About the project FOODIE project aims at creating a platform hub on the cloud where spatial and non-spatial data related to agricultural sector is available for agri-food stakeholders groups and interoperable. It will offer: an infrastructure for the building of an interacting and collaborative network; the integration of existing open datasets related to agriculture; data publication and data linking of external agriculture data sources, providing specific and high- value applications and services for the support of planning and decision-making processes. FOODIE project is addressed to four basic groups of users: a) stakeholders from the agriculture sector as end- users of final applications, b) public sector for communication with farmers about taxation, subsidies and regulation, c) researchers for large scale experimentation on real data and d) ICT companies for the development of new applications for agriculture and food sector, mainly using implemented tools FOODIE specifically works on three pilots: Pilot 1: Precision Viticulture (Spain) will focus on the appropriate management of the inherent variability of crops, Pilot 2: Open Data for Strategic and Tactical Planning (Czech Republic) will focus on improving future management of agricultural companies (farms) by introducing new tools and management methods, Pilot 3: Technology allows integration of logistics via service providers and farm management including traceability (Germany).

  • Ofbiz an Insider View
    OFBiz An Insider View Prepared By: Basil Argasosy Senior Computer Engineering Student King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (K.F.U.P.M) September 01, 2005 Contact Information [email protected] [email protected] or through my personal webpage 1 OFBiz : An Insider View Introduction: The OFBiz framework utilizes the common Three-Tier “Layers” Architecture model in all its applications. It has the Data Layer, the Business “logic” layer, and the Presentation “user interface” layer. The Data Layer and the Service layer have their own engines that are responsible for interaction with the layer. 1) Data Model Layer: It represents the database. There is an Entity Engine that is responsible of this layer that includes database connection, data retrieval, data storage…etc. It used the java Generic Delegator class to connect with the database, and it uses the java Generic Value to represent an entity row to be inserted in the database. 2) Business Logic Layer: It represents the logic, or the services provided to the user and performed on the data layer "database”. There can be services of many types like java, SOAP, simple, workflow, etc. and each type of service has its own handler. There is a Service Engine that is responsible for dealing with services, calling the service, etc. 3) Presentation Layer: OFBiz has moved to use "Screens" to represent the OFBiz pages. So, each page should normally be represented as a screen. An OFBiz page consists of many components like headers, footer, appheader,..etc, so when rendering the page, these are all combined in the order they were placed, or included, in the screen.

    Understanding and Working with the OGC Geopackage Keith Ryden Lance Shipman Introduction - Introduction to Simple Features - What is the GeoPackage? - Esri Support - Looking ahead… Geographic Things 3 Why add spatial data to a database? • The premise: - People want to manage spatial data in association with their standard business data. - Spatial data is simply another “property” of a business object. • The approach: - Utilize the existing SQL data access model. - Define a simple geometry object. - Define well known representations for passing structured data between systems. - Define a simple metadata schema so applications can find the spatial data. - Integrate support for spatial data types with commercial RDBMS software. Simple Feature Model 10 area1 yellow Feature Table 11 area2 green 12 area3 Blue Feature 13 area4 red Geometry Feature Attribute • Feature Tables contain rows (features) sharing common properties (Feature Attributes). • Geometry is a Feature Attribute.

  • A Survey of Geospatial Semantic Web for Cultural Heritage
    heritage Review A Survey of Geospatial Semantic Web for Cultural Heritage Ikrom Nishanbaev 1,* , Erik Champion 1 and David A. McMeekin 2 1 School of Media, Creative Arts, and Social Inquiry, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia; [email protected] 2 School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 April 2019; Accepted: 16 May 2019; Published: 20 May 2019 Abstract: The amount of digital cultural heritage data produced by cultural heritage institutions is growing rapidly. Digital cultural heritage repositories have therefore become an efficient and effective way to disseminate and exploit digital cultural heritage data. However, many digital cultural heritage repositories worldwide share technical challenges such as data integration and interoperability among national and regional digital cultural heritage repositories. The result is dispersed and poorly-linked cultured heritage data, backed by non-standardized search interfaces, which thwart users’ attempts to contextualize information from distributed repositories. A recently introduced geospatial semantic web is being adopted by a great many new and existing digital cultural heritage repositories to overcome these challenges. However, no one has yet conducted a conceptual survey of the geospatial semantic web concepts for a cultural heritage audience. A conceptual survey of these concepts pertinent to the cultural heritage field is, therefore, needed. Such a survey equips cultural heritage professionals and practitioners with an overview of all the necessary tools, and free and open source semantic web and geospatial semantic web platforms that can be used to implement geospatial semantic web-based cultural heritage repositories.

  • Developing Geosparql Applications with Oracle Spatial and Graph
    Developing GeoSPARQL Applications with Oracle Spatial and Graph Matthew Perry, Ana Estrada, Souripriya Das, Jayanta Banerjee Oracle, One Oracle Drive, Nashua, NH 03062, USA Abstract. Oracle Spatial and Graph – RDF Semantic Graph, an option for Ora- cle Database 12c, is the only mainstream commercial RDF triplestore that sup- ports the OGC GeoSPARQL standard for spatial data on the Semantic Web. This demonstration will give an overview of the GeoSPARQL implementation in Oracle Spatial and Graph and will show how to load, index and query spatial RDF data. In addition, this demonstration will discuss complimentary tools such as Oracle Map Viewer. 1 Introduction The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) published the GeoSPARQL standard in 2012 [1]. This standard defines, among other things, a vocabulary for representing geospatial data in RDF and an extension of the W3C SPARQL query language [4] that allows spatial processing. Oracle Database has provided support for RDF data with the Spatial and Graph op- tion since 2005. GeoSPARQL has been supported since 2013, beginning with version 12c Release 1 [2]. Oracle Spatial and Graph is the only mainstream commercial RDF triplestore that supports significant components of the OGC GeoSPARQL standard. A demonstration of Oracle’s technology will give an overview of the current state-of- the-art for managing linked geospatial data. The remainder of this paper describes major components of OGC GeoSPARQL and then discusses the architecture of Oracle Spatial and Graph. This is followed by a description of key features of Oracle Spatial and Graph that will be demonstrated. 2 The OGC GeoSPARQL Standard The OGC GeoSPARQL standard defines a number of components ranging from top-level OWL classes to a set of rules for query transformations.
