Summary

The overall aim of the Integrated Project ORCHESTRA (Open Architecture and Spatial Data Infrastructure for Risk Management) is to improve the efficiency in dealing with risks by developing an open service architecture designed to cover the need for coordination and collaboration of the risk management community.

During the past two years the ORCHESTRA consortium has created a very robust and open reference model for a service-oriented architecture based on de-facto and de-jure standards, in which special attention is paid to an integrated service and data approach including their spatial, temporal and thematic characteristics.

The ORCHESTRA architecture delivers to users and applications integrated spatial and non-spatial information services. These services should allow the users to identify and access information in an interoperable way from a wide range of sources (from local to global level), for a variety of uses, mainly focusing on the risk management area.

In risk management, various numerical or GIS-based assessment methods have a cartographic output. In this respect, thematic maps are of interest as a decision support tool that visually communicate geographical concepts as risk-related data distributions, variations and aggregations (e.g. distribution of risk levels, comparisons between the number of occurrences of various hazards,
population densities, etc.).

ETH Zurich contributes to the project and develops the architecture of the ORCHESTRA Map and Diagram Service by improving the well-known OGC WMS (Web Map Service) standard (ISO/DIS 19128). According to the Map and Diagram Service design, future implementations of map servers should be able to dynamically produce complex thematic web maps that fulfill the requirements of
risk management applications.
