To be FAIR, we re Open! How open Standards can power Earth Observation (Joana Simoes)

The Open-Earth Monitor Global Workshop 2026 "Next-Generation EO & GeoAI Built on Openness and Distributed Data" 7-9 October 2026, Barcelona, Spain https://earthmonitor.org/global-workshop-2026/ It is estimated that the deep web, the part of the web that is not indexed through search engines, accounts for more than 90% of all the web content. Although in some cases the content may be hidden intentionally, in many others there is just a failure in delivering it to the users; even after finding the information, there may still be some challenges in understanding what it covers and accessing it in a suitable format. This talk will elaborate on how geospatial Standards can help us to address these challenges, and ensure that EO data can live up to the promise of being used and reused.
