Abstract
 Designing Service-Oriented Spatial Data Infrastructures Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure Author(s): Javier Morales Technology has made it easier to access, manipulate, and exploit spatial data. Consequently, a more sophisticated spatial awareness has developed among users, resulting in growing dependence on people and organizations for spatial data. This translates to diverse and changing user requirements. This presents a challenge for any supplier. To address this development, spatial data infrastructures need to change from being a data discovery and retrieval facility to becoming a service-oriented infrastructure in which users can rely for the provision of geo-services. Work then needs to flow across several companies, requiring not only the sharing of data but of resources, functions and processes. This is achieved with a unified framework architecture for the provision of geo-services across organizations and communities. It enables the integration of disparate systems, facilitating access and chaining of core services (sensor, visualization, processing and other services) to create customized user services in line with changing requirements.
