GEOGRAPHICAL MEDIATION SYSTEM

Objetivo

GEOMED seeks to integrate services for the creation and use of geographical information in town planning, environmental protection and other public sectors. The services will provide access, over wide-area networks, to distributed multimedia geographical databases. A "shared workspace" will enable storage and retrieval of geographical planning material, and private citizens will be able to add and retrieve information on the network. Assistance for regulated group activity will include support for well-defined administrative procedures. The project will make geographical data cheaper and more accessible and democratize public policy and planning.

The GEOMED system will integrate services for creating, disseminating and using geographical information in the sectors of urban planning, public administration, and environmental protection:

1. The information services will improve the interoperability of proprietary GIS systems, providing efficient and cost-effective access to the multimedia geographical data in heterogeneous, distributed GIS databases, over wide-area networks. This would include services for finding relevant GIS data, converting proprietary GIS data to standard formats for data interchange, as well as ways of controlling remote GIS servers from within compound documents and general purpose electronic mail, conferencing systems, and hypermedia systems, such as the World Wide Web.

2. The documentation services will provide a "shared workspace" for storing and retrieving the documents and messages of geographical planning projects, using standard document formats (SGML, OpenDoc). Ordinary users, including the blind, will be enabled to add and retrieve information to the hyperspace of documents available on the network. Security and privacy concerns will be addressed. Project document databases may become part of the collective memory of a community, facilitating the reuse of plans, designs and their rationales.

3. The mediation services will provide assistance for regulated group activity. Commercial workflow systems will be used to support well-defined, formal administrative procedures within organizations. For group planning and decision-making procedures, services will be provided to support the human mediators of electronic "round table" discussions.

The GEOMED system will make geographical information more accessible and affordable, and help to open and democratise public policy and planning procedures. This will improve the quality and acceptability of decisions and reduce the considerable expense of unnecessary delays and legal conflicts. GEOMED will help to broaden the base of planning policy.

The GEOMED project will deploy those advanced telematics services on 4 relevant demonstrators: the city of Bonn (D), Tilburg (NL), Tuscany Region (I) and the Technical Chamber of Greece (GR).

Each one is to be developed in close cooperation with a user organization who is a partner in the project. The demonstrators have been chosen to both have sufficient common requirements to make it realistic and desirable to develop a single GEOMED system applicable to them all, and to have sufficient individual requirements to help assure that GEOMED system will be generalizable to a variety of cooperative spatial decision-making domains. The GEOMED system will be useful in a wide variety of cooperative decision making contexts requiring access and use of geographical information, not just the scenarios chosen to demonstrate and validate the system, including but not limited to land, sea, river, and air management groups.

GEOMED is the successor of the DG XIII GEOMED-F Feasibility Project (N. 174)
