2. Big Data Hubs on the Internet
Data are trapped in isolated islands
 The world has seen creation of a great number of
data hubs globally.
 However, at present, the most of such data hubs are
functioning as if they were “isolated islands” of data
and information.
 The data hubs are deployed with different
technologies at geographically dispersed locations.
 There has been a critical barrier to the
interconnectivity and interoperability between big data
hubs.

4. Can they talk to each other for exchange
data?
 Critical barriers of server-to-serve communication and
data exchange needs to be overcome.
 Automatic interaction and seamless integration of Big
Data hubs have been found feasible to allow fast
response time of communication and geodata
transfer for future development of interoperable
services.
 Critically important to seamless integration of big data
hubs are interoperable communication protocols.
 High performance processors in live distributed
computing systems can be developed for finding new
solutions for ensuring prompt Internet services.

6. Open Geospatial Consortium
specifications and Standardisation of
Spatial Data
 With the development of new initiatives in Open data and
Open Standards, a showcase is presented to illustrate
how geodata hubs can interact and communicate with
each other automatically for timely data exchange.
 Showcased are the design and development of an
Internet-based geodata processing service demonstrator
system and the operation of critical data bridges between
geodata services with the use of Open Geographical
Consortium (OGC)’s specifications.
 Standards are important.
 Application examples of geo-data standards.
