Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) for inventory rockfalls with fragmentation information

Abstract The fragmentation phenomenon has a significant effect on rockfall risk assessment. This information is difficult to obtain, but it key improving modelling. For this reason, the RockModels team gathered data of several natural events since 2014 that nowadays wants share them with professionals, academics and stakeholders. best way for dissemination use standard or specifications in order be interoperable. A database been created using all information, according INSPIRE Natural Hazard Area Data Specification currently force. However, new tables have had added, specification does not consider data. There are 6000 records geometries source areas, envelopes, deposits mostly individual blocks. web mapping application, an automatic function coordinate reference system transformation, facilitate access spatial information. All was developed open-source software such as OpenLayers JavaScript library, (PostGre-PostGIS) map generating Web Map Service (GeoServer). As more collected, can easily updated will published. Moreover, improve interpretation, future task incorporate 3D models application. existence public research advance knowledge kind hazards.
