AGILE/EuroSDR/OGC Persistent Testbed for Research and Teaching in Europe
Hannover, 2nd June 2009

You are invited to participate in the workshop "AGILE/EuroSDR/OGC Persistent Testbed for Research and Teaching in Europe", a pre-conference workshop at the "12th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science" located in Hannover, Germany, on 2nd June 2009. Details about the workshop and its agenda can be found at the link below.

The PTB is a joint effort from AGILE, EuroSDR and OGC initiated in 2007 to provide a persistent testbed for the various European GI initiatives and communities with the following objectives:

- To provide a research platform for collaborative European research in geospatial interoperability,

- To aid the assessment of the current
standards for geospatial interoperability in terms of research compatibility, completeness, consistency, ease of use and extensibility

- To provide an environment for teaching standards and techniques for geospatial interoperability

- To provide a resource to AGILE/EuroSDR/OGC for the coordination of research requirements as well as definition, testing, validation and
development of open standards.

More Details about the PTB can be found at the link below.

The workshop will report progress from the PTB activities over the last year. It will include additional test-bed focussed presentations and
provide a forum for discussion of how the PTB Project and related test-bed activities in Europe should evolve to meet the current and future needs of the European GI-community.

If you are interested in the PTB Project and other test-beds for geospatial interoperability and their relationship to the needs of INSPIRE, SEIS, GMES and related National activity (or Europe's input to broader programmes such as GEOSS) then we look forward to meeting you in Hannover on June 2nd and to your participation in the Workshop.
