ODIN-fire

open source software framework to create servers that are used to process and visualize a multiple of wildfire related static and dynamic data from ground sensors, satellites, weather forecasts, fire behavior simulators and more. ODIN-fire supports building web servers for 3D geospatial content from composable micro service layers. It is meant to be an extensible and open platform for research organizations, local communities/government and commercial entities.

serviceDesc <p>ODIN is a software framework to efficiently create servers that support disaster management. More specifically it is a framework to build servers that import and process an open number of external data sources for information such as weather, ground-, aerial- and space-based sensors, threat assessment, simulation, vehicle/crew tracking and many more. The over-arching goal is to improve situational awareness of stakeholders by making more - and more timely - information available in stakeholder-specific applications. The main challenge for this is not the availability of data, it is how this data can be integrated in extensible and customizable applications.</p><p><br></p><p>We want to mitigate the&nbsp;information fragmentation- and compartmentalization problem. No more hopping between dozens of browser tabs. No more manual refreshes to stay up-to-date. No more printouts to communicate. No more take-it-or-leave-it systems that can't be extended.</p><p><br></p><p>ODINs goal is&nbsp;not&nbsp;to create yet another website that is supposed to replace all the ones that already exist. We want to enable stakeholder organizations to assemble&nbsp;their&nbsp;server applictions showing the information&nbsp;they&nbsp;need, with the capability to run those servers/applications on&nbsp;their&nbsp;machines (even out in the field if need be). We also want to do this in a way that makes it easy to integrate new data sources and functions as they become available from government, research organizations and commercial vendors. We want ODIN to be extensible, scalable, portable and - last not least - accessible.</p><p>To that end ODIN is open sourced under&nbsp;Apache v2 license. It is a library you can use and extend in your projects.</p>

serviceUsageInfo <p>Our vision for ODIN goes beyond a single stakeholder. We want it to be an open (freely available) platform for both users and developers. The ODIN maintainers are just one part of the puzzle, developing and maintaining the core framework other developers can build on. We only see our role in creating generic components that implement a consistent, extensible and scalable architecture. Learn more at: https://odin-fire.org/book/intro.html</p>

usageInfo <p>We are a group of current and former NASA employees who want to bring technology to bear in order to curb the ever increasing threat from natural disasters. We want to become a true community project in which all individuals, research organizations and companies who share this goal can participate to create an open platform that is free and accessible for all stakeholders. Stakeholders are both users and providers. Users are more than firefighters - we especially want to give local communities and organizations that are most threatened the information to assess and mitigate those threats. Providers are more than the framework developers - they include companies offering sensors or data products and research organizations inventing new models. In short, we want ODIN-fire to be the common ground for all these groups. If you want to learn more please send us email to info@odin-fire.org and check back while we build this website.</p>
