Cécile HERBAULT- EDSN Presentation 10

Open Interfaces and Standards

• IP based standards• XML based standards• Based on the IPFN architecture of ETSI - SPAN

which is an open interworking platform (EG201936)

• e-procedures which will allow to customize information according to different national policies

Cécile HERBAULT- EDSN Presentation 11

Project Methodology

• Users needs definition

• System operational specifications definition

• System architecture definition

• System components development

• Full system validation on plate-form

• System validation at different levels during the trials

• System evaluation by users partners during the trials

• Assessment and results dissemination (ETSI)

• System components integration

• System components validation on platform

• Users Group

Cécile HERBAULT- EDSN Presentation 12

Conclusion

• EGERIS is an European project on emergency system for civil protection agencies

• EGERIS is based on Open Interfaces and standards

• EGERIS allows Interworking of several different networks

• Its aim is to offer a Generic Information System platform based on 4 Trials in Europe : France, Italy, Spain and Czech Republic
