Mihai DatcuGerman Aerospace CenterGermanyScope and TopicsThe volume and diversity of data is a major challenge to the existing data exploitation and dissemination approaches used by the various national agencies (e.

g.

, ESA, NASA, NOAA) charged with extracting information from these data.

With plans to enlarge the application areas, the challenge is increasingly going to be how to enlarge the usability of the millions of images being stored in archives and being collected in real-time for a larger and larger group of end-user applications (e.

g.

, climate change, security, land use, weather).
