How EmerGeo helps organizations
achieve interoperability

EmerGeo helps organizations to promote standardization and to streamline communications by

• organizing and displaying data in standardized ways (e.g., data categorization and symbology based on Homeland Security standards)
• guiding users through standard planning and response processes using "wizards"
• communicating information through a role-based publishing function
• providing a common spatial interface that accesses multiple emergency management software applications and technologies
• presenting the right level of detail and functionality (tools) to the right role in each emergency organization

Just as you can use any vendor's Web browser to get simple text and image data from Web sites that use any other vendor's Web server, now you can use EmerGeo's "Smart Client" or "Web Map Viewer Client" to get simple or complex spatial data (and geo-processing services) from any vendor's Web map server. EmerGeo builds on the Open GIS Consortium's open interoperability framework, which is a set of OPENGIS® specifications that enable one Geographic Information System (GIS) or another geo-processing application, not necessarily a GIS, to reach across the Internet and intranets to invoke processing services and retrieve data from another GIS or geo-processing application.
