Open Knowledge and GEO Knowledge Hub

The GEO Knowledge Hub (GKH) GEO Knowledge Hub (earthobservations.org) is the central cloud-based digital library providing access to Earth Observations applications developed by the GEO Work Programme Activities. The GEO Knowledge Hub is part of the GEOSS Infrastructure and helps the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) to advance Open Knowledge.The scope of the GKH is to promote the replicability and re-usability of EO Applications by sharing with the end users, all the Knowledge Resources essential to fully understand and re-use them.

Participants to the side event will learn what the GEO Knowledge Hub can offer from a user and knowledge provider perspective as well learn from the experience of knowledge providers who are using it to share their reproducible knowledge.
