Satellite imagery map produced by LOSAMBA Project in July 2009 using DigitalGlobe QuickBird imagery. This map provides an overall view of the whole of Lihou Reef with key information for all major and minor Cays as well as close-up insets of five major vegetated Cays. To be used in conjuction with "Lihou Reef Minor Cays " Imagery Map (GeoCat 69319)

ESRIN, The European Space Agency's centre for Earth observation, and Australia's Federal Geoscience Agency, Geoscience Australia (GA), are undertaking parallel development of methodologies to enable management of Earth observation data collection, configuration and management. ESA has developed a common approach through a systematic collect, consolidate, configure and report workflow. GA are developing their solution with a view to manage rapid, frequent, iterative collection production. Both approaches, though quite differently implemented, show a great deal of convergence on aspects of managing large EO archives. This paper investigates the two projects, the drivers that led to their initiation and the scope of each project. We review the reasons that each organisation has embarked on their project and consider how these requirements have shaped the implemented systems and examine the benefits that the chosen solution provides. The underlying IT infrastructure have facilitated these ambitious projects, we consider the technologies used and how their rapid evolution will impact on these activities. The paper concludes by reviewing similarities and overlap that these two projects may have and considers if each project may benefit from adopting some aspect of the other project.
