Public award description

IGF::OT::IGF WE PROPOSE TO DESIGN A WORKING PROTOTYPE GEOSPATIAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOLKIT (GEOKIT) THAT WILL ENABLE SCIENTISTS, AGENCIES, AND STAKEHOLDERS TO CONFIGURE AND DEPLOY THEIR OWN WEB BASED APPLICATIONS CONTAINING MAPS, FORMS, ALGORITHMS, AND A RICH SET OF FUNCTIONALITY RELATED TO VISUALIZATION, ANALYSIS, QUERYING, AND PUBLICATION OF GEOSPATIAL DATA AND INFORMATION. GEOKIT WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPMENT OF A SUITE OF TOOLS THAT WILL OPERATE ON DATA, TO CREATE RULE-BASED APPLICATIONS FOR RISK ANALYSIS, RISK MITIGATION, OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, AND SCIENCE RESEARCH SUPPORT. GEOKIT WILL ENHANCE THE THE USE OF DATA FROM NASA AND OTHER SOURCES, PROVIDE A TOOL FOR NON-SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS TO CREATE A WEBSITE WITH CUSTOM FUNCTIONS AND TOOLS THAT OPERATE ON GEOSPATIAL DATA, AND PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TOOLS TO SUPPORT RISK ASSESSMENT, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS OF SPATIALLY- EXPLICIT DATA FROM NASA PLATFORMS, CLIMATE REANALYSES, AND USER-DEFINED SOURCES, AS WELL AS ALLOW REAL-TIME PUBLICATION OF RESULTS IN STANDARD GEOBROWSER COMPATIBLE FORMATS.
