Abstract
Emerging Spatial Data Infrastructures and non-spatial Web Service environments allow new approaches to dynamically integrate information sources. The ability for dynamic information integration provides the basis on which an emergency management system should allow its users to create spatial, temporal and structural views on the emergency situation. Furthermore, dynamic information aggregation and generalization should allow tailoring the presented information to the users' requirements. In combining a SOA-based information processing approach with a user-centric perspective on information visualization and handling, we introduce the approach taken in the SoKNOS project to develop a new generation of emergency management systems.
