data, the noise capture application, the noise submission and publication application and the noise analysis application which will exploit open traffic and open street map data.
- Develop the application that performs noise and accessibility analysis and generates the resulting maps, as well as write the user and developer documentation.
- Provide elements for a business plan regarding the viability and cost-effectiveness of the noise map application. It will also establish a user group for feedback during the development process
