This document outlines the "Bringing GEOSS Services into Practice" initiative, part of the FP7 enviroGRIDS project by the University of Geneva and UNEP/GRID-Geneva. It focuses on the simplicity and interoperability of geospatial data sharing, promoting the use of open-source solutions. The initiative includes hands-on training through a virtual machine compatible with various operating systems, providing users with practical tools and tutorials on publishing and visualizing geospatial data. The course material, featuring various examples, aims to foster the adoption of GEO/GEOSS principles among participants.

What is “Bringing GEOSS services into Practice”? Simplicity and interoperability Content Related material Upgrade and maintenance Dedicated website Licensing Overview
Train-the-trainers course developed in the framework of the FP7 enviroGRIDS project by UNIGE Goal: promoting GEO/GEOSS data sharing principles through the use of open source & interoperable solutions Different formats 1 or 2 hours: live demo 1 to 2 days with hands-on Introduction
Ask questions and answer them, e.g. How to store geospatial data? How to publish geospatial data? Tutorial alternates theory / hands on Simple to start with To complete the course users just need to download & copy a virtual machine on their computer “start” HTML page Possibility to go through exercises quickly (instructions: bold / bullet points) Simple user interface Interoperability Virtual machine can be used on Mac OS, Windows, Linux OGC-compliant technologies Teaching / Test / Production Deploy the VM in a production environment What is the approach taken?
