2. Overall architecture
The SmartCover infrastructure consists of a Production Site (ProdSite) and a Publication Site (PublSite). ProdSite is intended for development needs. It hosts GIS (an ArgGIS implementation and open source solutions) and the production database (prodDB) as its part. ProdSite builds spatial objects as models, datasets, etc. Some of them are transferred to the Publication Site. PublSite hosts a spatial database, named publication database (publDB). This database is the main deliverable of the project and contains datasets related to the spatial planning with focus on LandCover and (partially) on LandUse. These datasets could be used by different SmartCover users to produce layers, maps, reports, etc. PublSite will be implemented as free open source (FOS) software. In correspondence with user needs there is a capability for development of additional section, related to the use of simulation and prognostic software tools.
2.1. Spatial database definitions
In order to avoid misunderstandings, it is necessary to refer to spatial database definitions of OGC and ESRI.
2.1.1. General definition Spatial database is a database that models space, objects in space, or a combination of both. Geodatabase is a specialized spatial database that deals specifically with geographical data, i.e. geodatabases are a type of spatial database.
2.1.2. OGC spatial database A spatial database is a database that is optimized to store and query data that is related to objects in space, including points, lines and polygons. While typical databases can understand various numeric and character types of data, additional functionality needs to be added for databases to process spatial data types. These are typically called geometry or feature. The Open Geospatial Consortium created the Simple Features specification and sets standards for adding spatial functionality to database systems.
2.1.3. ESRI geodatabase The geodatabase is a collection of thematic layers which you can present and overlay on a map. The geodatabase stores and organizes your geographic data as points, lines, polygons and attributes with which you model these real world entities.
2.2. Detailed architecture
2.2.1. Overall schema The SmartCover architecture (current draft variant) is shown on Fig.1. This architecture will be implemented in phases. The first phase (CBC project) does not include the realization of modules for Changes Management, Risk Assessment and Metadata Management.

2.2.2. Architecture features 1) Best in class solution, using EC recommendations for information technologies in this field. 2) Implementation based on free open source. 3) Low operational cost. 4) Based on OGC standards, high level of harmonization and standardization. 5) Interoperability and future integration. System architecture facilitates elaboration of interfaces with other
systems based on SOA/OGC. 6) Using PostGIS - high performance, object-relational DBMS. PostGIS adds types, functions and indexes
to support the storage, management, and analysis of geospatial objects. 7) Prerequisite for covering of all project requirements (Interoperability, INSPIRE, etc.). 8) Could be used effectively for the needs of spatial planning. 9) Reusable, easy to maintain and extend. System architecture allows the future development of specific
extensions (i.e. support the indicators at NUTS 3, NUT 2 and LAU levels, etc). 10) Proven feasibility. 11) Part of WEB GIS portal which provides the integration interface to other systems. Remark:
A pilot version of the Production Site was installed (at ASDE site). In order to prove the feasibility of the proposed architecture were performed several tests as well as a load of shape files (for land cover) in Geoserver using PostGIS for its workspace. We produced a research regarding GeoServer SDK (incl. GeoServer INSPIRE extension).
2.3. Users and roles

3. Production site
For the project needs, the environment of AURE will be used as ProdSite.
3.1. Tasks
1) Collecting data from different sources of information, organizing them in datasets. Some of them later will be transferred to PublSite. Provision of harmonized data for the thematic layers within the project.
2) Design/Implement/(Load) spatial database (SDB). SDB contains objects (tables/classes) at least for: - LandCover - LandUse - Part of selected (simple) datasets related to the spatial planning.
3) Ensures publDB actualization. 4) LandCover/LandUse
- Using LCML (LCCS3) for description of LandCover classes - Could be used LCCS2 also.
5) Creates LandCover/LandUse datasets related to the spatial planning as well as to other points of interest.
6) Provides interface to PublSite: - Import from GeoServer (shapes) - Direct import/export from/to PostGIS (shapes, XML).
7) Creates and manages metadata.
3.2. Architecture
1) Uses desktop GIS: open source (QGIS) or commercial software (ArcGIS) 2) Partially uses FOS 3) Software: ERDAS, LCCS3 (and LCCS2 optionaly) 4) Database – specified by used desktop GIS.
ProdSite is the single source of information for initial loading of publDB. It collects and validates data from different sources:
- Original satellite images and ancillary data - Available shape files - LCCS2/LCCS3 classes, etc.
3.2.1. GDB At its most basic level, an ArcGIS geodatabase is a collection of geographic datasets of various types held in a common file system folder, a Microsoft Access database, or a multiuser relational DBMS (such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Informix, or IBM DB2). All GIS (ProdSite) users will work with three fundamental dataset types regardless of the system they use. They'll have a set of feature classes (much like a folder full of ESRI shapefiles); they'll have a number of attribute tables (dBASE files, Microsoft Access tables, Excel spreadsheets, DBMSs, and so forth); and most of the time, they'll also have a large set of imagery and raster dataset.

3.2.2. Export/share features The used desktop GIS provides export of feature classes to shapefiles, PostGis, etc. .
3.3. Interoperability
3.3.1. Export and import geodatabase schemas. Geodatabase XML The used desktop GIS publishes and maintains the complete geodatabase schema and content as an XML specification and provides sample implementations to illustrate how users can share data updates between homogeneous systems. XML interchange of geospatial information to and from the geodatabase is greatly simplified using the geodatabase XML specification.
3.3.2. Metadata capabilities The used desktop GIS allow users to create, manage, and edit metadata stored in an XML representation of Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content for Digital Geospatial Metadata or the ISO 19115 Metadata Standard. (refer to INSPIRE also).

3.4. Land Cover workflow
Fig. 2
The original images are preprocessed. The preprocessing includes different types of corrections like geometric, atmospheric and radiometric corrections. This means assigning a coordinate system to the image, stretching and shrinking the image by using DEM to make the image to act as a topographic map, removing the haze, clouds etc. All these corrections are mandatory for easy and correct interpretation of the image. A lot of types of ancillary data are used for better recognitions of the real object on the ground and correct image interpretation and right classification.

The main approach for image interpretation is semiautomatic object oriented classification, but in some cases (i.e. roads, rivers) visual Interpretation is needed. The product of image interpretation and classification is LandCover vector layer with containing polygon objects without any gaps or overlaps. The product must be validated by data from conducted field checks. After creating the Style layer descriptor (the rule how to visualize the data) the data is ready to be loaded in Publication database.

4.2. Architecture
4.2.1. Description
The SmartCover provides user-friendly tools for navigating, querying, searching and selecting areas of interest. The site hosts OGC services which are accessible from any compatible client application and a web viewfinder of maps which provides the basic viewing functions. The web is structured in the following sections:
Search: find information available using metadata
OGC services: CSW, WMS, WFS, WCS
Downloads: data file download, via HTTP, to use with local applications.
Map Viewer: a lightweight, web based, map viewer that provides the basic viewing functions for the data.
Where the main components are deployed integrating the following open source technologies:
Geo-database: PostgreSQL with PostGIS spatial extension
Map server and map services (view, download, SRS transform): Geoserver
Catalogue management and services: GeoNetwork (optional)
Thin client (web front-end): based on Geoexplorer, GEOExt, Openlayers
Thick client (desktop front-end, GIS authoring, thematisation): uDig, QGis.
SmartCover realization is based on has been build using free opensource tools. Basically, GeoNetwork in order to provide searching services in metadata (CSW), GeoServer in order to provide map/features/visualization/download services (WMS and WFS) and PostgreSQL/PostGIS for vector data and metadata along with filesystem for shapefile data and/or raster.
Thematic maps are created using Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD), an XML standard defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) to define the appearance of map layers.

4.2.2. OpenGeo suite The OpenGeo Suite (Community Edition) brings together the Open-Geo Architecture into a single, easy-to-install integrated software package. Open-Geo ensures the fastest way to get geospatial information on the web, leveraging the power of best-of-breed open source geospatial software. The OpenGeo Suite is the complete, OGC standards-compliant web mapping platform built on powerful, cutting-edge, open source geospatial components.
Storage: PostGIS / PostgreSQL spatial database Application server: GeoServer map/feature server User interface framework: GeoExt / ExtJS User interface map component: OpenLayers
4.2.3. PostGIS PostGIS “spatially enables” the PostgreSQL open source relational database. The database can then be used to store and query spatial data (points, lines and polygons). PostGIS ensures:
1) High performance, robust spatial database built on PostgreSQL 2) 100% SQL92 standards support. 3) It is certified as compliant with the OGC "Simple Features for SQL" specification 4) Proven reliability and transactional integrity (ACID compliance) 5) Triggers, views, foreign key constraints, user-defined functions, and procedural programming
languages in the back-end. Build, maintain and guarantee complex data models 6) Role-based security and authentication infrastructure 7) Provides spatial representations of geometry types (points, lines, polygons) 8) Support for common and advanced spatial operations such as geometry creation and conversion,
reprojection, buffer, convex hull, generalization, union, and more PostGIS is widely supported as a spatial database back-end to client and server software, including:
- Open Source Server: GeoServer, Mapserver, Mapnik, DeeGree, SharpMap - Open Source Desktop: GRASS, QGIS, uDig, gvSIG - Proprietary Server: ArcServer, Ionic Enterprise, MapDotNet Server - Proprietary Desktop: ArcGIS, Manifold, Safe FME, CadCorp SIS, MapInfo Professional.
The spatial SQL functions available in PostGIS make analyses possible that were previously the domain of workstation GIS systems. They also provide the following:

• Join two layers based on spatial containment rules (e.g. "what is the census profile of our customers", "SELECT avg(census.income) FROM census JOIN customers ON (ST_Contains(census.geom, customers.geom )" )
• Summarize layers based on spatial aggregates (e.g. "generate the polygon of all census tracks with annual income more than $50K", "SELECT ST_Union(census.geom) FROM census WHERE census.income > 50000")
• Create new layers through spatial operations (e.g. "buffer all the roads by 100 meters and union the result into an output polygon", "SELECT ST_Union(ST_Buffer(roads.geom, 100)) FROM roads" ).
4.2.4. Geoserver GeoServer is an open source server to publish and to maintain geospatial data. Provides strong support for Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, including WMS, WFS, Filter and SLD. Translates from existing databases to a variety of formats:
- Inputs: PostGIS, Oracle Spatial, DB2, ArcSDE, MySQL, Shapefile, WFS - Outputs: GML, Shapefile, KML/KMZ, JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, PDF.

4.4. Integration and interoperability
To solve the interoperability problems, the OGC has introduced some standards by publishing specifications for the GIS services. INSPIRE The OGC standards baseline comprises more than 30 standards, including:
WMS - Web Map Service: provides map images
WFS - Web Feature Service: for retrieving or altering feature descriptions
Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD). Follows a diagram showing how a WMS turns data into a map image.
Follows a diagram showing how a WFS turns a request into a response
4.4.1. Interoperability
4.4.1.1. Intro
To solve the interoperability problems, the OGC has introduced some standards by publishing specifications for the GIS services. The OGC is a global, not-for-profit organization comprised of more than 400 companies, government agencies, research organizations and universities. They all participate in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards that help end users to achieve interoperability and subsequently derive business value.
Common Strategy for sustainable territorial development of the cross-border area RO-BG Project MIS ETC CODE 171
17
Interoperability and Standards with GIS The several aspects of the interoperability and related standards are shown below
Visualization Open GIS Web Map Service (WMS)
Data access and attributes Web Feature Service (WFS)
Data exchange Geographic Markup Language (GML)
Data presentation and styles Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD)
Metadata ISO metadata standard 19115
4.4.1.2. Working with GML
The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.'s (OGC) Geography Markup Language (GML) Encoding Specification is a standard protocol for expressing geographic features, their geometries, and attributes using XML. GML has two key parts: an application schema that describes the GML document and the document that contains the actual data encoded using XML. The Desktop GIS has to provide the support of GML description for datasets.
4.4.1.3. Map export
Map export formats - to several industry-standard file formats. EMF, EPS, AI, PDF, and SVG are referred to as vector export formats, since they can contain a mixture of vector and raster data. BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and GIF are referred to as image export formats. These are raster graphics file formats.
4.5. Possible future extensions
1) Clearing house module (for metadata descriptions synchronization). 2) Interface to other systems, integration using web services – realization of integrated maps. 3) SmartRisk – elaboration of integrated risk map (as thematic map). 4) Urban Growth Simulation (UGS). 5) Risk Manager – risk assessment, prevention and risk reduction maps. 6) Risk Navigator – data mining. 7) The proposal for a regional mechanism for regular monitoring, data coordination and harmonization,
etc. – The Regional Center for integrated risk and territory management for Lower Danube – positioned in the Euroregion Ruse-Giurgiu;
Natural Risk Zones According to the document D2.3 [INSPIRE] "Definition of Annex Themes and Scope", Natural Risk Zones (NRZ) are defined as vulnerable areas characterized according to natural hazards. In particular, they are zones where natural hazards areas intersect with highly populated areas and/or areas of particular environmental/ cultural/ economic value. A future extension of SmartCover - generic model for NRZ (related to LandCover and spatial planning themes) is intended.
