Abstract
Human kind now faces severe challenges in terms of the security of our economies and the security of the
environment. It is my belief that information technology has a vital role to play in our response to these
challenges, and that a key component of that response is the global development of the GeoWeb. This
talk will outline my vision of the GeoWeb, and the technology requirements that flow from that vision.
Specific technical requirements such as transparency, scalability, unobtrusiveness, data type flexibility,
and schema-based data transformation will be discussed. Solutions to these requirements, base on
peer-to-peer and managed peer-to-peer frameworks building on ebRIM, GML, XML and KML standards
will be presented.
