© Infoterra SAGE ITD0315 SAGE – Presentation to the 2nd ETC-TE EIONET workshop EU Soil Policy 19 Product Development Approach Product development goals are quality, reliability, affordability and sustainability of the products and services Innovation by Integration of existing user-side monitoring mechanisms and models with EO-based inputs Focus are pre-operational processes (ability to serve!) instead of feasibility focus (i.e. demonstration case studies) only Feedback cycles to ensure user acceptance, and to optimise system

© Infoterra SAGE ITD0315 SAGE – Presentation to the 2nd ETC-TE EIONET workshop EU Soil Policy 20 General Production Approach The production approach is based on user requirements ! follows European Standards in terms of Nomenclature (CORINE LC) Formats (OpenGIS) Technical standards (INSPIRE) Quality Issues (ISO) is based on sound experience of Infoterra in LU/LC applications, especially for Agricultural land use Forestry Processing chains designed for efficient production of LU/LC products, in terms of quality, affordabilty, highest possible degree of automation and ability to reproduce
