Decover – Geoinformation Services to Update and Supplement Land Cover Data for German Decision Makers
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a growing need for consistent and up to date land cover data at various scales by regional, national and European authorities. Main drivers are recent or upcoming European directives and initiatives, which contain increasingly spatially differentiated monitoring and reporting obligations in agriculture, environmental protection, water management, soil protection or spatial planning. DeCOVER is a national research project to develop and demonstrate innovative and cost-efficient geo-information services to address this growing need in Germany. The DeCOVER consortium consists of eleven partners and is co-funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWI) via the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The expected services will support the implementation of European directives at various scales and are developed in close cooperation with key decision makers and in exchange with European developments within the framework of the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) initiative. DeCOVER also acts as a SDIC (Spatial Data Interest Community) within the INSPIRE process to take into account these recent infrastructure developments. In summary the main objectives of DeCOVER are to: • develop a service concept of core services and additional services to provide land cover information based on user needs at various scales • employ latest ontology-based semantic interoperability techniques to define interoperability potential between different land cover data bases • improve existing land cover data sets by use of change detection methods • increase information depth using optical and radar satellite data (data fusion)
