Abstract

Innovative cloud computing solutions can be a valuable tool for the further implementation and adoption of INSPIRE. This module provides insight in the field of innovative cloud computing solutions for SDI’s. Starting point of the module will be the shift towards open standards, open software and open data. The module also describes an innovative architecture for SDI’s and provides several examples of cloud computing solutions for SDI’s. The module will introduce the concept of ‘ecosystems of stakeholders’, as an approach for combining an open sourcebusiness model with a proprietary one.
