What is OpenEarth?

OpenEarth is a free and open source initiative to deal with Data, Models and Tools in marine & coastal engineering projects. In current practice, research, consultancy and construction projects commonly spend a significant part of their budget to setup some basic infrastructure for data and knowledge management. Most of these efforts disappear again once the project is finished. As an alternative to these ad-hoc approaches, OpenEarth aims for a more continuous approach to data & knowledge management. It provides a platform to archive, host and disseminate high quality data,

and

for

practical

analysis.

Through

this

project-superseding

approach,

marine

&

coastal

engineers

and

scientists

can

learn

from

experiences

in

previous

projects

and

each

other.

This

may

lead

to

considerable

efficiency

gains,

both

in

terms

of

budget

and

time.
