Gvsos: a New Client for Ogc® Sos Interface Standard
GVSOS: A NEW CLIENT FOR OGC® SOS INTERFACE STANDARD Alain Tamayo Fong i GVSOS: A NEW CLIENT FOR OGC® SOS INTERFACE STANDARD Dissertation supervised by PhD Joaquín Huerta PhD Fernando Bacao Laura Díaz March, 2009 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank to professors Joaquin Huerta and Michael Gould for their support during every step of the Master Degree Program. I would also like to thanks the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship program for giving me the chance to be part of this wonderful experience. Last, to all my colleagues and friends, thank you for making this time together so pleasant. iii GVSOS: A NEW CLIENT FOR OGC® SOS INTERFACE STANDARD ABSTRACT The popularity of sensor networks has increased very fast recently. A major problem with these networks is achieving interoperability between different networks which are potentially built using different platforms. OGC’s specifications allow clients to access geospatial data without knowing the details about how this data is gathered or stored. Currently OGC is working on an initiative called Sensor Web Enablement (SWE), for specifying interoperability interfaces and metadata encodings that enable real‐time integration of heterogeneous sensor webs into the information infrastructure. In this work we present the implementation of gvSOS, a new module for the GIS gvSIG to connect to Sensor Observation Services (SOS). The SOS client module allows gvSIG users to interact with SOS servers, displaying the information gathered by sensors in a layer composed by features. We present the detailed software engineering development process followed to build the module. For each step of the process we specify the main obstacles found during the development such as, restrictions of the gvSIG architecture, inaccuracies in the OGC’s specifications, and a set of common problems found in current SOS servers implementations available on the Internet. -
Declarative Access to Filesystem Data New Application Domains for XML Database Management Systems
Declarative Access to Filesystem Data New application domains for XML database management systems Alexander Holupirek Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) Fachbereich Informatik und Informationswissenschaft Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Sektion Universität Konstanz Referenten: Prof. Dr. Marc H. Scholl Prof. Dr. Marcel Waldvogel Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 17. Juli 2012 Abstract XML and state-of-the-art XML database management systems (XML-DBMSs) can play a leading role in far more application domains as it is currently the case. Even in their basic configuration, they entail all components necessary to act as central systems for complex search and retrieval tasks. They provide language-specific index- ing of full-text documents and can store structured, semi-structured and binary data. Besides, they offer a great variety of standardized languages (XQuery, XSLT, XQuery Full Text, etc.) to develop applications inside a pure XML technology stack. Benefits are obvious: Data, logic, and presentation tiers can operate on a single data model, and no conversions have to be applied when switching in between. This thesis deals with the design and development of XML/XQuery driven informa- tion architectures that process formerly heterogeneous data sources in a standardized and uniform manner. Filesystems and their vast amounts of different file types are a prime example for such a heterogeneous dataspace. A new XML dialect, the Filesystem Markup Language (FSML), is introduced to construct a database view of the filesystem and its contents. FSML provides a uniform view on the filesystem’s contents and allows developers to leverage the complete XML technology stack on filesystem data. -
(Iso19107) of the Open Geospatial Consortium
Technical Report A Java Implementation of the OpenGIS™ Feature Geometry Abstract Specification (ISO 19107 Spatial Schema) Sanjay Dominik Jena, Jackson Roehrig {[email protected], [email protected]} University of Applied Sciences Cologne Institute for Technology in the Tropics Version 0.1 July 2007 ABSTRACT The Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) Feature Geometry Abstract Specification (ISO/TC211 19107) describes a geometric and topological data structure for two and three dimensional representations of vector data. GeoAPI, an OGC working group, defines inter- face APIs derived from the ISO 19107. GeoTools provides an open source Java code library, which implements (OGC) specifications in close collaboration with GeoAPI projects. This work describes a partial but serviceable implementation of the ISO 19107 specifi- cation and its corresponding GeoAPI interfaces considering previous implementations and related specifications. It is intended to be a first impulse to the GeoTools project towards a full implementation of the Feature Geometry Abstract Specification. It focuses on aspects of spatial operations, such as robustness, precision, persistence and performance. A JUnit Test Suite was developed to verify the compliance of the implementation with the GeoAPI. The ISO 19107 is discussed and proposals for improvement of the GeoAPI are presented. II © Copyright by Sanjay Dominik Jena and Jackson Roehrig 2007 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Our appreciation goes to the whole of the GeoTools and GeoAPI communities, in par- ticular to Martin Desruisseaux, Bryce Nordgren, Jody Garnett and Graham Davis for their extensive support and several discussions, and to the JTS developers, the JTS developer mail- ing list and to those, who will make use of and continue the implementation accomplished in this work. -

Using Map and Reduce for Querying Distributed XML Data
Using Map and Reduce for Querying Distributed XML Data Lukas Lewandowski Master Thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.) Submitted to the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Konstanz Reviewer: Prof. Dr. Marc H. Scholl Prof. Dr. Marcel Waldvogel Abstract Semi-structured information is often represented in the XML format. Although, a vast amount of appropriate databases exist that are responsible for efficiently storing semi- structured data, the vastly growing data demands larger sized databases. Even when the secondary storage is able to store the large amount of data, the execution time of complex queries increases significantly, if no suitable indexes are applicable. This situation is dramatic when short response times are an essential requirement, like in the most real-life database systems. Moreover, when storage limits are reached, the data has to be distributed to ensure availability of the complete data set. To meet this challenge this thesis presents two approaches to improve query evaluation on semi- structured and large data through parallelization. First, we analyze Hadoop and its MapReduce framework as candidate for our distributed computations and second, then we present an alternative implementation to cope with this requirements. We introduce three distribution algorithms usable for XML collections, which serve as base for our distribution to a cluster. Furthermore, we present a prototype implementation using a current open source database, named BaseX, which serves as base for our comprehensive query results. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisors Professor Marc H. Scholl and Professor Marcel Wald- vogel, who have supported me with advice and guidance throughout my master thesis. -

Handling Data Consistency Through Spatial Data Integrity Rules in Constraint Decision Tables
Handling Data Consistency through Spatial Data Integrity Rules in Constraint Decision Tables Fei Wang Vollständiger Abdruck von der Fakultät für Bauingenieur- und Vermessungswesen der Universität der Bundeswehr München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktor- Ingenieurs (Dr.-Ing.) genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzender: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wilhelm Caspary 1.Berichterstatter: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Reinhardt 2.Berichterstatter: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Anders Östman Diese Dissertation wurde am 31. Jan. 2008 bei der Universität der Bundeswehr münchen eingereicht. Tag der Mündlichen Prüfung: 13. Mai 2008 2 3 Abstract With the rapid development of the GIS world, spatial data are being increasingly shared, transformed, used and re-used. The quality of spatial data is put in a high priority because spatial data of inadequate quality is of little value to the GIS community. Several main components of spatial data quality were indentified by international standardization bodies such as ISO/TC 211, OGC and FGDC, which consists of seven usual quality elements: lineage, positional accuracy, attribute accuracy, semantic accuracy, temporal accuracy, logical consistency and completeness (two different names for similar aspects of quality are grouped in the same category). In this dissertation our work focuses on the data consistency issue of the spatial data quality components, which involves the logical consistency as well as semantic and temporal aspects. Due to complex geographic data characteristics, various data capture workflows and different data sources, the final large datasets often result in inconsistency, incompleteness and inaccuracy. To reduce spatial data inconsistency and provide users the data of adequate quality, the specification of spatial data consistency requirements should be explicitly described. -
Evolutionary Tree-Structured Storage: Concepts, Interfaces, and Applications
Evolutionary Tree-Structured Storage: Concepts, Interfaces, and Applications Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences Presented by Marc Yves Maria Kramis at the Faculty of Sciences Department of Computer and Information Science Date of the oral examination: 22.04.2014 First supervisor: Prof. Dr. Marcel Waldvogel Second supervisor: Prof. Dr. Marc Scholl i Abstract Life is subdued to constant evolution. So is our data, be it in research, business or personal information management. From a natural, evolutionary perspective, our data evolves through a sequence of fine-granular modifications resulting in myriads of states, each describing our data at a given point in time. From a technical, anti- evolutionary perspective, mainly driven by technological and financial limitations, we treat the modifications as transient commands and only store the latest state of our data. It is surprising that the current approach is to ignore the natural evolution and to willfully forget about the sequence of modifications and therefore the past state. Sticking to this approach causes all kinds of confusion, complexity, and performance issues. Confusion, because we still somehow want to retrieve past state but are not sure how. Complexity, because we must repeatedly work around our own obsolete approaches. Performance issues, because confusion times complexity hurts. It is not surprising, however, that intelligence agencies notoriously try to collect, store, and analyze what the broad public willfully forgets. Significantly faster and cheaper random-access storage is the key driver for a paradigm shift towards remembering the sequence of modifications. We claim that (1) faster storage allows to efficiently and cleverly handle finer-granular modifi- cations and (2) that mandatory versioning elegantly exposes past state, radically simplifies the applications, and effectively lays a solid foundation for backing up, distributing and scaling of our data. -
The Decision Table Template for Geospatial Business Rules
The Decision Table Template For Geospatial Business Rules Alex Karman CTO and Co-Founder Revolutionary Machines, Inc. www.rev-mac.com San Jose, Oct 13-15, 2014 1 OpenRules Now Supports Spatial Rules • Leverages the popular JTS Topology Suite (“JTS”) • Supports the Egenhofer Relationships (“DE9-IM”) for 2D points, polygons and line strings – Contains, touches, crosses, overlaps, disjoint, etc. • Supports distance and area calculations; and ranking by distance or area • Supports aggregates (max/min) of spatial rules • Supports non-spatial mereological rules – Part of/comprises • Loads Geographic Markup Language (GML) from text files with a GeometryDatabaseBuilder utility Motivation • Last year, we used OpenRules to handle business rules related to security constraints and service level agreements in a data center management project. • This year, the customer asked us if OpenRules could manage fraud detection and privacy rules in a healthcare project in the same data center. • We looked at the problem domain and saw a large number of spatial rules. Spatial Business Rules Are Everywhere • Healthcare – Hospital Referral Region, Hospital Service Area, Hospital, Patient, Emergency Routes • Sales – Supplier and buyer territories, census block demographics • Utilities – Markets are usually defined geographically • Local government – Cadasters, zones, counties, municipalities Most Spatial Business Rules Only Require a Simple Vocabulary • Describe how simple points, polygons and lines interact • Describe distances between them • Describe “at least” or “no more than” rules (aggregate spatial rules) Most Spatial Business Rules Never Use Most GIS Features • Continuous field data – Weather, climate, netCDF, raster • Slope and aspect – Digital elevation model, bathymetry, viewshed • Topology – The shoreline borders the shore • Spatial statistics – Autocorrelation, Moran’s I, Geary’s C, etc.
