  • An Open-Source Web Platform to Share Multisource, Multisensor Geospatial Data and Measurements of Ground Deformation in Mountain Areas
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article An Open-Source Web Platform to Share Multisource, Multisensor Geospatial Data and Measurements of Ground Deformation in Mountain Areas Martina Cignetti 1,2, Diego Guenzi 1,* , Francesca Ardizzone 3 , Paolo Allasia 1 and Daniele Giordan 1 1 National Research Council of Italy, Research Institute of Geo-Hydrological Protection (CNR IRPI), Strada delle Cacce 73, 10135 Turin, Italy; [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (P.A.); [email protected] (D.G.) 2 Department of Earth Sciences, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy 3 National Research Council of Italy, Research Institute of Geo-Hydrological Protection (CNR IRPI), Via della Madonna Alta 126, 06128 Perugia, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 November 2019; Accepted: 16 December 2019; Published: 18 December 2019 Abstract: Nowadays, the increasing demand to collect, manage and share archives of data supporting geo-hydrological processes investigations requires the development of spatial data infrastructure able to store geospatial data and ground deformation measurements, also considering multisource and heterogeneous data. We exploited the GeoNetwork open-source software to simultaneously organize in-situ measurements and radar sensor observations, collected in the framework of the HAMMER project study areas, all located in high mountain regions distributed in the Alpines, Apennines, Pyrenees and Andes mountain chains, mainly focusing on active landslides. Taking advantage of this free and internationally recognized platform based on standard protocols, we present a valuable instrument to manage data and metadata, both in-situ surface measurements, typically acquired at local scale for short periods (e.g., during emergency), and satellite observations, usually exploited for regional scale analysis of surface displacement.

A Toolkit designed to assist governments develop their capacity for Integrated Spatial Planning is being developed as part of this project. This document comprises the first draft of Module X of this Integrated Spatial Planning Toolkit, on Spatial Data Infrastructure Standards. Integrated Spatial Planning Toolkit Module X: Spatial Data Infrastructure Standards Page 1 Technical Paper on Spatial Data Introduction Spatial Data Infrastructure standards Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) comprise of those policies, organisational remits, data, technologies, standards, delivery mechanisms, and financial and human resources necessary to ensure that users of spatial data are supported in meeting their objectives by improving capacity for geographic information exchanges, harmonization and integration. SDI Standards describe objects, features and items that are collected, automated or affected by the activities or the functions of organisations. The development, publication and acceptance of data standards are important goals of an integrated information management solution. Such standards are essential for all users and producers of data and information. They are particularly important in any co-management, co-maintenance or partnership arrangements where data and information need to be shared or aggregated.

  • Spatial Data Management for Disaster Risk Management
    Collecting, creating and analysing spatial data for Disaster Risk Assessments: the issues and pitfalls Maryna Strydom (GIS Tg SA) Tel: (011) 441 6163 [email protected] Overview Spatial data types, representation and formats X and Y axes, and offsets Projections Data management principles Metadata Data analyses Storage/Curation of data “… data is every scientist’s second priority. When scientists are evaluated … their efforts in curating, managing and quality assurance of data sets that future generations of researchers can use are not taken into account … .” Dr J-B Minster, Chair: ICSU World Data Center System. Collecting and analysing spatial data during Disaster Risk Assessments is generally seen as a relatively easy one where data is collected and thereafter most of the actual project work revolves around the analysis of the data and modeling the risks… However, the time and effort that it takes to get the spatial data into a usable format and eventually give it back to the end-users in a way that they would be able to utilize it effectively in future exercises/projects, is generally underestimated… Spatial Data types Notable commercial or proprietary GIS software CAD / GIS (vector/raster): Autodesk – MapGuide and AutoCAD .

  • What Is Openjump
    http://tsusiatsoftware.net/jts/javadoc/index.html What is OpenJUMP Download OpenJUMP facts sheet "JUMP is a computer program that uses a unified mapping platform as a visualisation framework..." (changed ESRI keynote on What is GIS? by M. Bobzien) But to be a bit more serious - OpenJUMP is an open source GIS software written in Java and it is based on JUMP GIS by Vivid Solutions. Furthermore... It is a Vector GIS that can read rasters as well . OpenJUMP is known to work on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms, but should work on any operating system that runs Java 1.5 or later. It is not just another free demo viewer, but you can edit, save, analyze etc. with JUMP / OpenJUMP . It works, even with medium size datasets, and with professional touch . It provides a GIS API with a flexible plugin structure, so that new features are relatively easy to develope around the sound mapping platform. It utilizes OGC standards like SFS, GML, WMS and WFS . It is already translated in English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Portugese and Spanish. The translation in other languages is in progress. ..and it is free (under the GPL license). OpenJUMP finally adds some key enhancements to the original JUMP software, including: . I18N (internationalization), . more drawing and geometry editing tools, . advanced attribute query, . enhanced set of selection tools, . image export in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format, . function to copy objects including attributes, . it can show layers dependent on the current map scale, . more classification methods for thematic coloring . ... OpenJUMP is the result of a larger umbrella project called the JUMP Pilot Project (JPP).

  • STANDARD SOFTWARE for GIS (Unit: II) Semester: II Paper Code: GIS 09 Name of Paper: Advanced Remote Sensing & GIS PG Diploma in RS & GIS Dr
    STANDARD SOFTWARE FOR GIS (Unit: II) Semester: II Paper Code: GIS 09 Name of Paper: Advanced Remote Sensing & GIS PG Diploma in RS & GIS Dr. SHYAMA PRASAD MUKHERJEE UNIVERSITY, RANCHI STANDARD SOFTWARE FOR GIS Software that is used to create, manage, analyze and visualize geographic data is usually incorporated under the umbrella term ‘GIS software’ (Steiniger & Weibel, 2009). Typical applications for GIS software include the evaluation of places for the location of new stores, the management of power and gas lines, the creation of maps, the analysis of past crimes for crime prevention, route calculations for transport tasks, the management of forests, parks and infrastructure, such as roads and water ways, as well as applications in risk analysis of natural hazards, and emergency planning and response. For this multitude of applications different types of GIS functions are required and different categories of GIS software exist, which provide a particular set of functions needed to fulfil certain data management tasks. Different functional categories of GIS software can be identified with respect to the tool sets that GIS software offers, and with respect to the tasks that can be accomplished. Such tasks involve basic activities that are common to daily computer usage such as (1) data visualization and exploration, (2) data creation, (3) data editing and (4) data storage. Other common GIS tasks include (5) data conflation, i.e., integration of data from different sources (Blasby, Davis, & Kim, 2002), (6) data queries to select a subset of the data, (7) data analysis, which we consider to be the creation of new information (output) from existing data (input), (8) data transformation, as some analysis tasks require the user to transform, or manipulate, the data beforehand (e.g.
