GEOPORTAL

HSRS signed contract with IBM about cooperation on implementation of Czech INSPIRE Geoportal.

Dear colleagues,

the forthcoming GI2011-X-border-SDI/GDI-Symposium (  "11. Sächsisches GIS-Forum"  ) will be in year 2011 a real Cross-border event, to be held 23./24.05.2011 in "Bohemia&Saxonia Switzerland",  the National Park Zentrum of Euroregion "Elbe/Labe" (EEL) on both sides of the border between Bad Schandau (SAX) and Decin (CZE).

Today CENIA made available Czech INSPIRE Portal Version 1.0 . It is first version, currently only in Czech. Next versions will come soon

Today our community on LinkedIn reachs 100 members

Due the fact, that we would like to contribute to building SDI globally we decide to connect two our initiatives Geoportal4everybody and activity of Czech Coordination Office for UNSDI. We decide to merge both existing portal www.unsdi.cz and http://www.geoportal4everybody.eu.

With full implementation of URM principles on Geoportal4everybody all articles could be easy search using catalogue functionality.

PRELIMINARY-INFORMATION:

        GI2011-X-border-SDI/GDI-SYMPOSIUM

FOCUS:

        EUROPE OF BORDER REGIONS

        SUSTAINABILITY OF INTER-REGIONAL COLLABORATION

We implemented the Spanish NEM v1.1 profile into our metadata catalog MIcKA. This is used in project at University of Las Palmas de Grand Canaria (http://ide-ulpgc.eu) and in Geo-portal of Tenerife Island Goverment (http://atlastenerife.eu) both realized in colaboration with the Spanish enterprise cenIT. The profile was developed at http://idee.es

This paper introduce ideas to build social space for sharing spatial data, information, but also experience with sharing  spatial data. The objective of  4rh way to SDI  is not to build one node or access point for accessing or  collecting spatial information, the objective is to build network of nodes, where every node could be your access point for spatial information.  The  objective of 4rh way to SDI  is not to be alternative of such public initiatives like INSPIRE, GEOSS,  GMESS or UNSDI but to give chance to anybody to profit from formed Global SDI using standards coming from this initiatives and using interoperability rules defined mainly by Open Geospatial Consortium and W3C. The objective of 4rh way to SDI   is not replace such useful initiatives as OpenStreetMap, but to make results of such initiatives  better accessible for everybody. The objective of 4rh way to SDI   is not to remove such solution like Google Map or others, but give some alternative, where on one side people could share information in different environment including for example Google.  The objective of 4rh way to SDI  is to support utilisation of Open Sources, but so called proprietary solution are not excluded from network, key aspect is interoperability. Objective of 4rh way to SDI  is also give chance to share and use spatial information to people, who doesn’t have necessary infrastructure.

The paper describe concept for Sharing Information Inside Communities -  Uniform Resource Management (URM), which support validation, discovery and access to heterogeneous information and knowledge. It is based on utilisation of metadata schemes. The URM models currently also integrate different tools, which support sharing of knowledge. The URM concept was introduced by NaturNet Redime  project as tool for managing of educational context and now is modified for general sharing of information inside of community in c@r project. The concept is now partly implemented as part of Czech metadata portal, Czech portal for United Nation Spatial Data infrastructure and it is also tested in Latvia by BOCS

In recent years, there is much discussion about so called Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) development. This is actively discussed at  uropean level (INSPIRE), at national levels, but also globally in the United Nations context (UN SDI). There are technological solutions, but these are in many cases not available for small data providers or for an organization or enterprise, which don’t have their own servers. There is a possibility to use Google technology, but this doesn’t fulfil the requirements of SDI building, which has both institutional and technical aspects. This paper describes so called GeoHosting technology, based on implementing rules for INSPIRE and UN SDI and OGC standards. Described are three basic models: use free - publish free, outsource your data services, use your own solution

Presentation on IST Africa 2010

The book "The book "INSPIRE, GMES and GEOSS Activities, Methods and Tools towards a Single Information Space in Europe for the Environment" has been published within the EarthLookCZ project. The book describes not only results of the EarthLookCZ project but also ideas about GMES initiatives and related activities using experience of others European projects." has been published within the EarthLookCZ project. The book describes not only results of the EarthLookCZ project but also ideas about GMES initiatives and related activities using experience of others European projects.

Presetnation on conference ICT for Agriculture organised by Progis in entebe, Uganda on 16th and 17th November  2010

This portal become now flag ship of development of Czech centra for Science and Society and Help Service Remont Sensing

The aim of  Plan4all WP3 was to define the European metadata profile for spatial planning, which will cover the requirements given by national legislation and the INSPIRE Directive. The work includes:

• to analyse the requirements on spatial planning metadata given by national legislation.
• to define the European metadata profile (platform neutral) for spatial planning.

The concept of 4^thway to SDI and GeoPortal4everybody were first time officially presented on INSPIRE conference in Krakow on 23^rdand 24^thof June
