ERDAS in Plugfest at FOSS4G Conference

Norcross, GA — ERDAS announces its participation in the Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP) at the FOSS4G conference in Sydney, Australia.

CCIP 2009 provides a forum to prove interoperability in a near-to-real-world setting, testing implementations of Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) data delivery standards in serving the needs of climate scientists. This project brought together an international group of software developers, including individuals from ERDAS, 52 North, ESRI, Jacobs University, LISAsoft, OpenGeo, STFC and Unidata.

CCIP provides an opportunity for companies to prove that their products are truly interoperable; that information requests are bug-free between servers and clients. This means that the products comply with open standards, and are not dependent upon any particular pairing of client and server. For example, any server that implements the Web Coverage Service (WCS) standard should communicate seamlessly with any client software that does the same. This process exposes issues with software, or with the standards themselves.

“ERDAS participated in this event to exemplify its strong backing for OGC standards, said Kaushik Chakraborty, Vice President, AP, ERDAS. “In addition, this event provided an opportunity to instill confidence in our customers that ERDAS software is truly interoperable with other software also implementing OGC standards.”

During FOSS4G, ERDAS is also demonstrating ERDAS APOLLO, showcasing how this unique enterprise solution was used in the CCIP scenarios. ERDAS APOLLO 2010 is customizable, equipped to fully understand, competently manage and rapidly serve an organization’s large volumes of geospatial data. ERDAS APOLLO implements an out-of-the box Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), that provides a publish, find and bind workflow for any data type. With a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), ERDAS APOLLO provides an interactively connected framework to support the management and serving of spatial data, metadata and maps.
