HMA-T Testbed

HMA Testbed Phase 2

HMA-T has been split into two phases and this page addresses the second phase.
A summary of the main results of the first phase is available at HMA Testbed Phase 1.

The objective of this activity are:

• To permit the evolution and test of the interoperability standards which have been initially defined within the HMA contract within the years 2006-2008, in parallel with the EO Data Access Integration Layer EO-DAIL implementation and the implementation of the specified interfaces within the partners’ ground segments.
• To permit the conformance testing of any of the HMA adopted standards and to support industry and institutions in the testing of their own products or developments. Reference for conformance testing shall be considered the Compliance & Interoperability Testing & Evaluation Initiative - CITE environment developed by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for the Web Map Service.
• To support the take up of HMA defined standards by European Institutional Users (e.g. INSPIRE Legally Mandated Organisations (LMOs) and geospatial software product developers.

The expected outcomes of Phase 2 grouped per HMA interface are listed below. More details are available here.
