OpenWater

 

The OpenWater Symposium and Workshops are focused on the sharing of experiences to support increasing interoperability of new ICT based systems, systems of systems and standards in the water domain. Several initiatives are currently being undertaken to develop open standards and interfaces under GEO, OGC, OpenMI Association and many research projects around the world. OpenWater will be organised as a series of invited presentations, dedicated workshops, and oral/poster presentations.
