CIPI takes a new approach to help organizations publish, discover, access,
exchange, and maintain vital geo-spatial information and online geoprocessing
services required to support critical infrastructure protection. CIPI-1 has
several objectives including the creation of a Critical Infrastructure Collaborative
Environment (CICE). The environment will include several operational nodes
that exemplify the open interfaces in use. Prototype nodes, including servers
and data, are hosted by FEMA, GeoConnections/Natural Resources Canada, USGS
and other government agencies and by communities participating in the initiative.
The CICE was the basis for executing integration experiments and implementing
information security. CIPI-1 also addressed the challenge of sharing data
from different data models. The CIPI efforts were intended to support the
implementation of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI), the
U.S. National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI), and related e-government
initiatives.
Compusult’s contributions to the CIPI-1 initiative include Standards-based
Commercial Off-The-Shelf (SCOTS) software, data services and professional
services associated with the integration, development, testing and support
of CIPI-1 portal components and the standards specification and experiment/demonstration
processes.
