It's sunny in Scotland.

We've arrived in sunny Glasgow today for the penultimate stop on our GeoDATA 2010 roadshow.

Hosted by the Training4GIS training and events team; we're joined today by a selection of leading GI figures to address some of the key challenges facing the geographic industry.

 

Open Data: Changing the way we work

We're hoping to spread the word about Open Data; what it means to you, why it's great for your organisation and how you can take just a few small steps to get started.

Richard Rombouts, will be presenting at both Glasgow and Belfast and he'll also demonstrate the benefits of using Open Standards to unlock data, such as INSPIRE.

Plus, we'll be giving away a free software tool for anyone that attends our seminar to get you started with Open Data and INSPIRE.

 

Come and join us in Belfast

GeoDATA 2010 seminars are free to attend and there are still a few places available at next week's Belfast event. And as it's the last date for the 2010 tour you can be sure it will be a great event.

Date and Venue

Modernising Aeronautical Information Management

By Melissa on November 4, 2010 11:50 AM | 1 Comment

Snowflake Software is often best known for its market leading, standards based, data loading and publishing tools. 

Founded over nine years ago by Ian Painter (MD) and Eddie Curtis (CTO), who share a passion for knowledge and all things data exchange, it's no surprise that we continue to help industries and organisations across the globe solve real life data exchange challenges with best of breed technologies and standards. And Aviation is no exception.

Global Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems in use today have reached their capacity to manage existing levels of air transport efficiently. Airport congestion has increased and the percentage of on-time arrivals has steadily declined. And the challenges are predicted to worsen, as air traffic levels are projected to increase threefold by 2025.
 
To overcome these challenges, EUROCONTROL and the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) have established initiatives that aim to revolutionise ATM systems by developing a net centric, global Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) system. Snowflake has been working hard with EUROCONTROL and the FAA alongside organisations in the industry to efficiently overcome the data exchange challenges and demonstrate the benefits of standards based technologies to achieve the goals of real time, distributed information exchange.
 
Modernising Aeronautical Information Management
We recently demonstrated the capabilities of our expertise in the OWS-7 project (an OGC project sponsored by EUROCONTROL and the FAA). Using scenarios reflecting real-world airline operations and flight dispatch activities, OWS-7 demonstrated the benefits to both flight dispatchers and pilots by exchanging and accessing critical information via web services in real-time. Two demonstration scenarios were used to represent real-life Air Traffic Management processes: a transatlantic flight from the USA to Estonia, and a charter flight between the USA and Canada. Both scenarios included flight planning, pre-flight briefing, and in-flight monitoring and assistance (including deviation due to volcanic ash hazard). 
 
Debbie Wilson, our Business Consultant and Aviation domain expert recently presented our OWS-7 findings, and how we achieved the results at the INSPIRE Conference in Krakow. You can watch the video of her presentation here: http://eurogeoss-inspire2010.illipack.com/ (select the 'European Research for GEOSS' tab at the bottom of the page, and then click on the picture of Debbie Wilson to start the interactive video).
