Description
The institute for geoinformatics of the University of Münster (ifgi) has a long history in developing and implementing standards for the exchange of spatial and spatio-temporal data. Large parts of the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards have been designed at ifgi. Members of the institute have been executive editors of the Sensor Planning Service, the Sensor Alert Service and the Web Notification Service specifications. Furthermore, they currently (2010) chair the Sensor Observation Service 2.0 standards working group and the Web Processing Service 2.0 standards working group of the OGC. The research group of Prof. Dr. Edzer Pebesma is largely involved in spatio-temporal modelling, quantifying uncertainties in modelling chains, statistical evaluation of monitoring networks, and the development of standards and reference software implementations for this. The ifgi has a spin-off company, 52°North, for the dissemination of open source software implementations.
