Four years later, in 1988, the National Center for Geographical Information and Analysis (NCGIA) established the foundation for GIScience as a distinct academic discipline. Now, after four decades, this talk explores the dynamic interplay between geographical information theory and geospatial software. Like other fields, scientific and technological advancements in geospatial studies are interdependent yet distinct. This discussion will reflect on past interaction points and consider how the relationship between research and practical applications in the geospatial field may evolve.\r\n\r\nOne of the most significant contributions of GIScience to FOSS4G was the development of point-set topological operators. This work culminated in the dimensionally extended 9-intersection model (DE-9IM), which became the foundation for the Open Geospatial Consortium's (OGC) simple features model. The resulting standardisation of vector GIS was crucial in preventing the spatial data market from being dominated by proprietary solutions. Open-source tools like PostGIS, Python geopandas, and R-sf emerged as viable, competitive alternatives. The OGC geopackage standard has also been widely adopted for information storage and transfer. Leading researchers engaged directly in developing user-driven tools for spatial analysis, such as GeoDa and R packages like spdep and gstat, further driving innovation in vector GIS.\r\n\r\nHowever, not all GIScience research has had the same practical impact. Topics such as geospatial ontologies, spatial database accuracy, cognitive foundations, and spatiotemporal reasoning have primarily remained within academic circles. While they have enriched theoretical knowledge, their practical applications have been limited. Even concepts that could have benefitted FOSS4G \u2014 such as geospatial algebras and abstract spatial data types \u2014 were overlooked by developers. This talk will explore potential reasons for this disconnect.\r\n\r\nConversely, FOSS4G has made significant contributions to GIScience. Tools like GDAL have enabled researchers to tackle critical scientific questions, while QGIS has become an indispensable tool for scientists. The R spatial packages offer a reliable foundation for new research, and a similar robust foundation is likely emerging in Python.\r\n\r\nThat said, the relationship between vector-based FOSS4G and GIScience appears to have reached a plateau, with little significant progress on either side in recent years. In contrast, raster-based GIS is undergoing rapid innovation. The availability of petabytes of open Earth observation (EO) data has spurred a new wave of discovery. Space-borne sensors continue to drive technological breakthroughs, but no comprehensive theory exists for modelling and analysing large-scale EO data. This has resulted in fragmented developments like Pangeo, Open Data Cube, OpenEO, and R-sits. The talk will advocate for stronger collaboration between FOSS4G developers and researchers in big EO data analytics, offering potential paths forward.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "3UF8EN", "name": "Gilberto Camara", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/gilberto_camara_CAibtuD.jpg", "biography": "Prof. Gilberto Camara is internationally recognised for promoting free geospatial data access and satellite monitoring of deforestation in Amazonia; he is affiliated with Brazil\u2019s National Institute for Space Research (INPE), where he was Director (2006-2012).

This is particularly critical in biodiversity hotspots like the Amazon Rainforest, which not only sequesters vast amounts of terrestrial carbon but is also under constant threat from illegal deforestation and degradation.\r\nIn 2023, Planet launched Forest Carbon Diligence, a product that delivers annual global maps of canopy height, cover, and aboveground carbon (AGC) at a spatial resolution of 30 meters, covering the years 2014 to 2023. This initiative has already supported various applications, including a study published by Monitoring by the Andean Amazon Project (MAAP), revealing that the Amazon Rainforest stores approximately 56.8 billion metric tons of aboveground carbon (AP News, 2024; Mongabay, 2024).\r\nBuilding on this foundation, in September 2024, Planet introduced Forest Carbon Monitoring, a groundbreaking product that offers a global map of canopy height, cover, and AGC with a remarkable spatial resolution of 3 meters, updated quarterly. This enhanced capability allows for more detailed analysis of forest dynamics, providing timely insights into forest conditions and changes.\r\nThis talk will address two primary objectives:\r\nTechnical Insights: I will cover the development and validation of Forest Carbon Monitoring, highlighting its intercomparison with other existing products. Beyond providing quarterly snapshots, this system enables near-real-time monitoring of landscape changes, comparable to alert systems like RAdar for Detecting Deforestation (RADD) and Global Forest Change datasets. I will demonstrate how this tool is instrumental in identifying deforestation activities and directing conservation efforts to the most vulnerable areas of the Brazilian Amazon.\r\nCommunity Engagement and Collaboration: In this segment, I will illustrate Planet's commitment to fostering community engagement and collaboration through several key initiatives:\r\n1.\tOpen-Source Contributions: Planet actively collaborates with the Free Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS) community by using and contributing to open repositories such as pystac, GDAL, xarray, and Dask. This open-source approach encourages innovation, enhances tool accessibility, and supports diverse applications for the geospatial community.\r\n2.\tPartnerships for Impact: Our collaboration with Santiago & Cintra Consultoria (SCCON) in Brazil exemplifies the power of partnership. In the past year, Planet data assisted Brazilian Federal police agents in executing over 3,000 interventions to combat illegal activities, resulting in a remarkable 50% reduction in deforestation rates. This partnership not only strengthens law enforcement efforts but also builds local capacity for sustainable forest management.\r\n3.\tInclusive Access Programs: Planet offers initiatives like the NICFI and Education and Research programs, which provide users with free access to Planet data. By democratizing access to critical information, we empower researchers, conservationists, and local communities to utilize our data for informed decision-making and collaborative conservation efforts.\r\nThrough this presentation, I hope to engage the audience in a dialogue about the crucial intersection of technology, conservation, and community involvement, underscoring the vital role of precise forest carbon monitoring in addressing global environmental challenges.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "ZJUDAD", "name": "Camile Sothe", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/headshot_CamileSothe_2Y0qXT4.jpg", "biography": "Camile Sothe is a Data Scientist at Planet Labs, specializing in leveraging multisource satellite data and machine learning techniques to map forest attributes.

Recent advances in uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones), image processing, and deep learning are enabling a new era of forest research in which individual trees can be mapped, measured, and taxonomically identified across broad areas without extensive ground surveys. The Open Forest Observatory (OFO; openforestobservatory.org) is a new multi-institution organization that makes cutting-edge forest mapping tools and data accessible to ecologists and practitioners without extensive specialized computing background. Open-source OFO tools simplify and automate tasks including: (a) processing drone imagery into 3D canopy models and stitched imagery mosaics, (b) performing individual tree detection, geospatial crown delineation, and height measurement from drone-derived canopy height models, and (c) obtaining taxonomic classification of detected trees from raw drone images (including multiple views of each tree) using deep learning and 3D geometric reasoning. The OFO also hosts an extensive public database of raw and processed drone imagery from western U.S. forests (> 35 km2) across broad gradients in forest structure, species composition, and disturbance history, and > 100 field-based individual tree maps used for developing and validating the drone-based mapping tools. The growing database is available to host community-contributed datasets from forests globally. In relatively challenging (dense and structurally complex mixed-conifer forest conditions, current OFO overstory tree detection algorithms achieve precision and recall of 70-90%, and current tree height estimation achieves R2 of 0.95. In a challenging cross-site task, preliminary tree species classification using OFO multi-view computer vision tools achieved 76% accuracy across five species, compared with 54% accuracy of a baseline using a single top-down view from a stitched imagery mosaic. All tools and data are free for use by anyone to address ecology questions or build on the tools, and the OFO welcomes collaborations and contributions to data and code. Some current development priorities include (a) expanding multi-view mapping tools to support tree detection using computer vision, (b) optimizing tree detection and species classification algorithms across broad gradients of forest structure and species composition, and (c) developing cloud-native workflows for automated cataloging and processing of contributed drone-based and field-based forest data.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "989VZB", "name": "Derek Young", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/aa3e8357a5789d34aa7c892fb91215d5_mxw6Psk.jpg", "biography": "Derek Young (he/him) is a research ecologist at the University of California, Davis.

PgHydro aims for an add-on implementation of a spatial database management system performed by a series of tables, queries, functions, or views that can be used individually to assist in water resources decision-making. These objects are the hydrography core of the intelligence system developed using free open-source software that can be used by anyone dealing with water resources management. To this end, this new conceptual model was implemented in the object-relational spatial database management system PostgreSQL/PostGIS, respecting the integrity constraints related to the geometry of the mapped objects. These user-defined constraints respect the logical objects based on the Pfafstetter basin coding system and integrity constraints linked to the spatial relationships between objects, which follow the ISO SQL/MM specifications. The main advantage of using the pghydro extension is the possibility to process large datasets and complex queries using a simpler hydrography model and the tools and languages already available in spatial database management systems that work as a framework for the future development of new extensions related to water resources.\r\nThe pghydro functionalities can be run using a GUI developed in a QGIS plugin called PgHydro Tools. After the physical implementation of the pgHydro Scheme in the spatial database management system, the construction of the Pfafsteter hydrography dataset is started using the hydrography objects that make up the pgHydro Tools. The construction of this base is divided into seven stages: 1) Creation of the spatial database and creation of the pghydro extension; 2) insertion of the drainage lines and the drainage areas in the spatial database; 3) verification of the consistency of the drainage network geometries and topologies; 4) verification of the consistency of the drainage areas geometries and topologies; 5) verification of the consistency of topology between the drainage network and the drainage areas; 6) Pfafstetter basin coding and other information, finally; 7) export of the final Pfafstetter hydrography dataset. Optional steps are the systematization of river names and the management of the multiuser edition.\r\nLast year, the pgh_raster was developed, which allows the insertion of the digital elevation model and products derived from it, such as drainage direction and flow accumulation. Functions allow retrieving the downstream or upstream pixel given a position as well as the elevation profile along a given specific geometry.\r\nAnother extension developed for pghydro was the pgh_hgm, a hydrogeomorphometric extension used to calculate information such as minimum and maximum elevation, slope, concentration time, time travel, and others related to drainage geometry and digital elevation.

However this is usually not the case, especially where the construction of these pipelines predates advances in mapping, geoinformation and database where they in prior existed as drawing and engineering plans. In order to migrate to a fully documented inventory, digitalisation and management of a water supply network database to estimate demand and supplies to plan expansion and population growth, there needs to be an inventory of existing scheme. Historically, mapping has been done with expensive mapping and survey equipment that can pose a challenge for small organisation\u2019s budget, making it difficult to have a complete mapping inventory of its network.\r\nThis article presents a geographical information system\u2013based free and opensource software architecture for the mapping and inventory of urban water supply network. This architecture is especially useful where budget is tight and decision relating to meeting the water and sanitation-related Sustainable Development goals needs to be made. The architecture consists of data management, data collection, data analysis and project host environment tools and software.\r\nPostGresSQL with PostGIS was used for design and management of water supply network GIS database, basing the creation and design of features and attributes on prior knowledge of what exists on water supply networks. Features created are transmission and distribution pipelines, hydrants, valves, chambers, junctions, leaks, encroachments, pumps, pump stations, reservoirs, bulk flowmeter, treatment stations with attributes across that include diameter, pipeline material, operational status, condition, encroachment, photo; sizes, capacity, models, manufacturer etc. The PostGIS database was connected to a QGIS project environment where custom forms to were designed to capture attributes created in PostGIS. The QGIS project was linked to an android based mobile app data collection software called Qfield, hosting custom forms designed in QGIS to capture the content of the water supply features, location and attributes. Using the form on Qfield, the water supply network is mapped and attributes captured and once data capture has been carried out using Qfield software, data from field capture is synchronised to QGIS project and following edits to the data captured, it is updated to the PostGresSQL PostGIS database. QGIS software acting as the project host environment also functions as the software for mapping, visualising and analysis of data hosted and managed\r\nThe architecture presented is an opportunity for any organisation seeking a free and open source GIS option in capturing and documenting and managing their water supply network data. As one of the weaknesses, is that data captured using Qfield has the inherent horizontal and vertical accuracy acquired from android devices which is less accuracy than that from a survey equipment. However, Qfield has the option of connecting to GNSS equipment by blue tooth, inheriting the sub cm horizontal and vertical accuracy it offers and thus improving locational and elevation information and still offering a higher accuracy free open source option.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "XSHFUD", "name": "Anthonia Onyeahialam", "avatar": null, "biography": "Senior Research Associate, University of Bristol, UK", "public_name": "Anthonia Onyeahialam", "guid": "11d5b5bd-7764-59b6-943d-530c29c36167", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/XSHFUD/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/CBXZNQ/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/CBXZNQ/", "attachments": []}, {"guid": "8fa85e70-d221-5d72-8bce-d62523e7f06e", "code": "HGRSUC", "id": 2720, "logo": null, "date": "2024-12-05T12:15:00-03:00", "start": "12:15", "duration": "00:30", "room": "Room I", "slug": "foss4g-2024-2720-advanced-integration-of-hydraulic-models-for-water-and-wastewater-networks-using-giswater-with-epanet-swmm-and-qwc2-web-client", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/HGRSUC/", "title": "Advanced Integration of Hydraulic Models for Water and Wastewater Networks using Giswater with Epanet-SWMM and QWC2 Web Client", "subtitle": "", "track": "Use cases & applications", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "Overview\r\n\u201cAig\u00fces de Manresa\u201d, a public water management company near Barcelona, Spain, serves 17 municipalities for a total of around 150.000 inhabitants (2022).

IASs are measures used to monitor and evaluate agricultural performance related to social, economic and environmental aspects, thus having great importance in guiding more sustainable political strategies and agricultural practices, whether by the public or private entity, serving \u201cto evaluate the performance of agriculture in terms of its environmental, social and economic performance, providing comparative data and information between federative entities or countries, among several other applications\u201d (EMBRAPA SOLOS, 2023). In this project, IASs are developed by different teams specialized in the proposed themes, whose works are previously approved and published in the scientific arena. To automate data collection, allocation, calculations and constant updates of the IASs, there is a team called the Digital Module, which develops solutions for each indicator, transforming them into digital algorithms. Structured, semi-structured and unstructured registration data are collected and stored in a data lakehouse, requiring a great deal of organization within the repository so that the data is always available and easily accessible. It was decided to implement the medallion architecture (medal architecture), which consists of allocating data in three layers with different purposes, while an open source platform was used for pipeline management and automation.\r\n\r\nThe conception of this project as a digital platform linked to the Brazilian Agricultural Observatory aims to publish indicators and parameters derived from well-founded technical and scientific data, capable of evaluating the effective performance of the national agricultural sector at the municipal or state level, contributing to sectoral policies and planning and management processes aimed at building sustainable agriculture and the correct positioning of the country on the international scene. Thus, the general objective is to develop an intelligent environment that automates and manages the IAS pipelines in a data storage organization environment based on the medallion architecture to be the basis of the data panel for publishing the indicators.\r\n\r\nA data pipeline is a succession of connected phases that enable the collection, storage, modification, analysis, and representation of data, with the purpose of acquiring meaningful insights and supporting informed choices (CALANCA, 2023). A data lakehouse, the destination of the project pipelines, is \u201clike a modern data platform built from a combination of a data lake and a data warehouse\u201d (ORACLE CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE, 2023), using \u201cthe flexible storage of unstructured data from a data lake and the management capabilities and tools of data warehouses, and then strategically deploying them together as a larger system\u201d (ORACLE CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE, 2023). The medallion architecture is the sequential structuring of data storage that aims to logically organize the data in the lakehouse, aiming to incrementally and progressively improve the structure and quality of the data as it flows through the three layers of the architecture (ARQUITETURA medallion, 2024). The terms bronze (raw data from the source), silver (transformation and validation of the data), and gold (refined and enriched data for use in projects) describe the quality of the data during the process (SKAYA et al, 2024) . Pipeline management is performed by Apache Airflow (version 2.44), an open-source platform for developing, scheduling, and monitoring batch-oriented workflows based on the Python programming language, which allows you to create workflows connected to virtually any technology (WHAT is Airflow\u2122?, 2023). The Airflow execution environment was structured in Docker, an open-source platform that allows you to create and manage containers as modular virtual machines that contain the essentials for their execution. The developed image is available on GitHub.\r\nTo be confirmed, the routines will be executed once a month. Raw data is collected by downloading and maintaining its original format, with a hash of each file being recorded to indicate that the data has been updated and download it again in the event of a change. This data is cleaned and processed as needed. At the end of the silver phase, a tabular structure will be created with geocode (integer, IBGE code of municipalities or states), date (timestamp, ISO 8601), source (text) and value (floating point, real number) and will be saved in the data lakehouse as .parquet, an open-source columnar storage format designed for highly compressed storage and efficient data retrieval, providing improved performance for handling complex mass data (OVERVIEW, 2022). The .parquet files saved in the data lake are available for use in the gold tier with one-to-many cardinality. In this last phase of the architecture, the necessary calculations are performed for each source of the indicators, with some sources that do not require calculations. The final phase is with the export of the gold data to tables in a project database in PostgreSQL, being ready for use by an API developed internally that allows the provision of data for the data panel to be developed (by another team) and published to society from the project website.\r\n\r\nThis model has been adjusted and corrected throughout the development of the project in the Digital Module. Flexible, it is now considered ready to receive any indicator developed by other teams, as well as the development of the data panel for publication for use by society.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "BZLYD8", "name": "Carlos Eduardo Mota", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/5de9b6b0c31556f8af1c354a7bad3f72_WKqnoht.jpg", "biography": "Geoscience Researcher, Geologist PhD, Head od Data Science Group of the Geoscientific Infrastructuture Directorship of Geological Survey of Brazil. 15 years of experience in Python and several FOSS4G tools (MapServer, Geoserver, PostGIS, GeoNode)", "public_name": "Carlos Eduardo Mota", "guid": "44c3ff73-bb93-5898-9569-e1cc3897de99", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/BZLYD8/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/MWYXS7/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/MWYXS7/", "attachments": [{"title": "Apresenta\u00e7\u00e3o - Presentation", "url": "/media/foss4g-2024/submissions/MWYXS7/resources/General_Lecture_-_ISAgro_mota_vefXovr.pdf", "type": "related"}]}, {"guid": "ec45d1fa-df98-5722-8923-94abe71c2263", "code": "3JT3QJ", "id": 2804, "logo": null, "date": "2024-12-05T16:30:00-03:00", "start": "16:30", "duration": "00:30", "room": "Room I", "slug": "foss4g-2024-2804-creating-web-ready-qgis-plugins-insights-from-giswater-for-effective-qwc2-compatibility", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/3JT3QJ/", "title": "Creating Web-Ready QGIS Plugins: Insights from Giswater for Effective QWC2\u00a0Compatibility", "subtitle": "", "track": "Use cases & applications", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "In the ever-evolving realm of geospatial technology, developing QGIS plugins that are both reliable and adaptable for web environments is essential.

We outline the experience of four agencies: The National Water Agency (ANA), the Center for the Surveillance of the Amazon (CENSIPAM), the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBIO), and the Federal Police (PF).\r\n\r\nThe project, which began in 2009 using proprietary software, transitioned to open-source in 2017. To address limitations and support multiple agencies, we ported Inteligeo version 4 functionality to GeoNode, creating Inteligeo 5 in 2022. Each agency has a unique perspective: PF was involved from the start, CENSIPAM deployed for internal use, ANA for external use, and ICMBIO is integrating it into their processes.\r\n\r\nWhy customize at all? Why not just use the software as it is? Why not develop it from scratch? There are several reasons why one should (and shouldn't) customize, and then there are several ways how to do it right once you commit to it. We share our experiences: the good and the bad, and the lessons learned, when customizing GeoNode for the Brazilian government.\r\n\r\nWhy customize?\r\n- Get shiny new functionality!\r\n- Jump-start development\r\n- Optimize processes with tailored deployments and workflows\r\n- Integrate with existing systems and infrastructure (authentication, 170TB raster storage, Brasil Mais imagery)\r\n- Comply with internal and government standards\r\n\r\nChallenges:\r\n- Non-standard deployment\r\n- Training and documentation\r\n- Balancing customization with community support\r\n- Syncing with upstream changes\r\n- Managing a huge codebase with extra stuff that you don't need\r\n\r\nHow to do it right (aspirational):\r\n- Seek sponsorships (SGD/MGI, JICA, FINEP, INTERPOL)\r\n- Selfless and selfish reasons to contribute back to the community\r\n- Have a clear strategy for upstream syncing\r\n- Keep it simple. Minimize customization to essential features\r\n- Design independent, standalone components\r\n- Engage upstream developers when possible\r\n\r\nOur experience is particularly relevant to the Amazon region, as the tool directly supports the Federal Police surveillance and conservation efforts in the area and is being integrated by the agencies of the other speakers.\r\n\r\nWe welcome feedback and collaboration ideas from the FOSS4G community during the Q&A session!", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "HKTHWA", "name": "Daniel Ara\u00fajo Miranda", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/foto_de_rosto_daniel_nXnekTw.jpg", "biography": "Daniel Ara\u00fajo Miranda, a Federal Criminal Expert in Computer Science since 2006, specializes in geospatial information management at Brazil's National Institute of Criminalistics.

For example, an OGC Web Mapping Service (WMS) may provide an Exception as a valid XML response or\r\nin a error message written \"in-image\", or an error may render a blank image. \r\nA generic uptime checker may assume the service is functioning as from those requests and an HTTP status \"200\" is returned.\r\n\r\nOther OGC services may have specific QoS issues not directly obvious. A successful and valid \"OWS GetCapabilities\" response may not \r\nguarantee that individual services are functioning correctly. For example an OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) based on a dynamic database may \r\nreturn zero Features on a GetFeature response caused by issues in an underlying database.

To this end, different strategies should be followed, including co-management, which encourages scientists, governments, fishers and civil society to jointly manage the ocean resources. Since 2014, several co-management strategies have been implemented in Catalonia, a region with about 580 km of coast in the NW Mediterranean Sea. With the aim to transfer scientific knowledge to better manage the ecosystem, we present here the end-to-end (E2E) system from ICATMAR, the Catalan Institute of Research for the Governance of the Seas. The E2E system includes data collection, processing, analysis, publication and web visualization of bottom trawling and purse seine fisheries sampling data along the Catalan coast. In 2023, all these fisheries represented 85% of the total catch and 77% of the total fisheries revenue of the region.\r\n\r\nDuring 5 years of data collection (2019-2023), the sampling program created a dataset of over 1,500 onboard samplings and 1 million sampled specimens of more than 470 different species.

Its main functionalities of visualization, analysis, and collection of spatial data were developed to encourage participatory urban planning, especially focusing students and teachers from basic education.\r\nThe Center for Metropolitan Studies (CEM), which is the research center that hosts MAPi\u00b4s project, has been responsible for producing and openly sharing databases (cartographic and non-cartographic) since its inception 20 years ago.  More recently, CEM expanded its activities in this technology transfer area to develop interactive web systems, like ReSolution and Schools portals, built from the interaction with the center's academic research work and agendas. So the idea is to bridge the gap between highly complex research and technology transfer to academic and non-academic society, respecting the principle of open data and software. All data produced and all softwares developed, including its source codes, are available at no cost.\r\nIn this context, however, there is a great challenge to make the knowledge produced by the CEM, especially the cartographic databases, continuously accessible to a portion of society that does not master geospatial analysis techniques. Although the ecosystem that provides tools for this type of analysis is increasingly more accessible, including through the web, they are still far from being widely adopted in non-specialized contexts, such as classrooms.\r\nTo tackle this challenge, MAPi arises to perform as a tool that can expand the use of spatial data in primary and secondary schools. So it has the twofold challenge of gathering simplicity in its navigation to ensure a friendly experience with complexity of technique specificities of exploring and visualizing spatial data,  especially for the non-specialized public.\r\nThus, MAPi has, since its first version, native integration with CEM's spatial data repository, GeoCEM, which is developed based on the GeoNode software, with its metadata stored on Geoserver..\r\nThrough Geonode, MAPi queries the layers that are published on GeoServer using the Web Feature Service (WFS). WFS specifies an interface for accessing and manipulating geographic elements using the HTTP protocol. The advantage and reason for choosing this standard is its ability to extract only the desired data at the element and attribute level. In this way, we can build a dynamic platform that creates thematic maps in real-time from the parameters chosen by the user, characterizing it as an interactive mapping platform.\r\nMAPi presents as its main tool for spatial data analysis the interface for creating choropleth thematic maps. This type of map is used in MAPi to represent data collected from geographic units such as census tracts and districts. For this functionality, the platform allows the choice between some color palettes (sequential, divergent, or qualitative), which are associated with the polygons of the geographic units according to the class division (quantile or natural breaks). The selection of multiple spatial data layers that are added as a Vector Tile layer in OpenLayers, makes it possible for the user to analyze and compare different themes or periods simultaneously. To serve non-specialized audiences, we maintain only the most essential tools of thematic mapping so that users can in a few steps build visualizations capable of extracting analyses, maintaining some level of parameterization to adapt to the type of phenomenon. Thus, through the OpenLayers and WFS resources, we make parameterizable for each layer its visibility, the attribute that will be associated with the fill color, the data classification method, the color palette, and the attributes that will be displayed in the dynamic map legend (based on attribute values).\r\nFinally, the third axis of functionality, collaborative mapping, aims to provide, in a simplified way, tools for the production of spatial data. We understand here that this functionality can be a tool that enables the expansion and updating of data coverage that official agencies are unable to perform. In this way, we intend to create an area within the platform that allows the creation of forms with location fields to create spatial data to be viewed and analyzed together with the other data on the platform. Currently, only the integration with Mapillary partially accomplishes this goal through the consumption of the visualization of the cover layer, and visualization of the photo sequences available in Mapillary by its users.\r\nOne potential application in education from collaborative mapping functionalities is the support in the discussion about neighborhood plans, that are  instruments foreseen under master plan development, like the example from the megacity of S\u00e3o Paulo. The tool is under test with basic education teachers that want to promote mapping activities with MAPi in urban geography classes, and also within mathematics classes where they can address methodological issues of the results of this mapping to support basic concepts related to statistics in the classroom. Our next challenges are the optimization of performance for large volumes of data and the implementation of more complex collaborative mapping functionalities in a Agile methodology, with constant interaction with teachers that envision MAPi\u00b4s potential to foster engagement of students in urban planning.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "AALJPT", "name": "Kaue Oliveira Almeida", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/perfil_2024_GXxP3JN.jpg", "biography": "Kaue Oliveira Almeida \u00e9 desenvolvedor de projetos web no Centro de Estudos da Metr\u00f3pole (CEM/USP), com \u00eanfase no desenvolvimento de  plataformas geoweb com o uso de bibliotecas, como OpenLayers e GeoNode.

Such information is essential to address key questions, such as: \u201cHow many children are affected by climate change?\u201d, \u201cWhere children have limited access to schools AND limited access to health services?\u201d to support evidence-based advocacy and decision-making for better results for children.\r\nUNICEF has adopted a hybrid geospatial architecture, benefiting from both commercial and open-source GIS solutions. Open-source approach allows us to have more flexibility and enables cost-effective scalability of corporate GIS systems, making them available to all UNICEF users.\r\nGeoSight is an open-source web geospatial data platform developed by UNICEF for easy data visualization and analysis. It is specifically designed to simplify the creation of online maps for visualizing multiple indicators at a subnational level to support evidence-based decision-making. Using GeoSight, UNICEF users and partners can easily overlay multiple indicators representing various thematic areas, such as natural hazards, climate-related risks, but also conflicts, health, education, poverty and other socio-economic indicators.\r\nGeoSight is developed using Django backend and React at a frontend. It has a robust backend interface where users can manage indicator data, basemaps, contextual layers, styles as well as create new projects (dashboards) for publishing data. A dashboard is the main GeoSight product for end-users to interact with the data. It is consists of an interactive map (developed using MapLibre) with multiple indicator layers representing various statistics, typically at national or subnational levels. Indicator layers can be queried and analyzed at different administrative levels (e.g. province or district) at a specific date and time. Additionally, users can cross-query multiple indicators using filters. The map may also contain contextual layers (which can be any point, line, polygon or raster layers) as well as custom basemaps. \r\nGeoSight has a robust API that allows for system-to-system integrations. This is a powerful feature, which is used for creating automated data pipelines that feed in data from multiple sources and make them available for all users.\r\nGeoSight is a self-service platform that equips UNICEF users at all country offices with an easy to use and powerful geospatial analytical system. The platform has been already used to support UNICEF response in many emergency contexts, including Ukraine and Gaza. It is also used as a dissemination tool for global and regional initiative such as Child Climate Risk Index-Disaster Risk Model (CCRI-DRM), WASH Insecurity Analysis (WIA) and many others.\r\n\u201cUNICEF has over 70-year history of innovating for children and believes that new approaches, partnerships, and technologies that support the realization of children\u2019s rights are critical to improving their lives. Early on, UNICEF established guiding principles for innovation and technology in development, which influences the Principles for Digital Development. One of these \u2013 Use Open Standards, Open Data, Open Source, and Open Innovation \u2013 explicitly advocates for the licensing of open source software to enable greater impact in international development and cooperation. This Principle has guided UNICEF\u2019s approach in creating, investing in, and supporting innovations\u201d (https://www.unicef.org/innovation/dpg-pathfinding-countries). Following this principle, UNICEF has made GeoSight source code publicly available under the terms of an AGPL-3.0 license.\r\nOpen source approach is also one of the key elements of the Frontier Data Network - UNICEF\u2019s strategic initiative designed to promote innovation and capacity building in data science, helping us make data-driven decisions that truly benefit children. Open source solutions are part of how we offer the underlying capabilities that are necessary to actually enable the production and provision of solutions.\r\nWe believe that GeoSight can benefit many organizations, both private, NGOs and public, not only in the humanitarian and development sectors.

DSGTools, a QGIS plugin released in 2015, is a result of this effort. Currently in version 4.14.0, DSGTools\u2019 features have been used to produce massive amounts of spatial data and have been consolidated as the Brazilian Army\u2019s official geospatial production suite.\r\n\r\nDSGTools offers features such as database creation according to the Brazilian cartographic legislation, layer loading with resolved domains and easy WMS service access from BDGEx, the Brazilian Army Geographic Service SDI. In addition, DSGTools offers a wide range of extraction tools such as the right angle digitalization tool, the free hand digitalization tool, the generic selection tool, the raster selection tool, the feature inspection tool, the DSGTools Processing Algorithm Provider and the Geospatial Data Quality Assurance Toolbox (QA Toolbox), which is one of the standout features of DSGTools.\r\n\r\nThe QA Toolbox runs processes called workflows, which consists of a series of interconnected sequential tasks based on QGIS models executed in a predefined sequence. For each step in this sequence, the QA Toolbox executes a geospatial data processing task, ranging from data cleaning and identification of data inconsistencies.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the primary objective of the QA Toolbox is to automate the identification and correction of geospatial data issues introduced during the data extraction process. The execution of a workflow is carried out sequentially, stopping only in specific cases, depending on the configuration chosen by the user. A workflow can have its execution halted when spatial inconsistencies called flags are produced after a model is executed. If a flag is raised during the execution of a workflow, the process halts immediately, prompting users to address the identified issue before proceeding. The QA Toolbox also prevents users from forcing the execution of followup tasks without fixing the flags raised in the current step. By forcing the users to correct the errors pointed out before continuing the process,  the propagation of unhandled inconsistencies is prevented.\r\n\r\nThe DSGTools Geospatial Data Quality Assurance Toolbox usage can reduce the required time and effort invested on geospatial data production. Users can also create complex workflows that operate independently. The use of a predefined sequence of models ensures that each step in the data processing is performed consistently, following standardized procedures like the Brazilian Standards of Geospatial Data Production set by the National Infrastructure of Spatial Data (INDE). This consistency is crucial for maintaining high-quality geospatial datasets, especially in large-scale projects. The flagging mechanism is a key component of the Brazilian Army Geographic Service\u2019s production line, ensuring that errors are promptly addressed and preventing the accumulation of issues that could compromise the overall quality of the dataset.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the execution status of the DSGTools Geospatial Data Quality Assurance Toolbox can be saved within the user\u2019s project, allowing the QA process to be carried out over multiple days. Since DSGTools workflows are built using QGIS models, they harness the full power of the QGIS processing toolbox and various plugins, including the 159 processes available in the DSGTools Processing Algorithm Provider.\r\n\r\nIn this talk, we will showcase all the DSGTools Geospatial Data Quality Assurance Toolbox features and highlight its usage in real-world use cases of geospatial data production.

In this proposal, we highlight the importance of using FOSS to reduce costs, automate processes, and simplify operations in QGIS, with a special focus on applications for large and environmentally sensitive areas such as the Amazon. Our presentation will detail the implementation of the GeoRond\u00f4nia project and the use of the GeoINCRA plugin in QGIS, emphasizing its benefits in land regularization and environmental sustainability.\r\n\r\nGeoRond\u00f4nia Project - Land Regularization and Environmental Sustainability:\r\n\r\nThe GeoRond\u00f4nia project is a partnership between the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Rond\u00f4nia (IFRO) and the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA), through the Decentralized Execution Term (TED) No. 20/2021/DF/SEDE/INCRA-IFRO. With a duration of 48 months, the project aims to title rural properties in 120 Settlement Projects (PAs), covering a perimeter of 31,000 km and benefiting more than 20,000 families in 26 municipalities. The actions include georeferencing, perimeter demarcation, parceling, occupational supervision, and the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR). With an investment of approximately 23 million reais, GeoRond\u00f4nia has already benefited about 15,000 families, standing out as a model of efficiency and economy.\r\n\r\nImportance of FOSS in Geospatial Projects:\r\n\r\nRond\u00f4nia has 222 Settlement Projects, with approximately 66,000 rural properties, and a large part is being served by the GeoRond\u00f4nia project. However, the biggest obstacle is data processing, which involves large volumes and complexity. Therefore, the project sought ways to optimize processes and speed up the achievement of goals within established deadlines, finding in QGIS+GeoINCRA the tools needed for this objective.\r\nAdopting free and open-source software (FOSS) is essential to reduce costs and increase the accessibility of geospatial technologies. Software like QGIS offers a robust and flexible platform for implementing georeferencing and land registration projects, eliminating the need for expensive licenses and allowing the customization of tools according to the specific needs of the projects. With the savings generated in the GeoRond\u00f4nia project using QGIS and the GeoINCRA plugin, it was possible to direct resources and optimize other processes in the project. Additionally, the solution created using these applications can be replicated to all Brazilian states.\r\n\r\nGeoINCRA Plugin: Simplifying Georeferencing in QGIS:\r\n\r\nThe GeoINCRA plugin was developed to optimize the georeferencing process of rural properties according to INCRA's technical standards. Implemented in Python, the plugin integrates with QGIS's processing framework, offering functionalities that automate data querying, attribute filling, and document generation required for land certification. The main tools of the plugin include:\r\nLoad Vertex Layer - Loads selected features from a point layer into the vertices layer of the GeoINCRA database; Download ODS Spreadsheet from SIGEF - Generates an empty ODS spreadsheet for later filling; Query INCRA Database - Connects to INCRA's database to query land assets and generate vector layers; CSV from INCRA to PointZ Layer - Transforms CSV vertex files from INCRA into PointZ layers; GeoINCRA to TopoGeo - Copies features from the GeoINCRA database layers to the TopoGeo database, facilitating the generation of descriptive memorials and topographic maps; Generate TXT for ODS Spreadsheet - Creates a text file with data needed to fill the SIGEF ODS spreadsheet; Fill Vertex Code - Automatically fills the vertex code attribute in the GeoINCRA database's vertex layer, easing the work of the georeferencing professional.\r\n\r\nMethodology and Results:\r\n\r\nThe adopted methodology includes the modeling of geospatial data in a Geopackage database, the implementation of a plugin in QGIS, and the integration of these elements to optimize the georeferencing workflow. The GeoINCRA database was designed to store topographic data in a standardized and integrated manner, while the GeoINCRA plugin automates processes that traditionally would be manual and prone to errors.\r\nThe results achieved with the use of QGIS+GeoINCRA are: Automation of ODS spreadsheets that were previously done manually; Reduction of the time to prepare the spreadsheets by 80%, as the spreadsheets are generated in bulk, i.e., hundreds of plots can be generated at once; Elimination of topological errors that were only seen when trying to insert the data into SIGEF (INCRA's georeferencing platform); Elimination of errors in textual attributes (spelling errors); Savings for the project, without the need to purchase licenses.\r\nThe results obtained demonstrate that the combined use of the GeoINCRA database and the GeoINCRA plugin results in greater productivity, better data standardization, and elimination of software license costs. This approach facilitates access for small companies and professionals to the georeferencing market, aligning with federal government policies on the use of FOSS and promoting independence and public resource savings.\r\n\r\nWho Benefits from the GeoINCRA+QGIS Solution:\r\n\r\nThe presentation at FOSS4G 2024 will highlight how the use of FOSS, exemplified by QGIS and the GeoINCRA plugin, can transform georeferencing projects for a diverse range of stakeholders. This includes government agencies, environmental organizations, and small surveying companies, particularly in vast and environmentally critical areas like the Amazon. By reducing costs, automating processes, and ensuring high-quality results, these solutions significantly contribute to land regularization, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic development in the region. This approach ensures that even resource-constrained entities can efficiently manage geospatial data and meet regulatory requirements.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "ZQFQQK", "name": "Leandro Fran\u00e7a", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/522f4e4b910e1619a42e75a9d6f2a73b_xvPsICz.jpg", "biography": "Professor of Geoprocessing at the Federal Institute of Para\u00edba (IFPB).

The concepts of Topology, the steps necessary for its implementation and the benefits for an organization are presented. Finally, the project is presented where, from a Plugin developed in Python in QGIS, the implemented resources and the results obtained are demonstrated. The full content of the Project can be viewed in these two articles:\r\n\r\n\u2022\thttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/topologia-de-rede-espacializada-rodrigo-paschoal-do-valle-wx7hf/?trackingId=gNxyrwDYR1ahkTMHJEN%2FzA%3D%3D\r\n\r\n\u2022\thttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/topologia-rede-de-saneamento-rodrigo-paschoal-do-valle-uxblf/?trackingId=1UOrKCOaQcmffR9BqAnqcQ%3D%3D\r\n\r\nInitially, the concepts and steps necessary for the elaboration of Topology will be presented in a simple and objective way. A Water Distribution Network (Sanitation) will be used as an example, as its elements are easy to see. Three main elements will be addressed:\r\n\r\n\u2022\tSegments: representing the distribution network.\r\n\u2022\tValves: representing the point at which the flow can be interrupted.\r\n\u2022\tReservoir: representing the starting point of the network (start of supply).\r\n\r\nFor each element, its characteristics (SYNTAX) and behaviors (SEMANTICS) will be presented. The analysis focuses on simplifying the model, meeting what is necessary for the development of the resources that will be explored in Topology.\r\n\r\nAfter the contextualization of the Topology, some challenges faced during its implementation will be presented. Emphasizing the eventual necessary adjustment in the registered elements, as examples:\r\n\r\n\u2022\tUnconnected segments: adequacy of the initial and final vertices to establish the connection.\r\n\u2022\tValves superimposed on segments: division of the segment and insertion of valve between them.\r\n\u2022\tUnconnected reservoirs: adequacy of the segment vertex to establish the connection.\r\n\r\nThe benefits obtained and the ability to increase the maturity of an organization are addressed, as static records are transformed into active elements, enabling maneuvers, validations and behavior analysis. Thus, we have the development of Network Intelligence. These and other benefits will be addressed in preparation for the presentation of the results developed in the Project.\r\n\r\nThe project had two stages: In the first, a Natural Gas Distribution Network was used on which the Network Isolation mechanism was implemented; in the second, a Water Distribution Network was used and new resources were implemented: Network Analysis, Network Status and Opening and Closing of Valves. The presentation will focus on the advantages obtained by the implemented resources, demonstrating the characteristics and applications of each one.\r\n\r\nFor the presentation of the implemented resources, images and videos will be used, as well as made in the published articles.\r\n\r\n<u>Step 1: Contextualization of the Gas Distribution case</u>\r\n\u2022\t<b>Network Isolation:</b> need to isolate the section in an Emergency situation (Leak)\r\nPresentation of the results and concepts involved: Selected Segment, Isolated Section, Affected Section and Valves to be closed.\r\n\r\nEmphasis also on future benefits related to isolation:\r\n\u2022\tIdentification of Customers Affected in the maneuvers performed.\r\n\u2022\tIdentification of Critical Regions in which a one-off isolation affects a vast region.\r\n\u2022\tAnalysis of existing resources in a Graph structure: (1) identification of critical paths, (2) analysis of points without supply redundancy, (3) automatic assignment of the status of segments from the manipulation of valves.\r\n\u2022\tAssistance in Supply Continuity Strategies, identifying Critical Customers (such as Hospitals) that are in vulnerable regions.\r\n\r\n<u>Step 2: Contextualization of the Sanitation case and implemented resources</u>\r\n\u2022\t<b>Network Analysis: </b>an analysis is made on the imported elements to identify inconsistencies, thus validating the model. The following situations were analyzed: (1) Valves connected to only one Segment, (2) Valves connected to more than two Segments, (3) Segments isolated from the Network, (4) Segments not connected to Reservoirs, and (5) Isolated Valves and Reservoirs. This analysis can be expanded, according to the elements and rules used by Topology, and can also help in estimating the effort required in adjusting records.\r\n\r\n\u2022\t<b>Network Status: </b>from the connections between Reservoirs, Segments and Registers (open and closed) the points of the Network that are Supplied and Not Supplied are presented. With this functionality, the status of a certain stretch is automatically defined, thus not requiring the intervention of an operator to update the Network. The feature has the same behavior for Gas Networks, respecting the elements of Topology.\r\n\r\n\u2022\t<b>Opening and Closing of Valves: </b>after analyzing the Network, it is possible to select the Valves and open/close them, automatically updating the network. This feature is especially important for situations where we need to analyze the impact on the Network of maneuvers performed. This feature can be used in conjunction with Network Isolation to study the behavior of the distribution fabric.\r\n\r\n<b>Next steps</b>\r\n\u2022\tInclude the list of Affected Customers in the resources already developed.\r\n\u2022\tExplore opportunities for new resources, some with room to be used by any Distribution Network, others that make sense only for certain contexts;\r\n\u2022\tUse of the model (BDGD) \u2013 Geographic Database of the Distributor, required by ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) for the delivery of data from the concessionaires, including an Electric Energy Distribution Network to the project;\r\n\u2022\tProspect any use case related to Telecommunications Networks.\r\n\r\n<b>Conclusion</b>\r\nIn this second example, the Water Distribution Concessionaire urgently needed to resupply Hospitals in a certain region of Porto Alegre. As alternatives were implemented, a number of houses and buildings also had their supply normalized. In this situation, only critical points should be supplied, directing the scarce resource only to emergency points. Network Topology enables this maneuver and the creation of strategies for network segmentation.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "7KEL83", "name": "Rodrigo Valle", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/foto_46ivVgY.jpg", "biography": "Graduado em Ci\u00eancia da Computa\u00e7\u00e3o pela PUCRS em 1998 e Mestre em Ci\u00eancia da Computa\u00e7\u00e3o pela UFRGS em 2002.

With these base data available for use under open licensing, organizations can then focus on building their business-specific services and applications. Overture Maps' datasets act like a shared freeway, enabling innovation across sectors like local search, logistics, disaster recovery, environmental analysis, augmented reality, and automotive.\r\n\r\nThis initiative emphasizes interoperability, ensuring that data can be seamlessly integrated and utilized across different platforms and applications. Both interoperability and conflation are vital in collaborative environments where multiple organizations contribute data to ensure that data can be shared and accessed effectively as a unified resource. By leveraging open data and technologies, Overture Maps enables developers, researchers, and policymakers to build advanced geospatial solutions without the constraints of proprietary data silos. \r\n\r\nJoin this discussion to learn about:\r\n\r\n- Overture and its genesis. Mapping the entire world \u2014 with every community, street, building, home and attractions (even as they change) \u2014 is challenging for any single organization to tackle, and the cost to build and sustain that data continues to grow as the demand for better data increases. \r\n\r\n- Overture\u2019s project scope. Overture is collaboratively building six global, open foundational data layers that can link to a near-infinite catalog of spatial data through a stable ID system. \r\n\r\n- Overture\u2019s Global Entity Reference System (GERS). Data conflation and enabling data interoperability are the biggest obstacles in realizing the full value of the abundant open map data resources available today. Conflation in particular is a challenge given spatial and attribute ambiguities and discrepancies across datasets. With GERS, datasets built by different organizations can reference the same real-world map features in a simple, unambiguous way. \r\n\r\nThis session will delve into the foundation's core principles, including the use of open-source tools, community-driven data contributions, and the implementation of best practices for data quality and governance. Attendees will gain insights into the technical architecture of Overture Maps, including its approach to data interoperability, and learn how to contribute to and benefit from this growing ecosystem. Come join us and learn about creating and using a single, coordinated, base map for the world!", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "9H9JMS", "name": "Jennings Anderson", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/Jennings_Anderson_Headshot_1mtivuJ.jpg", "biography": "Software Engineer at Meta with Overture.", "public_name": "Jennings Anderson", "guid": "369c7862-0b53-5841-8306-c216cc290f8f", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/9H9JMS/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/RGWHXS/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/RGWHXS/", "attachments": [{"title": "Slides", "url": "/media/foss4g-2024/submissions/RGWHXS/resources/FOSS4G_2024_OvertureMapsFoundation_5HYzBjJ.pdf", "type": "related"}]}], "Room V": [{"guid": "14d11c62-9a65-54ab-a370-7bd5c551b38e", "code": "B9DCFP", "id": 2753, "logo": null, "date": "2024-12-05T10:00:00-03:00", "start": "10:00", "duration": "00:30", "room": "Room V", "slug": "foss4g-2024-2753-all-maplibre-projects-present-and-future-in-one-status-update", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/B9DCFP/", "title": "All MapLibre projects, present and future, in one status update", "subtitle": "", "track": "State of software", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "Present everything MapLibre community has been working on, including tile serving, fonts and sprite handling, to visualizations for both web and native, to new types of tools and format standards.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "VXXFNW", "name": "Yuri Astrakhan", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/Yuri_Astrakhan_pic_EhgISQs.jpg", "biography": "* Co-founder of MapLibre + maintain Martin Tile Server\r\n* FOSS/Rust/OSM/big DB/datavis enthusiast\r\n* Author of Wikipedia API, Maps, and graphs\r\n* Former principal Engineer at Elastic, now senior staff eng at Rivian Automotive", "public_name": "Yuri Astrakhan", "guid": "18f9c306-9ff3-5dfd-9c00-15530351092b", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/VXXFNW/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/B9DCFP/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/B9DCFP/", "attachments": []}, {"guid": "1539742e-2b27-5fee-9379-c9e2bedd34d4", "code": "8S3CMH", "id": 2700, "logo": null, "date": "2024-12-05T10:45:00-03:00", "start": "10:45", "duration": "00:30", "room": "Room V", "slug": "foss4g-2024-2700-use-of-open-source-software-in-the-esa-planetary-science-archive", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/8S3CMH/", "title": "Use of Open Source Software in the ESA Planetary Science Archive", "subtitle": "", "track": "Use cases & applications", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "The European Space Agency (ESA) has adopted a variety of open-source software tools to manage, visualize, and distribute planetary data, with a particular emphasis on Mars. These tools are essential for both internal operations and for providing crucial data access to the global scientific community. Below, we detail the use of these technologies, collaboration on open-source projects, and the underlying GIS architecture developed by the Planetary Science Archive (PSA).

This tool is crucial for planetary data where coordinates can be extended beyond the traditional range of 0\u00b0 to 180\u00b0 longitude, allowing for continuous and accurate representation of planetary maps..\r\n\r\n## New Interface and GIS Architecture\r\n\r\nESA has developed a new interface for the Planetary Science Archive, integrating the aforementioned tools into a cohesive and user-friendly platform. This interface allows scientists to:\r\n- **Explore Interactive Data**: Navigate through interactive maps of Mars, Phobos and other planets, applying filters and visualizing different layers of geospatial data. Users can overlay geological, topographical, and spectral data layers to gain a more comprehensive view of the terrain and use the different functionalities, such as changing the projection (polar, equirectangular), extracting information by region of interest.\r\n- **3D Visualization**: Thanks to Three.js, users can explore the the 67P(Churyumov-Gerasimenko) comet in 3D for the Rosetta mission, rotate, and zoom into features for more detailed analysis. Ultimately, we use Three.js to represent irregular bodies such as comets, asteroids, and asteroids.\r\n- **Real-Time Data Access**: Researchers can access the latest information and perform real-time queries to obtain specific data according to their needs.\r\n- **Data Download**: Scientists can download datasets directly from the interface for use in their own analyses and studies, selecting and downloading specific subsets of data based on defined search criteria.\r\n\r\n## GIS Architecture\r\n\r\nThe GIS architecture behind this new interface relies on a robust combination of open-source technologies:\r\n- **GeoServer Base Maps**: Acts as the distributor of base maps of Mars, Phobos, Cassis. They are cached using GWC to optimize access in all available projections.\r\n- **Frontend with OpenLayers and Three.js**: Provides 2D and 3D visualization capabilities, offering a rich and interactive user experience. OpenLayers is used for 2D interactive map visualization, while Three.js is employed to generate three-dimensional visualizations of planetary surfaces.\r\n- **Database with PostgreSQL and PostGIS**: Used to store and manage complex geospatial data. PostgreSQL and PostGIS enable advanced spatial queries, facilitating the analysis of large volumes of geospatial data and its integration with other GIS tools.\r\n- **Integration with Data Access Tools**: Projects like Astroquery and Antimeridian are integrated to facilitate the access and manipulation of specific data, solving complex issues like the management of data crossing the antimeridian. This integration allows scientists to access and analyze planetary data more efficiently and accurately.\r\n\r\n## Benefits for the Scientific Community\r\n\r\nThe use of advanced technologies and a robust GIS architecture developed by ESA offers several significant benefits for planetary research:\r\n- **Open and Transparent Access**: Although the code is not public, ESA uses open-source tools that ensure data and resources are available to the entire scientific community. This promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing, allowing researchers to access information without restrictions and work together more efficiently. Another benefit for the scientific community is to be able to cross different instruments/missions in a single interface, e.g., give me all the CaSSIS and HRSC data of this particular crater. For more information about ESA projects, you can visit their [GitHub repository](https://github.com/esa).\r\n- **Solutions to Specific Problems**: Tools like Antimeridian [Antimeridian GitHub](https://github.com/gadomski/antimeridian) address unique technical challenges, ensuring precise and continuous representation of planetary data. This facilitates the analysis and interpretation of geospatial data, ensuring that visualizations and maps are accurate and reliable.\r\n\r\n## Conclusion\r\n\r\nThe adoption of open-source software and the development of an advanced GIS architecture enable ESA to offer a powerful and accessible platform for planetary research. This benefits not only its own scientists but also the global scientific community, promoting knowledge sharing and collaboration in the exploration of the Solar System. Tools such as OpenLayers, GeoServer, Three.js, PostgreSQL, and PostGIS, along with collaborative projects like Astroquery and Antimeridian, are fundamental for the efficient management and precise visualization of planetary data.\r\n\r\nWith all this, the summary of the talk is to show how free software is used in the PSA for planetary data and more specifically in Mars data.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "EMSNNM", "name": "Fran Raga", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/8123225_jxJQAj6.png", "biography": "Open Source GIS Developer", "public_name": "Fran Raga", "guid": "59c723b6-1fe6-578d-8978-4b0f36d710ef", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/EMSNNM/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/8S3CMH/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/8S3CMH/", "attachments": [{"title": "Presentation", "url": "/media/foss4g-2024/submissions/8S3CMH/resources/FOSS4G_2024_Fran_Raga_vVz6OsE.pdf", "type": "related"}]}, {"guid": "eb7128da-6bc3-5639-b1cd-6ec5e23b670e", "code": "BYTMKX", "id": 2591, "logo": null, "date": "2024-12-05T11:15:00-03:00", "start": "11:15", "duration": "00:30", "room": "Room V", "slug": "foss4g-2024-2591-unleashing-the-power-of-openstreetmap-data-in-qgis-with-essential-plugins", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/BYTMKX/", "title": "Unleashing the Power of OpenStreetMap Data in QGIS with Essential Plugins", "subtitle": "", "track": "Open Data", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "There are multiple ways to download OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, this talk delves into the realm of OSM plugins for QGIS, empowering participants to leverage this valuable free and open source geospatial data in their projects.

(Palmisano, 2018; Pintos and Narodowski, 2012)\r\n\r\nThese changes have been associated with flooding in several regions (Pal et al., 2021; Pattison and Lane, 2012). In particular, the Lujan River basin has historically experienced extreme events.\r\n\r\nIn the global scale, prevails the expansion of capitalism by a process of accumulation by dispossession,  characterized by land privatization, expulsion of farmers, conversion or suppression of rights to the commons (Harvey, 2004).\r\n\r\nThe analysis of these changes in landuse requires information typically obtained from remote sensing, that is validated and complemented with sampling programs. The development of an updated landuse map is a basic tool to study territorial phenomena such as flooding events or land use change. Such a methodology would allow the information to be compared with previously collected data at different scales and time periods.\r\n\r\nBut geographic information, its format, or processing tools do not generally allow for its reuse or improvement, and are not necessarily openly/freely available. This type of data can be considered a digital commons and can be the subject of mercantilization processes. In fact, publicly produced information and processing tools should be publicly available to enforce knowledge construction. (Arsanjani, 2015; Duf\u00e9al and Noucher 2017).\r\n\r\nOpenStreetMap is the main framework for volunteered geographic information, and because it constitutes a standardized database, it also allows to be a preferred repository for contributions originating from research programs of universities and public organizations.. Recently has been registered as a public good by an agency affiliated to the United Nations (https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2024/02/05/osm-named-as-a-digital-public-good-by-un-affiliated-agency/)\r\n\r\nData contributed to OSM has already been used to create and validate land use and land cover maps in various regions (Arsanjani et al., 2013; Shultz et al., 2017).\r\n\r\nIn Argentina,  the local community of OSM users has added a significant amount of geographic information that could be used for land use analysis, which could be further expanded, especially in non-urban areas.\r\nSince 2016, land use data in the middle basin of the Lujan river have been added to OSM as part of projects conducted by the National University of Lujan. Land use was visually assessed using satellite imagery and representative polygons were added with appropriate tags. Geometries were added preferably as multipolygons. Boundaries were drawn to avoid sharing nodes with the road and rail network.\r\n\r\nThe aim of this work is to present the development of an R package for the analysis of landuse data contributed to OSM. Subsequently, the goal is to increase the contribution of publicly generated information and its analysis tools in an open access format, such as those provided by OSM and R (R Core Team, 2023).\r\n\r\nThe package can be installed from its github repository https://github.com/aduhour/osmlanduseR.\r\n\r\nThe package is in an early stage of development and the features included are aimed at 1) download a set of land use related data from OSM using the overpass API. 2) Remove overlaps and measure polygon area. 3) Classify polygons by mapping OSM tags to user-defined classes that can be assimilated to Corine Land Cover classes or the FAO Land Cover Classification System (Schultz et al., 2017; Volante 2009) 4) Create a land use classification map.\r\n\r\n\r\nReferences\r\n\r\nArsanjani, A.

It serves as a hub where company employees and collaborators can access, share, and utilize these tools. This initiative has the additional benefit of enhancing productivity while also cultivating a culture of collaboration and innovation within the organization. In any organization that places a significant reliance on GIS, the efficiency and accuracy of geospatial data processing are of paramount importance. Geographic information system (GIS) teams encounter a number of challenges, including the necessity to perform repetitive tasks, to complete time-consuming data processing steps, and to develop custom tools that are not readily available in standard GIS software. These issues underscored the necessity for a solution that could automate repetitive tasks, provide custom tools tailored to specific needs, and facilitate easy sharing and collaboration among team members. As an open-source GIS platform, QGIS offers a robust plugin architecture that allows users to extend its functionality. \r\nTo develop QGIS plugins, a development environment was established, comprising Python (the primary language for QGIS plugin development), QGIS itself, and the requisite libraries, including PyQt for GUI development, pandas, and requests. A version control system based on the Git distributed revision control system was implemented to facilitate the effective management of the codebase. With the development environment prepared, the coding of the plugins commenced. Each plugin was designed to address a specific task or workflow and they are organized by projects. For example, the data standardization plugin was developed to meet the requirements of Resolu\u00e7\u00e3o ANM n\u00b0 142/2023, the automatic caves CAD file download was created through the use of a database PostGRESQL/PostGIS and an AWS connection, and a Drainage tool was developed to delineate and estimate flow given a pour point of interest and elevation data. The initial step in developing the plugin repository involved understanding the specific needs of the team. A series of meetings and surveys were conducted to gather requirements and identify the most pressing issues. Several team members were involved in the testing process, gathering feedback and making necessary improvements. This iterative process helped refine the plugins and make them robust.\r\nThe plugin repository was organized in a manner that was both clear and intuitive. Each plugin was organized in a directory, which contained the source code, documentation, and example datasets. This structure facilitated user navigation of the repository, enabling them to readily identify the tools they required. The Bitbucket platform was selected for hosting the repository due to its widespread use and intuitive interface, which provides a collaborative environment where team members can access the plugins, report issues, suggest enhancements, and contribute to the development process.\r\nTo integrate the repository with QGIS, a custom plugin server was incorporated into the QGIS software. The server enabled users to peruse the available plugins, install them with a single click, and receive updates automatically, thus ensuring that users could readily access and utilize the tools without leaving the QGIS environment. To optimize the adoption and efficacy of the plugins, training sessions and workshops were conducted for colleagues. These sessions encompassed the installation and utilization of the plugins, best practices for geospatial data processing, and strategies for integrating the tools into daily workflows.\r\nThe QGIS plugin repository has had a profound impact on the organization, delivering key benefits such as increased efficiency, enhanced accuracy, enhanced collaboration and knowledge sharing, and enhanced scalability. The automation of repetitive tasks has resulted in a notable reduction in the time and effort required for data processing, thereby enabling team members to direct their attention to tasks of greater critical importance. The implementation of bespoke analytical tools has enhanced the precision and dependability of geospatial analyses. The repository has fostered a collaborative environment in which team members can share their tools and expertise, thereby facilitating continuous improvement and innovation. The modular structure of the repository allows for the straightforward incorporation of new plugins, thereby ensuring that emerging needs and challenges can be addressed.\r\nConsidering the repository's success, several prospective developments have been proposed. These include the expansion of the plugin library through the development of new plugins to address additional tasks and workflows, the incorporation of advanced geospatial analytics such as machine learning and spatial statistics to further enhance capabilities, the linking of the QGIS plugins with other enterprise systems such as databases and web services to create a more integrated and efficient geospatial data infrastructure, and the encouragement of participation from the broader FOSS4G community through the sharing of plugins and contributions to the global repository of geospatial tools and solutions.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "SS73DU", "name": "Alexandre Assuncao", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/foto_teams_dq8rvrD.jpg", "biography": "Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), with part of my undergraduate studies done in the United States at Wayne State University.

Geospatial data provides valuable context and information, enhancing applications in various domains such as logistics, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and marketing.\r\nTraditionally, many organizations have relied on no-code geospatial software with click-based interfaces. Due to their accessibility and user-friendly interface, these tools allow team members to visualize and manipulate geospatial data without the need for programming knowledge. However, as data starts to become more complex, these tools often present scalability limitations, restricting the full potential of geospatial data applications.\r\nThis paper explores the benefits of transitioning to a hybrid approach by integrating Python and open-source geospatial libraries into the data processing phase of geospatial analysis. By presenting the possible advantages gained and providing a hands-on example of Python use in geospatial data, the aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Python can play a pivotal role in overcoming the limitations of no-code solutions.\r\nPython can enhance the data extraction phase, enabling integration with various data sources and APIs and connecting to external databases and web services. This capability supports consistent data exchange and real-time data integration. This phase can also be automated, summarizing all steps into a script that can be applied to every new dataset.\r\nThe processed data can be visualized using various libraries in a Python environment or used as input for traditional geospatial software. The hybrid approach leverages the user-friendly visualization tools of no-code software while enabling more sophisticated data processing capabilities.\r\nThe output data can also be used as input for developing custom algorithms, including the integration of machine learning models and artificial intelligence. This step enables a wide range of applications, such as urban feature prediction, classification or segmentation of remote sensing data, and clustering of spatial data.\r\nAdopting a hybrid approach significantly enhances an organization's analytical capabilities. These advanced analyses provide deeper insights into spatial patterns and trends that manual methods alone may not reveal.\r\nThe hands-on example, based on census data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), demonstrates geospatial data processing with Python and the GeoPandas library, both open-source solutions. This example will include the use of Python in geospatial data processing through the following steps: data extraction, data processing, and customized algorithm application.\r\nIn conclusion, integrating Python into these workflows enhances flexibility and analytical capabilities, allowing organizations to innovate in their solutions and create new opportunities for products and services. Coding elevates data-driven decision-making and enables more sophisticated and scalable analyses, particularly when dealing with large and complex datasets. This case study serves as an inspiring example for organizations and researchers aiming to maximize the potential of their geospatial data, highlighting the significant benefits of combining traditional geospatial software with powerful open-source tools.\r\n\r\nThis work received financial support from the State of S\u00e3o Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) (grant 2023/15663-7, 2024/05553-2, 2024/05727-0, 2024/05481-1).", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "DMGQBR", "name": "Ana Beatriz de Figueiredo Oliveira", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/20190524_092225_ak8rIFP.jpg", "biography": "Data scientist with over five years of experience in geospatial analysis, finance, marketing, and software development industry.

In his adolescence, his passion was nature, with a strong connection to the beaches and mountains of his city. Due to this passion, he decided to pursue Forestry Engineering, and during his undergraduate studies at the Federal University of Vi\u00e7osa in the state of Minas Gerais, he developed computer programs in his research projects. These projects later resulted in a master's thesis, one of the first theses in the field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), titled \"Use of a Geographic Information System in the Optimization of Forest Transportation\" (1995).\r\nAfter leaving academia, he worked with GIS in a research center (Embrapa, 1996), public companies (IEF-MG, 2001), environmental consulting firms, and finally, in 2003, he fulfilled his lifelong dream by joining the career of Environmental Analyst at Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama). In Ibama, his workplace was in the Amazon, where he could see how the occupation of the Amazon region was carried out. Later, he was transferred to the Ibama headquarters in Bras\u00edlia (the capital of Brazil), where he dedicated himself to the development of Geoprocessing in the institution. His work had a global reach, as his GIS software plugins and scripts were shared on the Internet. \r\n\r\nHis expertise in GIS development, especially in QGIS, where he was a contributor (with more than 10 plugins), provided experiences beyond Ibama, such as participating in the Planet Explorer program (2015) and the MapBiomas project (2019). In these projects, QGIS plugins were developed to access the data. His desire to help people in the Geoprocessing field has always marked his professional trajectory, serving as an instructor for various courses and providing assistance to other GIS users. Currently, Luiz Motta is with Prevfogo (National Center for Prevention and Combat of Forest Fires), being part of the Sisfogo (Fire Management System) development team.

Vector tiles combine all the benefits of map tiling with the ability to access attributes, enabling client side attribute-based rendering. This makes them one of the most efficient ways of visualising vector data, and they are present in many interactive web maps that we see on the web today.\r\n\r\nHowever the proliferation of web map applications has often resulted in a lack of interoperability between tile servers and clients. This was the motivation for the OGC API - Tiles Standard (https://tiles.developer.ogc.org/), published in late 2022. The core of this Standard is very simple, adding some formality to what people have been doing for years with XYZ tilesets, while specifying some metadata elements that help clients do a better job at creating maps (e.g.: title, description, zoom levels, custom projection). \r\n\r\nIn this talk we will present a software stack to render OGC compliant vector tiles. This stack includes pygeoapi (https://pygeoapi.io/), an OSGeo project and a Reference Implementation for OGC API - Tiles (https://www.ogc.org/resources/product-details/?pid=1663). The architecture of pygeoapi supports backend plugins, which use different software for storing and accessing geospatial data. For the purpose of creating vector tiles, we will present the MVT-elastic plugin (https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/blob/master/pygeoapi/provider/mvt_elastic.py), which leverages the Elasticsearch capability of rendering vector tiles on the fly, from geospatial data stored in an Elasticsearch index. Elasticsearch (https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch) is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine. Recently, this plugin also became capable of exposing the attributes associated with the data, enabling client side styling of attributes. These capabilities can be demonstrated by creating a Leaflet map that consumes and styles the pygeoapi+elastic vector tiles (https://emotional-cities.github.io/vtiles-example/demo-oat.htm). \r\n\r\nWe hope that this presentation can make the creation of fast, expressive and interoperable maps, accessible to anyone.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "FNYKAD", "name": "Joana Simoes", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/frontal_serious_crop_pcSntU2.jpg", "biography": "Joana is a software engineer with more than fifteen years experience and a strong expertise in the field of geospatial tech and analytics.\r\nAfter acquiring a PhD in GIS, at UCL, her drive to solve real-world problems has led her to SMEs, an international organisation, a research foundation and a start-up.

To deal with this complexity and ensure truly effective policies, data-driven decision-making is essential. Cities produce a large volume of data that is crucial for informing these policies. However, many cities face significant challenges in collecting and analyzing quality data due to a lack of technical and human resources. Furthermore, while tabular data is important, it often fails to capture the complex contextual layers present in the urban territory. Geospatial information provides a deeper and more contextualized understanding of the urban context, enriching the decision-making process and promoting more effective public policies.\r\nWithin the complexity of city management, safe and sustainable mobility increasingly stands out as an area demanding special attention, primarily due to the challenge of addressing the issue of premature road traffic deaths and injuries. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that more than 1.19 million people die in traffic worldwide every year \u2014 in Brazil, there are over 30,000 annual victims.\r\nThe Safe System and Vision Zero Approach, which advocate that no death or serious injury in traffic is acceptable, illustrate the complexity of urban mobility. The concept involves several areas of action that must be worked on in an integrated manner, including safe road infrastructure and urban design. Therefore, understanding all layers of the territory is essential for identifying risk areas, planning effective interventions, and monitoring results, ensuring that mobility contributes to building a safer urban environment.\r\nThe complexity of cities and the need to deeply understand the various aspects that comprise them make territorial analysis an indispensable component in the data and evidence-based decision-making process. By collecting and using data to identify critical areas, for example, it is possible to effectively propose road safety actions and public policies aligned with the Safe Systems approach. For this reason, the Cordial Institute sought to create a methodology for interpreting the territory to facilitate road safety analyses and offer valuable data-based information. This way, it is possible to directly assist municipalities in developing public policies that promote safer mobility in Brazilian cities.\r\nThis methodology, named \u2018Structurals\u2019, assumes that the road system is not uniform but divided between intersections and mid-blocks (structurals), each having different interactions in the urban environment. Road intersections, for example, are areas of many encounters between different road users, which can sometimes lead to conflicting situations. These conflicts can result in traffic incidents and, therefore, this dynamic deserves significant attention. On the other hand, mid-blocks have different behaviors, such as increased vehicle acceleration or pedestrians crossing outside designated areas, so it is also important in analyses in a complementary way to intersections\u2019.\r\nThe processing of structurals requires a few spatial databases that are commonly developed by municipalities: road blocks, central median/divider (if the road block base does not contain this information), and road axis. With this, it is possible to generate a tool with significant analytical impact using easily processed data from municipalities.\r\nTo georeference this dynamic, it is necessary to trace the road axis to identify where they meet (intersections) and where they are continuous (mid-blocks). Using PostGIS, the geospatial data extension of PostgreSQL, both free and open-source, a geospatial processing is performed where perpendicular lines to the roadblock polygons are drawn, meeting at an equivalent geometric distance point. Lines are drawn every meter along the roadblock face, resulting in several points located at the road's central axis. These points are connected by lines forming the road axes. When they intersect, they are identified as a road intersection.\r\nFrom the geoprocessing, intersection areas are drawn in an open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) program, QGis. These areas are \u2018buffers\u2019 created from the points generated by the geometric operations, and have their design adapted if they intersect, not being limited only to the geometric point created by the axis crossing \u2014 it is not a simple buffer around each crossing but is dissolved to adapt to the road's morphology. This process identifies a primary characteristic of the road system intersections that can be included in territorial analyses: the intersection profile, or how many approaches each intersection has, making it more or less complex proportional to the number of approaches.\r\nOnce the areas considered intersections are established, the street axes not present in this area are extracted and become mid-blocks. In other words, mid-blocks are defined after the intersections' geometric definition, as their geometric opposite.\r\nFrom the structurals' design, it is possible to pair with all available geographic territorial information. The more data provided by municipalities, the greater the territory's knowledge and the possibility of relating these variables. Each structural has characteristics that make more sense to be deepened. In intersections, traffic lights, bus or cycling infrastructure, road hierarchies, and pedestrian crossings can be paired. In mid-blocks, the road width, road hierarchy, speed limit, electronic surveillance presence, speed reducers, block face length, etc., can be paired.\r\nPairing information with structurals helps identify profiles of these spaces and create insights into road crashes in Brazilian municipalities. With this pairing, it is possible to analyze the distribution of road events between intersections or mid-blocks and their characteristics, the severity of occurrences, and identify critical points that should be prioritized in public policies. Additionally, it is an essential tool for effectiveness analyses and creating comparison groups for monitoring interventions. For example, with intersection structurals, it was possible to identify crossings with similar characteristics in S\u00e3o Paulo to evaluate whether those that received the \"Frente Segura\" intervention had a reduction in traffic incidents. The same was done with the \"Melhor Uso do Leito Vi\u00e1rio (MULV)\" interventions carried out in mid-blocks of the city. These and other uses of the structurals can be seen on the publication page of the Brazilian Mobility Panel, from the Cordial Institute.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "SQLNU9", "name": "Luis Fernando Villa\u00e7a Meyer", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/Luis_Fernando_Meyer_-_V02_kSSsCZF.jpg", "biography": "Luis Fernando Villa\u00e7a Meyer \u00e9 diretor de opera\u00e7\u00f5es do Instituto Cordial, respons\u00e1vel pelo Painel Brasileiro da Mobilidade e pelo Painel Brasileiro da Obesidade, e gerente da \u00e1rea de Dados e Tecnologia do instituto.

One of the pillars of this process involves speed, scalability, security and availability of data produced. Furthermore, CPRM is creating a favorable environment for the adoption of cloud-based architecture.\r\n\r\nThis paper aims to present an overview of a new developed Geological Spatial Data Infrastructure for the SGB. The GeoSGB is the main source for internal mapping, infographic and dashboard applications. It will assimilate legacy services, that runs on isolated map servers, such as self hosted node of OneGeology OGC Services.\r\n\r\nThe solution adopted is GeoNode 4.2, which brings together map, data services, metadata catalog and spatial database. It is free and open source software with a very active community. In addition, GeoNode has a good content management system, a rich API, and it\u2019s fully customizable. To meet data access demands, it was customized to run in Kubernetes-based environments and each mapped area produces its own geoservice, exportable to different formats, such as shapefile and geotiff.\r\n\r\nHowever, it became necessary a complete separation between the production and publishing environments. SGB\u2019s production pipeline is composed by internally developed data management software. Some of these systems are being modernized, with updates on business rules, frameworks and security. GIS work is carried out in ArcGIS Enterprise\u00ae, with some exceptions in QGIS and GeoServer. With this background, it should be considered as a hybrid GIS model.\r\n\r\nAbout database structures, a process of harmonization was necessary, mainly those produced from proprietary GIS. For legacy reasons, the proprietary structures were maintained, as long as possible to export to OGC WKT or WKB. Exported geometries are analyzed for compliance with Simple Features Standard (OGC/ISO19125). The information eligible for publication were consolidated in database views and is literally replicated to GeoSGB, by script.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe metadata production for continuous databases is carried out semi-automatically \u2013 templated - in accordance with the mapping program. This is possible by integrating GeoNode's APIs with internal databases, delivering associated metadata and resources directly to the authors. The contact with (meta)data authors were managed by GeoNode.\r\n\r\nThe symbolization of thematic layers involved the development of interoperable libraries, based on SVG glyphs inserted in OpenType fonts (ISO/IEC 14496-22:2007), with near equal rendering among different multi-platform GIS software.\r\n\r\nData and metadata pipelines were implemented using Python scripts, with specific libraries associated with GeoNode APIs. Apache Airflow manages the entire process of extracting internal bases, quality tests, structure analysis and loading on the GeoSGB database server, including being responsible for notification activities.\r\n\r\nSo, GeoSGB now is a continuous development platform, with focus in increase quality in delivered data to customers.\r\n\r\nThe future perspectives involve the transformation itself into research line in geotechnologies and high-performance IT services. It shoud envolve plug-in development for data management, processing and visualization including use of artificial intelligence. In operational terms, adoption of OGC APIs, data internationalization and harmonization, associated with adoption of OGC specific standards, such as GeoSciML and WaterML contributes to become SGB a global supplier of geoscientific data.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "BZLYD8", "name": "Carlos Eduardo Mota", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/5de9b6b0c31556f8af1c354a7bad3f72_WKqnoht.jpg", "biography": "Geoscience Researcher, Geologist PhD, Head od Data Science Group of the Geoscientific Infrastructuture Directorship of Geological Survey of Brazil. 15 years of experience in Python and several FOSS4G tools (MapServer, Geoserver, PostGIS, GeoNode)", "public_name": "Carlos Eduardo Mota", "guid": "44c3ff73-bb93-5898-9569-e1cc3897de99", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/BZLYD8/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/3MTN3L/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/3MTN3L/", "attachments": [{"title": "Apresenta\u00e7\u00e3o - Presentation", "url": "/media/foss4g-2024/submissions/3MTN3L/resources/FOSS4G2024-OpenGeoSGB_bx0l1uA.pdf", "type": "related"}]}, {"guid": "b72a7853-ea8c-5bf9-a58e-2785c2a5f33b", "code": "FFN3YW", "id": 2764, "logo": null, "date": "2024-12-06T16:30:00-03:00", "start": "16:30", "duration": "00:30", "room": "Room I", "slug": "foss4g-2024-2764-qgis-ask-me-anything", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/FFN3YW/", "title": "QGIS - Ask me anything!", "subtitle": "", "track": "Use cases & applications", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "QGIS Chairman Marco Bernasocchi and core developer  Matthias Kuhn (remote) will be available for an hour to answer any QGIS-related questions.

This combination of processes pose a threat to agricultural and rural areas and the sediment-laden water can infect even the urban zones or cause damage to infrastructure. Detecting and predicting the formation of erosive rills on agricultural land is, therefore, crucial for effective land management and disaster prevention in rural areas.  \r\n\r\n  \r\n\r\nThe contribution presents a research on the utilisation of convolutional neural networks (CNN) to detect enhanced erosion using remote sensing data combined with the SMODERP hydrological and erosion model.   \r\n\r\n  \r\n\r\nWhile most tools for semantic segmentation (such as random forests) work only with single-pixel values, CNNs consider also the relationship with its surroundings and between the bands. As the erosion rill patterns are visible especially when compared to the surrounding soil, it is a valuable feature for their detection.   \r\n\r\n  \r\n\r\nHowever, if we also have the digital elevation model, we can use geospatial tools and algorithms to enhance the imagery input to the neural networks with knowledge-based indices. In this case, it is the SMODERP model.  \r\n\r\n  \r\n\r\nSMODERP is a hydrological model designed to simulate surface runoff and erosion processes. It considers various factors such as soil type, land cover, slope, and rainfall intensity to predict the movement of water and sediments throughout the landscape. The model calculates the critical height of sheet runoff as a rill formation threshold, which is essential to understand where erosion is likely to occur. The SMODERP is developed as a GIS tool, available through GRASS GIS and QGIS. More details about model on smoderp.fsv.cvut.cz or on GitHub.  \r\n\r\n  \r\n\r\nThe methodology begins with data collection and preparation, utilising high-resolution orthophoto aerial images of spatial resolutions of only a few centimetres. Additionally, hydrological data from the SMODERP model are incorporated to the CNN's input to capture erosion dynamics.

Uber\u2019s H3 index offers a transformative approach to handling spatial data, making it a valuable tool for developers and researchers alike. In this talk, we will explore how the H3 index can be utilized across a variety of open-source projects. We will delve into its advantages, such as ease of distance calculation, reliability at extreme latitudes, and the benefits of storing data as areas rather than points. Additionally, a live demo will illustrate the practical applications of the H3 index in real-time.\r\n\r\n## Main Points\r\n\r\n1. **Ease of Distance Calculation**\r\n   \r\n   Calculating distances between geographic points is a fundamental task in many applications. Traditional methods, relying on latitude and longitude, can be computationally intensive and complex. The H3 index simplifies this process by using a hexagonal grid system. Each hexagon, or cell, has a unique identifier that allows for straightforward distance calculations. This system reduces the computational overhead and enhances the performance of applications that require frequent distance measurements, such as ride-sharing services and delivery optimization platforms.\r\n\r\n2. **Reliability at the Poles**\r\n\r\n   Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) become less reliable and more distorted as one moves towards the poles due to the curvature of the Earth. The H3 index mitigates this issue through its hexagonal grid, which maintains consistent cell shapes and sizes across the globe, including polar regions. This characteristic ensures that spatial analyses and operations are accurate and reliable, regardless of geographic location. For instance, environmental monitoring projects can benefit from this consistency when tracking climate change indicators in polar areas.\r\n\r\n3. **Storing Data as Areas**\r\n\r\n   Traditional spatial data storage often relies on point-based representations, which can lead to inefficiencies and inaccuracies, particularly when dealing with large datasets or areas. The H3 index allows for data to be stored as areas rather than points, leveraging its hexagonal cells. This approach offers several advantages:\r\n   - **Efficiency:** Hexagonal cells cover areas more uniformly, reducing data redundancy and improving storage efficiency.\r\n   - **Accuracy:** By representing regions as collections of hexagonal cells, spatial analyses can be more precise. This is especially useful for applications such as urban planning and resource management.\r\n   - **Scalability:** Hexagonal cells can easily aggregate or disaggregate, facilitating scalable solutions for various spatial resolutions.\r\n\r\n## Conclusion\r\n\r\nUber\u2019s H3 index is a powerful tool that enhances how we handle and analyze geographic data. Its ease of distance calculation, reliability at extreme latitudes, and efficient area-based data storage present significant advantages for a wide range of open-source projects. By adopting the H3 index, developers and researchers can achieve more accurate, efficient, and scalable solutions for their spatial data needs.\r\n\r\nDuring the talk, we will demonstrate these benefits with a live demo, showcasing how the H3 index can be implemented in a real-world scenario. Whether you are a developer seeking to optimize your application\u2019s performance or a researcher aiming for precise spatial analysis, the H3 index offers a versatile and robust solution.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "NA7RTM", "name": "Luiza Santos", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/SOZINHA_3_SyAHGtZ.jpg", "biography": "Operations Research Master Student at ITA and Data Engineer", "public_name": "Luiza Santos", "guid": "6c5e9160-24d0-58e1-994b-447166fb6f30", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/NA7RTM/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/VJQSYT/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/VJQSYT/", "attachments": [{"title": "PPT_Presentation", "url": "/media/foss4g-2024/submissions/VJQSYT/resources/foss4g-h3index-presentation_xeyJenu.pdf", "type": "related"}]}, {"guid": "c2d799ae-9112-588c-9b38-5164924614a3", "code": "VK8CVW", "id": 2913, "logo": null, "date": "2024-12-06T15:00:00-03:00", "start": "15:00", "duration": "00:30", "room": "Room II", "slug": "foss4g-2024-2913-enhancing-resilience-to-pluvial-flooding-in-pacific-island-nations-a-novel-approach-to-rapid-rainfall-modelling-and-risk-assessment", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/VK8CVW/", "title": "Enhancing Resilience to Pluvial Flooding in Pacific Island Nations: A Novel Approach to Rapid Rainfall Modelling and Risk Assessment.", "subtitle": "", "track": "Use cases & applications", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "Flooding caused by rainfall poses a significant hazard to Pacific Island nations that are at risk of cyclones and large rainfall events. Particularly, island nations such as Samoa, which are characterised by high mountains and steep river gullies, are highly susceptible to flash flooding events. Despite this recognised threat, a notable absence of reliable, high-quality data hinders the application of traditional hydrodynamic models that typically rely on precise river flow values and often disregard rainfall factors. Furthermore, there is an absence of flood hazard inundation maps that can provide a basic indication and outline the potential consequences of rainfall-induced flooding on both the populace and the environment within these regions.\r\n\r\nTo address these challenges, the Pacific Risk Tools for Resilience Phase-2 (PARTneR-2) project, co-led by the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and the Pacific Community (SPC), has introduced a novel approach to rapid rain-on-grid modelling. This methodology uses a combination of open-source geo-spatial software, including QGIS, RAS Mapper, and 2D hydrodynamics software BG-Flood, on limited geo-spatial data to rapidly produce indicative flood depth inundation maps.\r\n\r\nOur study has concentrated on two Pacific Island nations: Samoa and Vanuatu. For these two countries, we have developed a series of flood depth inundation maps at national coverage for 10-, 50-, and 100-year Annual Recurrence Intervals (ARI). The model used to produce the maps requires limited input data, is reasonably easy to set up, and can be run in under 12 hours. The maps produced are useful in providing a basic indication of areas that are at the most risk of flooding in a specified rainfall event. The method is cost-effective and can be implemented using entirely open-source software.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, by integrating the flood maps produced by this study with geo-spatial asset data sets, particularly focusing on buildings, our study shows how we can quantify the exposure and potential losses to flooding events, employing the Riskscape multi-hazard risk modelling software. The outcomes generated by this innovative method offer valuable insights that can inform resource allocation decisions during the critical hours following a significant rainfall event, particularly in the context of a Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) study.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "YTVQDM", "name": "James Battersby", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/James_Battersby_UrkprhS.jpg", "biography": "I am a Climate Risk Scientist at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in Wellington, New Zealand.

(CentroGeo) and have been coordinated by the National Council of Humanities, Sciences and Technologies (Conahcyt), which is the Mexican government institution responsible for establishing public policies on humanities, sciences, technologies and innovation throughout the country.\r\n\r\n\r\nARTICULATION WITH ENI\r\n\r\nConahcyt created the National Informatics Ecosystems (ENI) to make available the results of research funded by the state, publishing open data, information visualizations, analysis and maps that help citizens better understand the country in which they live. \r\n\r\nENIs are collaborative and open access spaces that contribute to local and regional knowledge to address Mexico's priority problems by storing, processing, analyzing and disseminating humanistic, scientific and technological information. The topics addressed are: toxic agents and polluting processes, water, culture, education, energy and climate change, health, human security, socio-ecological systems and sustainability, food sovereignty and housing.\r\n\r\nGema and Sisdai are articulated with the ENIs, as contributions to open science. All of them are available in public portals.\r\n\r\n\r\nGEMA\r\n\r\nWe will begin this talk by asking: is it possible to have a country where the government, academia, civil society, private sector and media collaborate to generate, publish and consume open data? And the answer is simple: this would be ideal, but today it remains a utopia.\r\n\r\nGema is moving towards institutional interoperability, but also exploring the incorporation of data outside the scope of government. \r\n\r\nConahcyt manages research projects with academia and we all know that historically scientific production has been shared mainly in specialized journals, books and research articles that generally involve payment.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, what happens to the data used as input in research? It usually remains within the research teams and is not published, hindering replicability, interoperability and methodological contrast.\r\n\r\nThis project contributes to open science by promoting free access to scientific research products (data, methodology, code, etc.).\r\n\r\nIn Mexico there are different national instances of data collection, integration and visualization, for example the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), the Ministry of Health, the National Population Council (Conapo), the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System, among others.\r\n\r\nTo support the analysis and visualization of data, Gema has loaded layers of information from all of the above-mentioned agencies, making it possible to cross-reference official data with information derived from research projects. \r\n\r\nGema (in English Gem) takes its name from the combination of the first letters of the words \u201cgestor\u201d and \u201cmapas\u201d in Spanish, thus alluding to a precious stone, as well as to the gradual process it takes to become a real precious jewel, such as the constant transformation of data into information and knowledge, which results in an input of great value and importance.  \r\n\r\nAs a Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure, created in an open science environment and with accessibility criteria, Gema integrates a free data model, as well as tools so that users can explore, compile, visualize and share geospatial information related to humanistic, scientific and technological activity. \r\n\r\n\r\nSISDAI\r\n\r\nBeyond being a free software project, it is a design system that allows to establish rules, patterns and practices to ensure the consistency of complex, flexible and constantly evolving digital products. \r\n\r\nSisdai is built in an interdisciplinary way, considering criteria for accessibility, usability, data visualization, good code practices and user experience. Its structure is based on the atomic design methodology, which proposes that from simple elements -atoms- complex components and functions -organisms- are formed and, in turn, these form functional and robust templates and user interfaces under the same logic to be able to decompose them if necessary.\r\n\r\nBy using Sisdai you will be able to explore buttons, menus, graphs, maps, components, and others that will allow you to develop accessible interfaces. Also, if your native language is not English, you will have the opportunity to access documented code in Spanish! Sisdai libraries are developed using open source technologies, such as the Vue.js Javascript framework, OpenLayers, D3.js and Git.\r\n\r\nSisdai enhances the social impact of research projects by promoting technological autonomy and independence with the use of free software components. The Sisdai portal aims to enable as many people as possible to perceive, understand, navigate and interact correctly. This includes those with different disabilities: visual, hearing, motor, cognitive or neurological, as well as older adults and those unfamiliar with the Internet. The code repositories, libraries and documentation that comprise it are developed by Mexican work teams where the Spanish language is privileged. \r\n\r\nThere are currently 5 public code libraries in institutional repositories available for research teams.\r\n\r\n\r\nCONCLUSION\r\n\r\nENI-Gema-Sisdai are open projects in favor of the nation, in which collaborations were carried out with more than a dozen research teams, institutions and public centers. There are more than twenty public portals of the ENI project, about 400 geographic layers with free format downloads in Gema and 5 open source libraries in Sisdai.

In 1960, the edited diary of Carolina Maria de Jesus, Quarto de Despejo, become one of the best-selling books in Brazil. It vividly portrayed the struggles of a single mother scavenging the streets of the city looking for anything to sell so she could feed her family. Some Brazilians did not believe that a Black woman from a \u201cfavela\u201d neighborhood could have composed such a poetically poignant manuscript, but more recent scholarship has confirmed the authenticity of Carolina\u2019s authorship.  \r\n\r\nIt is clear that Carolina saw and felt lines of division between her neighborhood and the city not visible on any printed maps of the time. When going into \u201cthe city\u201d she felt like she was in paradise, or a beautiful guest room; whereas her neighborhood on the precarious margins of the Tiet\u00ea River was viewed as the backyard trash heap, subject to environmental hazards and government neglect. In this talk, I use narrative maps to show how these different places in Carolina\u2019s life were constructed and what they each meant to her.  \r\n\r\nIn order to better understand Carolina's relationship to the spaces she called \u201cthe favela\u201d and \u201cthe city\u201d, I carefully constructed a list of every place mentioned in Quarto de Despejo. Employing a combination of archival research, Internet searches, onsite visits, and modern GIS databases, our research team located and mapped as many of these locations as possible, using QGIS software. For a base layer, we fashioned a historical street grid by starting with OpenStreetMap and modifying the geometries to conform to old aerial photographs freely available online. We then used our newly-created databases to compose narrative maps of Carolina\u2019s S\u00e3o Paulo, focusing on areas where she did and did not go, as well as places where she experienced different kinds of emotions, challenges, access to resources, and interactions with the state. These maps demonstrate how geographic and social barriers both seen and unseen influenced the daily lives of Paulistanos in the 1950s, a challenge that persists in Brazil today.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "MWNL3P", "name": "Sterling Quinn", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/sterlingquinn_NaYGP9V.jpg", "biography": "Sterling D.

In this talk, we will discuss TerraBrasilis' development, updates, and improvements. We built the portal's front-end and back-end using free and open-source software.\r\nINPE\u2019s program named BiomasBR is responsible for long term projects that generate the official data about the Brazilian biomes. These projects process Earth observation satellite images with the goal of generating accurate and timely data to support the country in monitoring and controlling deforestation, forest degradation, forest fire, and other environmental impacts on the Brazilian Amazon forest and other biomes. In this talk, we address specifically the projects PRODES and DETER. The Real Time Deforestation Detection System (DETER) uses Earth observation satellite imagery to map and report changes in forest cover across the Amazon and the Cerrado biome. As a result, DETER produces, every day, sets of polygons, referred to as alerts, that delineate areas where deforestation or degradation (such as mining, forest fire scars, or logging) can be perceived. Each DETER alert includes the image date that generated it, the type of change, and other attributes. DETER uses images from sensors with high temporal resolution and large swath width, with the appropriate spectral bands to detect vegetation cover change. Currently, DETER uses mainly data from the Wild Field Imager (WFI) on board the Amazonia-1 and the China-Brazil Earth Resource Satellite (CBERS-4A). Command-and-control organizations use the data produced by DETER to plan and qualify field actions.\r\nThe Legal Amazon Deforestation Satellite Monitoring Project (PRODES) maps, annually, the suppression of native vegetation in Brazil. Initially, the project restricted its scope to the Legal Amazon region, conducting an annual inventory of forest loss dating back to 1988. In 2001, the project expanded its scope to include the monitoring of Cerrado biome. PRODES uses medium resolution imagery with the appropriate spectral bands to detect vegetation cover change. It uses images from the Operational Imager (OLI) sensor on board the Landsat-8 satellite, the Multispectral Camera (MUX) from CBERS-4 and CBERS-4A, and the Multispectral Instrument (MSI) from Sentinel-2. PRODES data has supported long-term public policies to contain native vegetation removal in the Amazon and the Cerrado. Currently, the project has expanded to encompass all Brazilian biomes. PRODES data support public policies, greenhouse gas emission estimates, and can help release international resources associated with conservation, climate, and biodiversity agendas. \r\nPRODES and DETER generate a large volume of geospatial data useful to a several organizations. Given the strategic importance of these projects, and INPE\u2019s commitment to geospatial open source and open data, the TerraBrasilis portal is the one-stop point to access PRODES and DETER data.  The portal is used by the Brazilian government, academic and private sectors, non-governmental organisations, and the general public interested in environmental issues. As such, TerraBrasilis is a way to ensure INPE\u2019s transparency regarding the environmental data it generates. It allows anyone to explore land cover data without requiring further knowledge.\r\nThe main functional requirements and characteristics that guide the development of TerraBrasilis are: multiplicity of users, with different technological backgrounds and different interests; data might be subject to temporal embargo before being public; temporal embargo might be overcome by authorized users; data is related to the same process, but has a distinct production timetable and distinct time granularity; data has to be presented as a web map with the conventional operations of zooming, pan, layer selection, etc.; data summaries should be available with common visualization tools such as graphs, charts, and tables; users need to make comparisons over time and different spatial units of interest, such as municipalities, states, indigenous lands, or conservation units; data can be downloaded in open formats; data can be accessed through open geospatial services.\r\nConsidering these requirements TerraBrasilis is designed as a set of multiple independent panels, to expose different views of its geospatial database. A series of scripts connect to the production database and prepare the data for publishing in TerraBrasilis. The publishing database contains over 2 PB of raster and vector data, and this volume increases daily. It contains data for Brazil's entire territory. Some datasets date back to 1988.\r\nPRODES and DETER data are available in distinct web mapping panels that allow the visualization of multiple layers, spatial and temporal filtering, as well as the download of data in open formats such as GeoTIFF and Shapefile. They are also available in interactive dashboards where users can make comparisons over time and different spatial units of interest, such as municipalities, states, or conservation units.\r\nTerraBrasilis uses a service-oriented paradigm that follows interoperable international spatial data standards and the specifications of the Brazilian National Spatial Data Infrastructure (INDE). TerraLib offers Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)-compliant services such as Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Service Coverage (WCS) and Catalog Service for the Web (CSW).\r\nTerraBrasilis publishes all of the data generated in DETER and PRODES, and it is constantly evolving. Recently, the portal has developed and integrated some panels that integrate data from PRODES and DETER, along with other data sources such as INPE's vegetation fire monitoring project in Brazil. The Situation Room panel, for example, allows the observation of critical areas of deforestation and vegetation fire, through a series of indicators based on data from DETER and other environmental indicators. In this talk, we will provide a general overview of the portal, the technical aspects of its development, and the data presented in TerraBrasilis.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "E8PVV9", "name": "Lubia Vinhas", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/lubia-1_Aq0jJr4.jpg", "biography": "I am a researcher at the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE).

My talk will showcase the application of R, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics, in creating detailed maps that reveal critical socio-economic and environmental patterns across Brazil. Our work primarily focuses on public health, education, environmental issues, and economic development, demonstrating the transformative power of open-source GIS in governmental institutions.\r\n\r\nThe data sources for our analysis are primarily open data repositories provided by the government, NGOs, and private institutions. We integrate various datasets, including public expenditure, municipal influence, population, and hospital locations. Statistical tools such as clustering, centrality measures, correlation, chi-square tests, and distribution measures are employed to identify patterns and produce significant graphical elements. We utilize R packages like {geobr} and {spdata} for accessing thematic shapefiles, including states, municipalities, municipal seats, and biomes. Our mapping projects often stem from requests by institutions such as the National Treasury Secretariat and the Vice-Presidency of the Republic, as well as spontaneous contributions to the data science ecosystem.\r\n\r\nOne of our key findings relates to healthcare access. Cities with low management capacity and influence are typically associated with significant travel distances for hospital care. In the realm of education and human development, public education policies have reshaped the municipal HDI map of Brazil between 1991 and 2010, particularly in the Northeast. In Cear\u00e1, education improvements were pivotal in enhancing HDI from 1991 to 2010. The impact of COVID-19 has also been a critical area of focus. By the first anniversary of the epidemic, numerous Brazilian municipalities reported death tolls nearing the total deaths observed from 2014 to 2018.\r\n\r\nClimate change exacerbates natural disaster issues in Brazil, notably floods and droughts in Rio Grande do Sul and the Amazon region. Despite most Brazilian homes having at least one bathroom, maps reveal that the North region and Maranh\u00e3o still have many municipalities with low proportions of homes with bathrooms. Conversely, the South and Southeast regions, especially S\u00e3o Paulo, show high proportions of residences with access to central water supply networks. When considering environmental pressure, many Global South countries see their HDI positions improve, while the Global North, notably Canada, experiences a significant decline.\r\n\r\nEconomic analysis reveals that in Brazil, five clusters of municipalities are formed based on municipal GDP components. Maps highlight patterns associated with agricultural strength in the West, wealth in S\u00e3o Paulo, and significant economic deprivation in the Northeast and northern Minas Gerais. On a broader scale, Brazil stands out with the largest GDP growth in South America from 1960 to 2023, while Argentina and Venezuela have seen their shares plummet, and Chile remains stable.\r\n\r\nThe maps generated serve multiple purposes. They are integral to storytelling, dashboards, and publications on platforms like Medium. Some maps are intended solely for internal use by the requesting institutions. Many projects have their codes available on GitHub or Gist, promoting transparency and collaboration within the data science community.\r\n\r\nOur work demonstrates the profound impact of using open-source GIS tools in governmental institutions. The ability to visualize and analyze complex data sets in a spatial context has enabled more informed decision-making and public policy development.

Since its foundation in 1936, it has become the main provider of data and information in the country, meeting the needs of various segments of civil society as well as federal, state, and municipal government entities. Its institutional mission is \"to portray Brazil by providing the information required to the understanding of its reality and the exercise of citizenship\". To achieve this, it identifies and analyzes the territory, counts the population, shows economic evolution through people\u2019s work and production, while also revealing how they live. \r\n\r\nTo support this purpose, IBGE maintains the Territorial Base (TB), a spatial information system supporting the operations of collection, processing, analysis, tabulation, charts, cartograms, and publications of its surveys and censuses. It is also used for evaluations of population estimates by identifying, monitoring, and representing the evolution of the territory, mainly through the development of its census sector network. \r\n\r\nThe TB consists of a graphical base of georeferenced information representing territorial structures, census tracts (called sectors) and other elements. These structures can be legal, such as the political-administrative division; analytical, linked to territorial patterns or specific population groups; or operational, intended to guarantee access to and coverage of census units. \r\n\r\nAmong the territorial structures that comprise the TB, the census sector underpins the operational organization of censuses and some sample surveys. It is a territorial interview collection unit whose size and number of households and establishments allow the census taker to complete their activities within a specified timeframe. Moreover, it is the basic unit for disseminating census information, allowing public access to statistical results at the smallest spatial range. \r\n \r\nIn mid-2014, IBGE was moving from a data update model based on a complete review conducted just before a census operation to a continuous update model, which was more complex and required more agile tools and systems for operators. At that time, however, the software used by the TB was commercial, with the update and customization processes for the entity's specific objectives being slow and difficult, as they were tied to contracts with the supplier. This represented a considerable, often prohibitive, expense for public coffers.  \r\n\r\nConcurrently, a staff of analysts had formed within IBGE, coming from civil service exams held in previous years for specialized technical jobs. These servers had two synergistic qualities: methodological knowledge of the activities performed by the institution, and some had technical capabilities in systems development. \r\n\r\nGiven the scenario, it became feasible to explore an internal alternative for TB update activities. Such a system should meet these technological premises: \r\n\r\nBe based on a free platform without licensing costs, preferably with an open-source codebase to avoid future dependencies; \r\n\r\nOperate with low computational and network requirements to meet the diverse realities of users; \r\n\r\nBe fully customizable to adapt to the needs of the TB and IBGE. \r\n\r\nGiven such requirements and considering the technical knowledge and stage of evolution of geoprocessing tools at the time, the system was defined as an external plugin for QGIS (using pyQGIS API) with a graphical interface modeled in Qt framework (using pyQt API). \r\n\r\nThe Geographic Information System for the Territorial Base (SIGBT), therefore, is the technological solution that emerged in 2014. Its conception, implementation, and homologation stages were always characterized by constant collaborative development, where TB technicians and related areas of IBGE could participate and contribute in several ways, from signaling problems to suggesting improvements and even writing the code itself. The development of SIGBT was designed modularly, to meet the methodological and conceptual priorities defined by IBGE. \r\n\r\nIts code was primarily written in Python, and the handled data is managed by an SQLite database (with SpatiaLite extension), made available to internal users for download and offline editing from a versioned Git repository. \r\n\r\nAmong the main procedures performed by SIGBT are the graphical operations on census sectors (divisions, aggregations, adjustments, and ensuring comparability between previous sector grids) and intra-sector layers (localities, roads, blocks, and block faces). It also ensures the topological and methodological consistency of the edits made. Additionally, the production of maps used in census operations is carried out on SIGBT. \r\n\r\nSince the advent of SIGBT, three major data update cycles aimed at census operations have been conducted using the system: the 2015 Population Count (which was eventually canceled), the 2016 Census of Agriculture, and the 2022 Demographic Census (which prompted two update cycles due to two postponements). \r\n\r\nCurrently, SIGBT is in use at the IBGE Coordination of Territorial Structures, in all 27 State Superintendencies, and in most of its over 560 agencies. It comprises about 50 specific functions that automate processes, facilitate edits, and enable the continuous updating of the TB. The system also integrates information from other databases from different areas that interact with the TB, enabling integrated editing and visualization of all data, thus facilitating the construction of territorial occupation indicators at the national level. \r\n\r\nLooking towards the future of SIGBT, the development of new modules for public access is being considered. It is projected that these modules will leverage QGIS navigation resources to offer citizens easier and quicker access to geographic data published by IBGE. \r\n\r\n  \r\n\r\nFinal Considerations \r\n\r\nThe explanation above showcases, through IBGE's experience with SIGBT, the feasibility of using a free software architecture for complex geographical projects with a wide range of geographic applications.  \r\n\r\nFrom a budgetary perspective, the superiority of free software was also verified, as SIGBT has contributed estimated savings that would exceed six figures since its creation, solely from software licensing that is no longer used. \r\n\r\nThe SIGBT initiative, therefore, presents itself as a successful example of a system based on free and open-source software, developed by public administration, showing that the use of this type of structure is not only viable but desirable.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "SZN8MC", "name": "Fabiano Saraiva", "avatar": null, "biography": null, "public_name": "Fabiano Saraiva", "guid": "7b3291cd-d5cc-5bb5-b469-fc725f0e8488", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/SZN8MC/"}, {"code": "KJQE8T", "name": "Ivan Lonel", "avatar": null, "biography": "GIS Analyst at the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE.", "public_name": "Ivan Lonel", "guid": "6b5280a2-4e7d-5c08-af67-68a8c6a93abc", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/KJQE8T/"}, {"code": "HYHDGR", "name": "Lucas Halberstadt da Rosa", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/foto_Lucas_aloSke0.jpeg", "biography": "Analista de Geoprocessamento do IBGE desde 2016, em Minas Gerais.\r\nIntegrante do grupo de desenvolvimento do SIGBT desde 2017.\r\nEngenheiro Civil com experi\u00eancia de quase 10 anos em projetos na \u00e1rea ambiental.", "public_name": "Lucas Halberstadt da Rosa", "guid": "8b6c11f4-0363-5027-b96c-f6ccdfcb93a0", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/HYHDGR/"}, {"code": "VXZNZE", "name": "Carlos Eduardo Cagna", "avatar": null, "biography": null, "public_name": "Carlos Eduardo Cagna", "guid": "1daeed71-7dcf-5caa-8bd0-c43655a7e48f", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/VXZNZE/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/Y8DPZC/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/Y8DPZC/", "attachments": []}, {"guid": "6fd7a3ec-3b89-53e3-b0fe-d5f0c13d005f", "code": "EY738P", "id": 2762, "logo": null, "date": "2024-12-06T15:00:00-03:00", "start": "15:00", "duration": "00:30", "room": "Room III", "slug": "foss4g-2024-2762-the-copernicus-global-land-cover-and-tropical-forest-mapping-and-monitoring-service-a-free-and-open-dynamic-global-land-cover-service-at-10-m-resolution-for-the-years-2020-2026", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/EY738P/", "title": "The Copernicus Global Land Cover and Tropical Forest Mapping and Monitoring service - a free and open dynamic global land cover service at 10 m resolution for the years 2020-2026.", "subtitle": "", "track": "Open Data", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "The newly established Copernicus Global Land Cover and Tropical Forest Mapping and Monitoring service (LCFM), coordinated by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) and implemented by a consortium led by VITO, marks a significant advancement in land cover mapping.

A Model for Public Agencies", "subtitle": "", "track": "Transition to FOSS4G", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "In 2015, the City of S\u00e3o Paulo launched GeoSampa, a platform providing access to a variety of cadastral data, maps, satellite images, and information on zoning, land use, urban infrastructure, land subdivision, and public areas for both municipal technicians and the general public. GeoSampa serves as a data repository, allowing different departments to share their information and keep it updated on the platform. A notable example is the Licensing Department, which in 2015 presented a geographic database solution using open-source software, with Linux, Postgres, PostGIS, Python, and QGIS, for land subdivision processes. These initiatives solved major problems and streamlined work processes, highlighting the importance of a data-sharing culture among public agencies for urban development.\r\nThe work developed by the Licensing Department was summarized in the experience cataloged by CEBRAP in a program called COPI-COLA, whose content can be seen in full on the CEBRAP website  https://cebrap.org.br/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Guia_5.pdf. This program adopted an innovative approach by using open-source software to develop and maintain the system, significantly reducing implementation costs and making team work more efficient and integrated. Other areas also benefited from the organized and available information on GeoSampa, serving as an example for public agencies across the country.\r\nThis work specifically aims to show two technical examples of codes used in the Geographic Database mentioned above, which I developed, highlighting the practical benefits of collaboration and technological innovation in the public sector using open-source software.\r\nExample 1\r\nAccording to Ordinance No. 957/GC3 of 2015, issued by the Brazilian Aeronautics Command (COMAER), guidelines are established for the creation and management of Airport Protection Zones (ZPA). The objective is to ensure the safety and efficiency of air operations by preventing obstacles and activities that could interfere with air navigation. The ordinance details the competencies of municipalities and other bodies in monitoring and controlling these areas, as well as defining specific restrictions for land use near airports.\r\nDue to the large volume of licensing requests, if all enterprises were subject to DECEA's evaluation, there would be a need to increase DECEA's team, resulting in approval delays. To mitigate this problem, the implementation of a geographic system, to be used by the City of S\u00e3o Paulo, could select only cases in regions where DECEA's action was necessary.\r\nA system using Linux, Postgres, PostGIS, and QGIS was developed by the department's technicians with validation from DECEA's technicians. This optimized processes, reducing DECEA's workload and shortening approval times. Our objective is to briefly present how this system was developed and its impact on time savings and information security.\r\nExample 2\r\nThe work consisted of creating an algorithm to comply with Article 131 of Law No. 16.402/2016. \"The use of properties, for the purposes of land subdivision, use, and occupation discipline, is classified as permitted or not permitted and as compliant or non-compliant. \u00a7 2\u00ba Use not permitted in the location is that which cannot be implemented or installed on the property due to the zone and the street width.\" Street width is defined as the distance between property alignments, including the carriageway and public walkway.\r\nWe used the cartographic bases of the City of S\u00e3o Paulo, surveyed in 2004, for geoprocessing. The tool used was the QGIS software (Geographic Information System - GIS), the official project of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo). The Licensing and Urban Development Department's (SMUL) database on street widths at the time (2018) covered between 35% and 40% of the city's streets. The database had low reliability, as measurements were taken randomly at three different points on the street segment, making it visually impossible to pinpoint where the width is smallest, thus preventing proper application of the above law. Measurements not included in this database would be taken in loco by subprefecture technicians and sent to the Licensing Department's Cadastre Division for completion. This database gathered measurements taken over time and was not available to the public.\r\nThe work presented here was developed using scripts in PyQGIS, which combines the Python programming language with QGIS APIs, allowing for automated geometry tracing. The created code used all street segments and traced all elevations from the nodes created in the block layers, choosing the minimum elevation. This work does not eliminate the need for in loco measurements, but like in Example 1, selects the necessary cases, significantly reducing the number of visits and increasing reliability for proper law enforcement.\r\nConclusion\r\nThe success of GeoSampa and associated projects reveals that using open-source tools promotes transparency and accessibility of geographic information, strengthening citizen participation and facilitating urban planning, making cities smarter and more sustainable.\r\nAs a developer of this project, I feel immense pride in having contributed to this digital and technological transformation in public administration. Seeing the positive impact of our work is extremely gratifying.\r\nUltimately, S\u00e3o Paulo's example can inspire other cities to adopt similar practices, contributing to a future where technology and innovation serve efficient and inclusive urban development. Thus, the cartographic transition from map library to geoprocessing marks a new era in public administration, where geographic information is a valuable resource for decision-making and improving quality of life in cities.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "TU33BU", "name": "Sylvia Regina Rodrigues Damiao", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/829535a2-72ee-491b-93ef-b9d1647ef6b7_HjNdeac.jpeg", "biography": "Civil Engineer with 32 years of experience in Housing, Environment, and database development at the S\u00e3o Paulo City Hall, working in land subdivision, licensing, and public areas.

This talk addresses the existing gaps in the utilization of open-source data by decision-makers and explores sustainable funding models for these initiatives. \r\n\r\n Case Studies:\r\n\r\n1. Assessing Climate-Related Disaster Damage Using EMDAT:\r\n   The Emergency Events Database (EMDAT) provides critical open-source data on the damage caused by climate-related disasters. This data is invaluable for developing countries to assess their vulnerabilities and prioritize areas for climate adaptation funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). By using EMDAT, countries can make informed decisions to prevent future damage and allocate resources more effectively.\r\n\r\n2. Using OpenStreetMap (OSM) Data for Small Island Developing States:\r\n   In small island developing states (SIDS), the use of OSM data has been instrumental in assessing average travel times to urban centers. This analysis highlighted the high transactional costs due to fragmented geographies, providing policymakers with concrete evidence to address these challenges. By leveraging OSM data, these countries can improve infrastructure planning and reduce costs, enhancing their resilience to climate impacts.\r\n\r\n Focus Areas:\r\n\r\n1. Gaps in Competencies:\r\n   Despite the availability of valuable open-source data, there remains a significant gap in its usage by policymakers. Data specialists often conduct in-depth analyses that are not easily accessible or understandable to policymakers. Bridging this gap requires improved collaboration and communication between data specialists and policymakers.\r\n\r\n2. Enhancing Data Literacy:\r\n   Policymakers need better data literacy to fully utilize the benefits of open-source data. Training and capacity-building initiatives can empower them to make data-driven decisions, fostering a culture of evidence-based policy-making in climate adaptation and mitigation.\r\n\r\n3. Sustainable Funding for Open Source Initiatives:\r\n   Many open-source projects suffer from intermittent funding, threatening their sustainability. Innovative funding models, such as public-private partnerships, crowdfunding, and subscription-based services, can ensure continuous support and development of open-source data platforms.\r\n\r\nChallenges for Small Landmass Countries:\r\n   Countries with small landmasses, particularly SIDS, often face limitations in accessing open-source data due to satellite coverage gaps and network connectivity issues. Addressing these challenges requires tailored solutions, such as deploying drones for localized data collection and improving internet infrastructure.\r\n\r\nConclusion:\r\n   To maximize the benefits of open-source data for climate action, it is crucial to close the competency gap between data specialists and policymakers. By enhancing data literacy among policymakers and ensuring sustainable funding for open-source initiatives, countries can better harness these tools to develop robust, data-driven climate policies. This talk aims to shed light on these critical issues and propose actionable solutions to bridge existing gaps and promote effective climate decision-making.", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "W79JPP", "name": "Gala", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/1000036212_6HvN0ks.jpg", "biography": "Bringing experience from IT, community-based work, humanitarian and disaster risk reduction to climate action.

At over 410 universities in 78 countries\u2014including 60 chapters in 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean\u2014student-led YouthMappers chapters leverage free, open-source geospatial tools to map their communities and priority regions. This presentation explores the confluence of factors that have enabled university youth spanning diverse identities, academic backgrounds, and languages to successfully engage in YouthMappers activities and with the broader open mapping community. The presentation also discusses the challenges that YouthMappers students face in applying open mapping methods and tools to their work. It features the lived experiences of YouthMappers students, particularly in the Latin American context, and foregrounds topics of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility.\r\n\r\nYouthMappers chapters collaborate with the US Agency for International Development, humanitarian organizations like the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, local and federal governments, NGOs, and other partners to address gaps in geospatial data. Students map areas both in person using open survey tools and remotely using satellite imagery. Ultimately, the open data that they collect and publish power development interventions, disaster response, and digital ecosystem growth, largely in low- and middle-income countries. The key to the YouthMappers network\u2019s expansive growth and impact is its sense of community. For many students, YouthMappers is their initial introduction to open GIS software and its real-world applications. Students build their open mapping skills through peer-to-peer learning within the network and with mentorship from individuals in the larger FOSS4G ecosystem.\r\n\r\nAs a testament to the power of the network, YouthMappers students have collectively contributed over 24 million edits to OpenStreetMap since 2015. Advancements in open mapping software, such as improved options for low-connectivity environments and non-English-speaking users, have enabled YouthMappers students from a greater range of backgrounds to participate in open mapping. The YouthMappers network has also contributed to building FOSS4G tools, such as OSM Teams. This presentation highlights these successes and calls for continued mutually beneficial partnerships between YouthMappers chapters and the broader FOSS4G community.\r\n\r\nThis talk is rooted in a book chapter of the same name co-authored by the three presenters.

This issue is particularly critical in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region, where vulnerable communities have been more frequently affected by these events. The HARMONIZE project goal is to create digital toolkits that stakeholders in climate change hotspots can use to combine data about the environment, climate and health cost-effectively to monitor and send out alerts about a set of diseases that are affected by its effect.\r\n\r\nThis talk will give an overview of the Earth Observation Data Cube tuned for Health Response Systems (EODCtHRS), an HARMONIZE Project component. The EODCtHRS presents a technical-scientific proposal termed HARMONIZE Instance composed of back/front-end solutions developed using free and open-source software for integration and interoperability between specific sets of health, environmental and climate data and the digital infrastructure of the Brazil Data Cube (BDC) project of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). \r\n\r\nThe development of this proposal was divided into four working streams, Drone, Health, Climate, and Data Science Environment modules. Furthermore, we developed a custom version of the web platform for data visualization and analysis of these sources based on BDC Explorer 3.0 (https://brazildatacube.dpi.inpe.br/portal/explore), which presents improved capabilities for discovering, visualizing, and downloading data cubes from remote sensing images (https://brazildatacube.dpi.inpe.br/harmonize/dev/portal/explore). An Harmonize Instance ALPHA Version has been generated.\r\n\r\nThe core background of this platform is the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification which defines a way to store and search data using spatial and temporal operations. The STAC enables the harmonization of data from different sources and maintains interoperability between all system parts. The solution utilizes a suite of technologies from  Python and R environments in addition to PostgreSQL/PostGIS and GeoServer needed to store and publish data collections.\r\n\r\nBelow we present a brief description of each working stream:\r\n\r\nModule 1 - Drone image: The main goal of drone image integration in the context of EODCtHRS is to provide a data infrastructure that meets the demands of health surveillance, especially in areas considered hotspots of climate change. Consequently, we started exploring the integration of the images generated by fieldwork campaigns in some locations of Par\u00e1 State. The processing of these images is based on auxiliary information (course angle and flight height) and EXIF and TIFF metadata tags to support the conversion of the raw images into Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) files ideal for integration with STAC specification implemented by BDC infrastructure. Besides that, mosaics were created using the OpenDroneMap application.  The Alpha version of these data collections (scenes/mosaics) has been published as layers with GeoServer and associated metadata available in STAC catalogs.\r\n\r\nModule 2 - Health data: This module integrates health data for the EODCtHRS, including information from different stakeholders, mainly Fiocruz's Health Information Laboratory (LIS) and the InfoDengue initiative. Both projects produce health indicators, considering the impacts of environmental and climate change on the Brazilian population. The module also covers the development of two main packages.\r\n\r\nThe first, called EODCtHRS Health Indicator Processing (EHIPR), was developed in Python to obtain health indicators from CSV and Parquet files, aggregate them spatially and temporally, spatialize them and accommodate them on the HARMONIZE platform . Second, called EODCtHRS Data PUblisher (EDPU), is a package developed in Python to publish the HARMONIZE datasets as a layer in GeoServer and its metadata in STAC Catalog to make available at the HARMONIZE Explorer. All sources of data (drone images, climate and health indicators) used the EDPU package to publish the ALPHA version of collections produced in the context of the HARMONIZE project. \r\n\r\nModule 3 - Climate data: This module integrates climatological data for EODCtHRS, enabling direct query execution via access interfaces, and eliminating the need for data transfer. Within the project's scope, we consider products produced by Fiocruz team from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), which the European Centre implements for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA5-Land reanalysis dataset and available by the Center for Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies (CPTEC/INPE): SAMeT and MERGE.\r\n \r\nThis module developed the EODCtHRS R Climate Processing Package (rclimpr) to generate climate indicators. The rclimpr uses scripts to extract indicators like temperature and precipitation from netCDF files through spatial and temporal aggregations (epidemiological weeks and months). It outputs raster files in COG format and vector formats like GeoJSON and Shapefile, providing suitable data formats for analysis and visualization.\r\n\r\nModule 4 - The Geospatial Data Science Environment (BDC-Lab) aims to provide a set of geospatial data analysis tools integrated with BDC data, avoiding the necessity to download large amounts of Earth Observation data and allowing researchers to produce deep analysis using tools such as RStudio, QGIS, Metview, VSCode and Jupyter Notebooks with several R and Python geospatial libraries pre-installed. Currently, it is in an experimental phase, where some users are testing its functionalities and providing feedback for its improvement. \r\n\r\nThis talk proposal presents an overview of a software environment developed to harmonize Earth observation, environmental, climate, and health data aiming to provide ways to visualize, analyze, monitor, and alert for spreading diseases in climate change hotspots in LAC region. The development of the HARMONIZE Instance has demonstrated the utility of geoservices and technologies, with standard infrastructure and protocols, as an effective way to harmonize different data formats from diverse data sources in the health context.\r\n\r\nThe HARMONIZE project is financed by the Wellcome Trust (https://wellcome.org) grant number 224694/Z/21/Z, through the  Foundation for Scientific and Technological Development In Health (FIOTEC)  ID Project: ICICT-002-FEX-22 and coordinated by Prof. Rachel Lowe leader of the Global Health Resilience Team in the Earth Sciences Department from  Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC).", "description": null, "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "EPMKLD", "name": "Karine Ferreira", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/foto_Karine_menor_7k7LRXw.jpg", "biography": "Earth Observation and Geoinformatics Division (DIOTG), National Institute for Space Research (INPE),  Brazil", "public_name": "Karine Ferreira", "guid": "cd2e6114-2e0d-55d8-b5bc-1b7de6574864", "url": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/speaker/EPMKLD/"}, {"code": "3PZRDQ", "name": "Marcos Lima Rodrigues", "avatar": "https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/media/avatars/4c1e3ca9-1a4b-4716-b6a1-38cf9bdecb4c_p07jd3c.jpg", "biography": "Computer Scientist, PhD in Applied Computer at INPE.

Speckle, an open source platform simplifies data and model exchange between urban design, architecture, and engineering software, fostering collaboration and automation; it enables this to all happen as a result of a single click! In this presentation, we will share simple workflows using Speckle  to unlock the power of your GIS data.\r\n\r\nSpeckle's open nature serves multiple purposes:\r\n\r\n- GIS Users: Focus on your tasks and avoid technical data misalignments. Align data location-wise and interoperably, and collaborate in real-time via an interactive web interface with a 3D viewer.\r\n\r\n- Developers: Extract real-time data insights, automate workflows and data checks, and build custom apps and integrations using Speckle's infrastructure (3D viewer, SDKs, data access, and authentication).\r\n- Managers: Gain full control of your data with location- and provider-agnostic server setups, custom data access and permissions, time efficiency gains, change tracking, and dashboards.\r\n\r\nSpeckle's flexible schema facilitates easy conversion to and from other native formats and enables  data querying. A recent update includes integration with the OGC API standard, making Speckle data accessible to any client using the OGC API without extra plugins or scripts.

The study showed a need for more research into how GIS can be used more in secondary school pedagogy.  Results of a study done by the author on the status of GIS teaching in secondary schools in South Africa is investigated with the aim to determine if the use of Open Source software such as QGIS and open data such as OSM would facilitate the use of GIS as a teacher intervention. Teachers who participated in the study overwhelming agree that there are numerous benefits to using GIS in the classroom. They also expressed a keen willingness to attend GIS courses and learn more about FOSS4G tools. This study also showed how FOSS4G empowers teachers with the means to create exciting, real and relevant teaching content. A sample group evaluated how practical GIS lessons using QGIS and OSM can be used to teach geospatial skills.\r\nWhat this research study concluded is that comprehensive teacher training is required to make GIS practical lessons more effective in the classroom. This resulted in the development of a certified GIS course for teachers and the development of a coordinated Project Base Learning (PBL) task, which was named the Geospatial Data Science Certificate (GDSC). The GDSC is sponsored by Kartoza, endorsed by the Independent Examination Board (IEB), the Southern African Geography Teachers\u2019 Association (SAGTA) and the University of Pretoria at a nominal cost to make it accessible to all students.
