[OSGeo-Discuss] 52°North Announces Winners of Student Innovation Prize for Geoinformatics
52°North is pleased to announce the winners <http://52north.org/52north/news/winners-of-the-student-innovation-prize-ann ounced> of the 52°North Student Innovation Prize for Geoinformatics 2011! This years jury awarded the following prizes. 1. First Prize: Tobias Kohr of the University of Technology Dresden for his paper Development of a service-based Geoportal enabling the Mapping of Whale Watching 2. Second Prize: Marcell Roth from the Insitute for Geoinformatics at the University of Muenster for his paper Geographic Feature Pipes. Tobias Kohrs submission Development of a service-based Geoportal enabling the Mapping of Whale Watching proposes the implementation of a system for entering and retrieving whale observations by animal-rights activists or volunteers having a general interested in nature. The concept supports multilingualism while implementing well established open technological standards to address the particular requirements and interests of these user groups. The innovative aspect of this system is not so much the development of new technologies, but rather the use of existing technologies to solve a socially relevant problem. Various technological building blocks and open source software components come together to an overall system which enables the collection, organization, retrieval and dissemination of volunteered geographic information. In this case, the focus of the information is the observations of whales, which - like no other animal species stand for an endangered species fight for survival. Not only can this system provide valuable data to whale watchers, researchers and animal activists, but it can also help to broaden public awareness and discussion of endangered species protection. By awarding first prize to this concept, 52°North acknowledges that technological innovation, in the end, is needed to support society to manage the earths resources in a more sustainable way. In his paper Geographic Feature Pipes, Marcell Roth proposes Linked Data as a trendsetting way to solve the problem of linking and aggregating data coming from different web services. OGC standards are combined with subject-specific ontologies to analyze complex spatial or spatio-temporal questions. The Geographic Feature Pipes portray a process for translating data from OGC Web Services in to the Linked Data Model. This process can also be used to continually update spatially dynamic Linked Data data sets. Thus, Geographic Feature Pipes help to build up the Geospatial Semantic Web. 52°North considers this technologically oriented proposal important for future development of spatial data infrastructures. This innovation prize was designed to encourage students to contribute to innovation in the field of geoinformatics. It acknowledges and financially rewards outstanding innovative and trendsetting concepts and announces them to a greater audience. First Prize is endowed with 1.500 EUR, plus reimbursement of expenses for presenting a paper at a Geoinformatics conference in 2011/2012 (travel, accommodation, fees) up to 1.000 EUR. Second Prize reimburses expenses for presenting a paper at a Geoinformatics conference in 2011/2012 (travel, accommodation, fees) up to 500 EUR. The innovation prize is sponsored by 52°North GmbH, con terra GmbH, ESRI Deutschland GmbH, the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente and the Institute for Geoinformatics at the University of Muenster. These institutions work together under the banner of the 52°North Open Source Initiative to promote research and education in the field of Geoinformatics. A central part of 52°Norths activities is the constant exchange of research ideas and innovative developments between academia and business. Based in Muenster, the 52°North Initiative possesses a level of potential which is unique throughout Europe when it comes to the development of innovative solutions in the field of geoinformation as a whole, as well as in its constituent applications.

[OSGeo-Discuss] New 52°North Metadata Management Project - con terra's smartEditor goes open source -
Dear List, con terra GmbH, specialist in the development and operation of spatial data infrastructures, and the 52°North Initiative for Geospatial Open Source Software GmbH establish a new 52°North Open Source Project on metadata management, based on con terra´s smartEditor software. Metadata is an essential means for providing access to spatial data and spatial information services. Accordingly, metadata is one of the main building blocks of INSPIRE, the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe. con terras smartEditor is a powerful component of the sdi.suite terraCatalog for collecting and editing metadata, incorporating an extensive range of INSPIRE functions. It is widely used at all administrative levels from local authorities to state level departments. As such it feeds metadata catalogues all across Europe. Time, however, does not stand still and both requirements and technologies evolve continuously. With this in mind, con terra has decided to adopt the 52°North community process to evaluate new techniques which appear on the horizon and to jointly embrace the development of advanced methods and tools for metadata management. As a first contribution, con terra has migrated its software product smartEditor to this new 52°North open source project. The software is now available under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license (http://52north.org/communities/metadata-management-community/) and can be easily integrated in the Esri Geoportal Server. The smartEditor will continue to be an integral part of the sdi.suite, shipped with the sdi.suite terraCatalog and complimented with a full package of support and maintenance services. http://52north.org http://www.conterra.de Best regards, Ann Hitchcock -- Ann Hitchcock 52°North Initiative for Geospatial Open Source Software GmbH Martin-Luther-King-Weg 24 48155 Muenster, Germany tel. +49 (0)251 396371 -0 fax: +49 (0)251 396371 -11 a.hitchc...@52north.org http://52north.org General Managers: Dr. Albert Remke, Dr. Andreas Wytzisk Local Court Muenster HRB 10849 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] Geospatial Sensing Conference 2020 - Call for Abstracts
Dear List, We realize that many are currently in the process of cancelling participation in events or are in the process of cancelling events themselves. Despite the current uncertainty, we hope that the Corona Virus situation will have developed to a point that we will be able to hold our conference in Münster at the end of August. If this is not possible, we are planning to hold it as a Web Conference. The 52°North Open Innovation Network now publishes the Call for Abstracts based on this decision. Geospatial Sensing 2020 - From Sensing to Understanding our World Earth observation networks, e.g. in-situ sensors and remote sensing systems, deliver a multitude of data capturing the state of our environment. These data sets are highly valued by scientists and stakeholders from a variety of domains and backgrounds such as hydrology, marine sciences, traffic management, environmental monitoring, energy supply or smart city systems. An active research and development community works on new approaches to share, manage, discover, analyze, and visualize geospatial sensor data. The Geospatial Sensing Conference provides a platform for scientists, developers and users to examine current challenges, present best practices and discuss future developments. The conference takes place August 31 – September 2, 2020 in Münster (Germany). Our focus ‘From Sensing to Understanding our World’ includes sensor data interpretation, analysis and visualization, tools and infrastructures for sharing geospatial sensor data, and novel sensor platforms. Join us to discover, exchange ideas about, and discuss new developments, emerging technologies, as well as ongoing research activities in the field of geospatial sensing. The 52°North Open Innovation Network invites researchers, software developers and practitioners to submit abstracts as presentation proposals. This year’s program includes an EDC Forum session, which particularly invites members of Esri’s EDC community to present and discuss their work in the field of Geospatial Sensing.

[OSGeo-Discuss] 52°North Announces Winners of S tudent Innovation Prize for Geoinformatics 2010
Dear List, 52°North is pleased to announce the winners of the 52°North Student Innovation Prize for Geoinformatics 2010! This year's jury of prominent members of the GI community has decided to award two first prizes. The winners are: 1. Alexander McKeown and James McHugh from the Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization (CSIRO) ICT Centre in Tasmania, Australia with their proposal "Developing an SOS Client for Use by the General Public". The jury was impressed by their concept for mainstreaming Sensor Web Enablement technology. The proposed project will be a valuable addition to the currently available spectrum of SOS clients. The client described will allow the general public to consume sensor data provided by SOS instances, thus advancing Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) technology into the world of mainstream IT applications. 2. Daniel Nüst from the Institute for Geoinformatics in Muenster, Germany with his proposal " SOS4R - Accessing a Sensor Observation Service from R". He impressed the jury with his innovative approach of extending R, an open source software environment for statistical computing, to integrate data provided by an SOS. The proposed R extension will allow the integration of real-time, as well as, historic sensor data sets into geostatistical analysis applications via a standardized interface. This will enable R users access to the broad range of sensor data sources that support the OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards. Not only will this create a completely new user community for SWE services, it will also enable users with no knowledge of the underlying IT architecture to access SOS instances. In addition to receiving a reward of 2.000,- EUR/prize, the winners have the unique opportunity to work together with 52°North students and academic personnel to develop their concepts and realize prototypical implementations thereof. This collaboration is coupled with a stay at the 52°North Initiative in Muenster. This innovation prize was designed to encourage students to contribute to the development and practical realization of innovative concepts in the field of geoinformatics. It is being awarded by 52°North GmbH, con terra GmbH, ESRI Deutschland GmbH, the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC in Enschede) and the Institute for Geoinformatics at the University of Muenster. These institutions work together under the banner of the 52°North Open Source Initiative, with the common aim of promoting research and education in the field of geoinformatics. A central foundation of 52°North's activities is the continuous exchange of research topics and innovative developments between academia and business. Located in Muenster, the 52°North Initiative possesses a level of potential which is unique throughout Europe when it comes to the development of innovative solutions in the field of geoinformation as a whole, as well as in its constituent applications. We congratulate the winners! Best regards, Ann Hitchcock ----- Dipl.-Geogr.
