SpaceSUITE is currently extending the Body of Knowledge (BoK) of Earth Observation and Geo-information towards the space downstream sector. To this end, three new knowledge areas, with their respective concepts, are being included: GNSS, Satellite Communication and Satellite Systems. With this extension, the Body of Knowledge is also being rebranded, and will henceforth be called GeoSpace BoK.

The Body of Knowledge is essentially a hierarchical knowledge graph, whereby nodes are concepts and edges are sub/superconcept relations that define the hierarchy. As such, the highest level concepts represent areas of knowledge and are broken down into more detailed concepts. Other relationships between concepts are also defined (similar as, prerequisite, postrequisite). Each concept has a permanent URL to easily and uniformly refer to it, a description, relationships to other concepts and associated skills. Versioning and an advanced search is available to search in concepts and their fields.

In SpaceSUITE, we leverage the resources and tools developed in the EO4GEO project, particularly the EO4GEO Body of Knowledge (BoK), which describes the knowledge of the EO*GI domain in terms of concepts and relationships between them, and includes associated skills, the BoK platform, which
allows software development based on the BoK, and the Ecosystem of Tools, which are based on the BoK and support stakeholder in the skills-related tasks (e.g. curriculum design, occupational profiles, job offers, etc.).
