Content Management and Control

NAVIPEDIA is an electronic repository of knowledge related to GNSS. It is a common entry point, that enables users to access an updated information of the existing GNSS Systems, applications, receivers and fundamentals.

NAVIPEDIA adopts the concept of Media-wiki products - anyone can comment, propose modification to an existing article, suggest a new topic or submit a draft article. However, there is an important difference that distinguishes NAVIPEDIA from other wikies. A robust content management and control process ensures the needed quality, reliability and consistency of stored GNSS information.

More detailed information on content development and quality assurance procedures can be obtained from the dedicated article on NAVIPEDIA Content Management.

NAVIPEDIA content development priorities remain, being focused on:

• Who: GNSS
• Where: Globally
• What: GNSS Systems, GNSS Fundamentals, GNSS Applications, GNSS Receivers
• GNSS Community: General users, University, GNSS expert users

Our Content Development objectives were to achieve core GNSS subject coverage in the following categories:

• GNSS Systems: GALILEO, GPS, GLONASS, COMPASS
• Augmented GNSS Systems: EGNOS, WAAS, MSAS, …
• GNSS Fundamentals
• GNSS Applications
• GNSS Receivers

NAVIPEDIA Partners

NAVIPEDIA has been initiated by ESA in partnership with the following organisations:

• UNOOSA[1] – United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs

The initiative aims at developing a comprehensive source of GNSS information and making it available to users worldwide.

NAVIPEDIA's Strategic Objective

NAVIPEDIA's objective is to become a single point of reference for GNSS knowledge. The NAVIPEDIA knowledgebase is a dynamic enterprise and has taken several years to develop. To develop further, and maintain the accuracy and relevance of the knowledgebase, will require the support and active participation of all those interested in promoting best practice and knowledge in GNSS.
