""MYGEOSS" CALL ANNOUNCEMENT on smart mobile or web-based applications to inform European citizens on the changes affecting their local environment

The European Commission (DG RTD and JRC) is launching an open call for the development of innovative applications (mobile or web-based) using openly available or crowd-generated data in different domains addressing citizens’ needs.

The pool of open data for use includes but is not limited to the Data Collection of Open Resources for Everyone (GEOSS Data-CORE) made available by the Group on Earth observation (GEO) through the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), as well as open data from EU-funded projects.

The focus of this call will be on developing applications that will provide users with quantitative or qualitative information on the changing environment, e.g. change detection in climate, biodiversity, water bodies, coastal areas, built environment, green areas, forestry, agricultural land and crops, and atmospheric composition.

Launch of the call: 18 March

Deadline for submitting application concept, prototype, or user story: 30 April

Nyfsz rajongók! The Europa Challenge is coming on for 2015 !

Patrick Hogan NASA World Wind projektmenedzser írja Március 22-én:

"This is an interesting ‘open source’ use of World Wind ^Java^ for dendrochronological research: http://www.tellervo.org/tutorials/mapping.php

This video might be more interesting for some basic capabilities (i.e., layers) and user interface. The web version will provide as much.

For the web version of World Wind, we still only have the growing suite of simple demos, the HTML files located here, http://worldwindserver.net/webworldwind/examples/

We are looking forward to premiering the first scientific or city management apps using ^Web^ World Wind."

Copernicus rendezvény az Európai Földtudományos Unió bécsi közgyűlésén

Mai postánkból. A 2015 április 12-17 között Bécsben rendezendő Európai Földtudományok Únió (EGU) közgyűlése kapcsán az ESSI 2.9  szekció-szervező Bernd Ritschel arra hívja fel a CEOS WGISS munkacsoport résztvevői figyelmét, hogy január közepéig még jelentkezni lehet a kérdéses szekció szervezési és lebonyolítási tennivalóiban való közreműködésre. HUNAGI ajánlja a földmegfigyelés terén működő tagjai és partnerei számára, hogy éljenek a lehetőséggel, amennyiben interdiszciplináris, projektközi vagy akár határokat átívelő együttműködésről tudnak beszámolni, ahol az interoperabilitás és adatkezelő rendszerek interoperabilitásában tapasztalatokat gyűjtöttek. A Duna Régió Stratégia program különösen alkalmas példa lehet, amennyiben már vannak hazi eredmények és tapasztalatok.

ESSI2.9

International cross-project collaboration and interoperability of data management systems

Convener: Bernd Ritschel 
Co-Conveners: Toshihiko Iyemori , Yukinobu KOYAMA , Akiyo Yatagai , Wim Hugo 

Abstract Submission

Convener Login

This session is targeted to all geoscientists, computer and information scientists who want to present their expertise and experiences in cross-project collaboration activities especially related to the design of technical solutions for the achievement of interoperability between different data management systems. Such questions as harvesting of metadata and data, the combining of data catalogs and repositories, the merge of underlying data models and used vocabularies, the mutual use of Web based application services and the general enhancement of data integration related to small and big data can be addressed.

"The summer of 2015 marks the twenty-year anniversary of the International Early-Career Scholars Institutes in GIScience.

The organizers and participants in those previous Institutes in co-sponsorship with the Vespucci Initiative invite a new generation of early-career GIScience scholars to with join us to explore Advancing Geographic Information Science: The Past and Next Twenty Years.

A maximum of 25 early-career scholars will be accepted for the conference based upon full-paper or extended abstract submissions. Full papers will be peer-reviewed and, if accepted for the Institute, will be conditionally accepted for inclusion in the book arising from the Institute.

This is not your usual conference. The Institute is designed for maximum interaction in participatory research challenge discussions, presentations, projects, panels and cooperative and competitive research-focused activities. It will also engage participants in informal settings and outdoor opportunities to encourage extended discourse among early-career and senior scholar participants. 

Theme: Advancing Geographic Information Science: The Past and Next Twenty Years

Location: College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbor, Maine

Dates: June 29 - July 3, 2015
