Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP)

CCIP demonstrates standards based interoperability between geospatial applications based on a Climate Change scenario. It consists of a server with multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards based web services. All web services will demonstrate a common dataset, and will be accessed by a range of geospatial client applications installed on client computers.

The showcase is designed to be easily rolled out at conferences, testbeds and other events around the world, and is targeted to be launched at the international FOSS4G Conference in Sydney, Australia, 20-23 October 2009.

The showcase is designed to underpin many initiatives, including:

• Technology demonstrators at conferences
• Geospatial training programs
• Demonstration Software CDs
• Testing suite programs
• Spatial Data Infrastructure development
• Open Data programs

Why is CCIP good for application developers?

• CCIP is an excellent avenue to show off projects and engage future sponsors.
• Activities in testing and comparison threads will provide feed back into product testing suites which will improve the products.
• Cross project integration will help make software easier to use, make it more attractive, and consequently will engage more users and sponsors.

Why is CCIP good for Data Custodians?

• Application developers will be tweaking their applications to work effectively and efficiently with CCIP data.
• Data used or referenced by CCIP will be highly visible and attract more data users.
• Web site developers will be weaving your data into their web applications.

Why is CCIP good for conferences?

* Trialling a demonstration Spatial Data Infrastructure and discussing it with presenters and vendors will be a significant drawcard for delegates. * CCIP will attract application vendors as sponsors who will have the opportunity to show off their wares.

Why is CCIP good for conference presenters?

Conference delegates will be interested to hear details about the various aspects of the Geospatial Integration. Presenters can use the CCIP infrastructure to develop presentations and workshops. It will also be powerful to sum up a presentation with "Now go and try it out on CCIP outside".
