VATDIS web mapping : a report on the application of open standards and open architecture in geospatial interoperability for emergency management

This report provides an overview of the web mapping activities carried out in the VATDIS action in 2007. These web mapping activities aimed at integrating the work done for the Orchestra, Floodsite and Preview IP into one single demonstrator. In the main section of this report an outline is given of the reasons for integrating the projects and the contents of this integration. The report should be seen as a summary of the technical choices made in order to accomplish this integration. The annexes on this report help the more technical reader to understand the design of the demonstrator and to duplicate it for its own purposes.
