Supporting Interoperable Geospatial Data Fusion by adopting OGC and ISO TC 211 standards

Geospatial data fusion refers to the ability to process (fuse) data from a variety of sources which capture and/or model earth-related phenomena in order to produce added-value information. This paper provides an overview of the latest advancements in standardization for interoperability in the geographical information community achieved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). It also provides guidelines and suggestions for designing superior architectures to support geospatial data fusion by employing OGC/ISO specifications
