Re: [emergency] EU Tactical Situation Object

Thanks, Rex.

The OASIS project needs to be viewed in the larger context of the pan
European Spatial Data Infrastructure as well as ORCHESTRA. A good overview
is:

http://www.eu-orchestra.org/docs/Paper_Hannover_Orchestra.pdf

Specifically:

The ORCHESTRA project will work together closely with two other Integrated
Projects in the field called WIN (http://www.win-eu.org) and OASIS
(www.oasis-fp6.org). WIN will concentrate more on organisational issues
relevant for improved interoperability in risk management and OASIS
focuses on crisis management. The three projects will use the same
architectural principles and make their results interoperable. These
results will be provided as input to INSPIRE and to GMES (Global
Monitoring for Environment and Security, www.gmes.info).

And the TSO encoding has yet to get traction in Europe.

Cheers

Carl
