EO4GEO is developing an innovative resource describing an ontology for the EO/GI fields.

The existing Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge (GI S&T BoK), developed by the GI-N2K project on the basis of the American University Consortium for Geographic Information Science, is the basis for the development and operationalization of the EO4GEO Body of Knowledge (BoK).

Describing the Geographic Information and Earth Observation domain should be done by defining the underpinning inter-related concepts (theories, methods, technologies, etc.) that should be covered in education and training curricula. 

Meet our experts

The process of developing the BoK for GI and EO is carried out by the network of experts crucial for achieving a BoK covering all EO/GI aspects. The following is a list of the active experts currently participating in the description of concepts in different inter-related knowledge areas, by commenting and contributing to the elaboration of the relevant texts.

GIN2K contributors

The EO4GEO Consortium appreciates and acknowledge the extraordinary work done by the experts who contributed to the Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge (GI S&T BoK), developed by the Geographic Information Need to Know (GIN2K) project and which represents the starting point for the construction of the EO4GEO Body of Knowledge.

We would appreciate your support by joining the Network of EO/GI Experts.

There is a continuous open call for experts in the Earth Observation / Geographic Information sectors to participate in the process of developing a Body of Knowledge (BoK) for EO and GI.
