This chapter discusses how the need for geospatially enabled data messaging among emergency response agencies can be enabled with the Emergency Provider Access Directory (EPAD). It describes the directory, how it enables message routing and its fit into a boarder E-Safety network. It also discusses the architectural components of the EPAD, specifically the geographic information system (GIS) module, and how Web services and open source products were used in the design to enhance the EPAD service offering, an offering that has the potential to bring emergency agencies one step closer to realizing interagency interoperability for advanced response to emergency events.

Processing Service

This paper researches the feasibility of real-time processing data from Sensor Web by means of Web Processing Service (WPS), which isnt dependent on the platform of the traditional monolithic GIS. On this base, an actual solution is provided to configure and transform some monolithic GIS services into accessed web services, at the same time the customer could automatically get data offered by Sensor Web and simulate processing up-to-date information to obtain desired results in client-side , which could visualize quickly to provide critical and timely help for users at crucial moment. The applicability of the solution is demonstrated by a fire scenario in which we employ WPS framework of 52North project and the client-side is OpenLayers.
