| Situation awareness and virtual globes: Applications for disaster management | There is an additional paper about the software .The studies were conducted with ReliefWeb. ReliefWeb is a United Nations (UN) funded project managed through the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).CDA-processed documents are listed in the Google Earth legend, the contents and structure of which are determined by the CDA. Legend items contain folders for thematic and geographic references organized by scale (country, state, county, town etc.) found. Information is structured this way by the CDA to provide a manager with interactivity over the display of thematic references and entities by geographic scale. For example, a manager may only want to view counties referenced in documents. Term frequency within a document determines the height a term is rendered in 3D space.The following section provides empirical evidence, derived from a utility study and focus group discussion with disaster management practitioners, of the benefits and drawbacks of the virtual globe capabilities of the CDA to support situation awareness for disaster management. |

Portfolio of Solutions web site has been initially developed in the scope of DRIVER+ project. Today, the service is managed by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH., for the benefit of the European Management. PoS is endorsed and supported by the Disaster Competence Network Austria (DCNA) as well as by the STAMINA and TeamAware H2020 projects. |
