I was beginning to think Microsoft was really changing its stripes when it came to interoperability and playing nice with the rest of the IT landscape. Maybe Microsoft Research didn’t get the memo? As Adena reports in the All Points Blog, they reinvent what OGC has been doing for years (e.g. in OWS-4) with the Eagle 1 project which coordinates the IT infrastructure needed for collaboration and communication with integrated Data and maps for emergency response.
This reminds me of another Microsoft Research initiative in the sensor web field that once again reinvents a wheel OGC members have been working on for years.
Hey Microsoft Research. If you really want to change the world, let’s work together, OK?
Raj-
I couldn’t agree with you more about MS needing to embracing interoperable standards.
The SenseWeb link you provided is no longer valid. I think it has been moved to:
