GeoRSS Based Emergency Response Information Sharing and Visualization

Spatial information played a very important role in these emergency responses. Map can easily show where and how the emergency event is happening. In order to map the emergency response information on real time, Geographically Encoded Objects for RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds which called GeoRSS technology is used. GeoRSS technology is a way to encode location in RSS feeds. GeoRSS could provide an easy way for emergency response teams to pool information onto one central map. An example demo of forest fire will be shown how to share and visualizing the emergency information based on GeoRSS. In the end, we will talk about the tendency of the GeoRSS and the future work.
