Abstract
The analysis and preparation of information are still particularly critical points in the early warning chain of natural hazards. Also there is a strong demand for analyzing geological hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis. Therefore the management of heterogeneous and large sets of geodata may become one of the key issues in early warning and emergency management. Geodatabases may support the analysis of landslides significantly, as the responsible decision makers are usually confronted with huge amounts of original and interpreted data. The 3D/4D geodatabase introduced in this chapter provides efficient geodata retrieval by its service-based architecture which enables an easy-to-use internet-based geodata access . Concepts and implementation issues for the management of spatial and spatiotemporal data are presented. An application scenario for early warning demonstrates the applicability of the proposed approach. Finally a conclusion and an outlook on future research are presented within a distributed software environment for early warning geotools.
