OPeNDAP vs. WCS Numerical models, such as hydrodynamic and climate models, produce output with a large number of variables and a large number of grid cells and time steps. Further use of the resulting data products has been challenging, especially for further use outside the institute of origin. Due to the vastness of the data, simply downloading copies of data is impossible. Web services are therefore used to access subsets of the data. The most mature candidates for working with gridded data are OPeNDAP... |

Customizing QGIS with Python Plugins QGIS provides a lot of out of the box functionality but it seems there is always another "nice to have" feature. Writing your own plugin is a good way to supplement your QGIS toolbox and have some fun doing it. QGIS supports plugins written in both C++ and Python. This workshop will dive into the process, techniques, and methods for customizing QGIS using Python plugins. Creating a plugin requires a bit of knowledge about QGIS architecture, the Qt toolkit, PyQt, and of course... |

Practical use of GeoServer & SLD for WMS Hands on experience to learn methods for visualization enhancement in multi-source Web Mapping Services (WMS) using basic cartography rules. Web Mapping is the ultimate platform to discover, explore, share, and create content by combining distributed information and services. Combining different geodata sources may result in conflicting presentation styles and, consequently, in confusing maps. The disadvantages can be reduced by using basic rules for web cartography.

A better way to manage millions of map tiles The current open source tile cache implementations all use the file system for managing tiles. Each tile is a single file stored into a common directory hierarchy. It is a pragmatic approach, easy to implement and with good performance, but it is limited. Managing millions of small files is inefficient with most file systems. The time to remove tile sets, calculate cache sizes or sync caches between differens hosts quickly becomes large enough to be impractical. This talk will show... |

Beyond Markers: a new approach to interactive realtime weather maps Markers must go! At least when things concern continuous-space processes such as weather. Could anyone care less about a sensor with its exact measurement unless it is mounted exactly where the person is? Why not move beyond markers and point measurements and instead show values everywhere as surface overlays? Markers are interactive and can link to a pop-up timeline - but so are the surface overlays! This is now possible thanks to the availability of fast spatial predictors, efficient... |

Mod-geocache, a fast tiling solution for the apache web server mod-geocache is a new member in the family of tile caching servers. It aims to be simple to install and configure (no need for the intermediate glue such as mod-python, mod-wsgi or fastcgi), to be (very) fast (written in c and running as a native module under apache), and to be capable (services WMTS, googlemaps, virtualearth, KML, TMS, WMS). When acting as a WMS server, it will also respond to untiled requests, by merging its cached tiles vertically (multiple layers) and/or horizontally.... |

Thresholds of Proprietary Software Tolerance... (Open Source on Windows?!) At first blush, Codeplex.com appears to be a self-contained oxymoron of a web site because it is developed and maintained by Microsoft to support the open source software community - especially projects based on Microsoft's .NET platform. Indeed, such a web site should not exist, and definitely should not succeed (though it is...) After all, who would want to create an open source software project -- ostensibly founded on the notion that free idea exchange is of even greater value than a... |

From Oracle/SDE to PostgreSQL/Postgis in real life The case is that we have tables with GB's of data. This tables are updated regularly by different users and applications. Mapserver is used for WMS and is connected to Oracle. We can not change all the applications to use postgresSQL and we can not except all user's to switch from Oracle to postgresSQL overnight. One place to start would be to use mapserver against Postgis. To do this we only need to make a copy of the data from Oracle to PostgreSQL. The Oracle database will... |

MapQuery and SVG charts: a powerful interface for aggregated data Spatial data traditionally has been displayed using maps and tables. Maps, though good in showing the spatial extent, are not always optimal in showing (aggregated) geo-statistical data. The human mind can easily be tricked into believing that a bigger country has a bigger share of the pie. Tables show the individual records, but still lack the overview of aggregated data, also tables are notoriously hard to read. To view the information in an aggregated form one has to build complex... |
