SDI-EDU for regional and urban planning

Here you can see presetnation, how to use NaturNet portal. This video explain basic features of NaturNet portal. Due the fact, that SDI-EDu is using the some technology, this introduction could be interesting also for our Community.

What are metadata and what are dicovery services?

The architecture and tools for planners are decribed.

Lecture decribe, how to use SDI EDU and Plan4all portal for creating new INSPIRE (Plan4all) complient metadata records.

Do you have alrrady your metadata?  Would you like to test, if they are INSPIRE (Plan4all) complient?

Plan4all develops conceptual data models for seven selected themes from AnnexeII and III of the INSPIRE Directive. The themes are land cover, land use, utility and government services, production and industrial facilities, agriculture and aquaculture facilities,  area management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting units, and natural risk zones. The data models refer to the INSPIRE documents „Generic Conceptual  Model (GCM)“ and „Methodology for the development of data  specifications“ which set basic rules for the development of data models.

 Spatial planning acts between all levels of government so planners face important challenges in the development of territorial frameworks and concepts every day.All tasks and processes must be solved comprehensively with input from various source.It is necessary to make inputs interoperable because it allows the user to search data from different sources, view them, download them and use them with help of geoinformationtechnologies.

This presentation describes role of communities in INSPIRE implementation

Plan4all Geoportal is some type of reference portal for Spatial Planning. Here you can find some short introduction to this portal. SDI EDU is currently based on the some principles.

Dear colleagues,

the forthcoming GI2011-X-border-SDI/GDI-Symposium (  "11. Sächsisches GIS-Forum"  ) will be in year 2011 a real Cross-border event, to be held 23./24.05.2011 in "Bohemia&Saxonia Switzerland",  the National Park Zentrum of Euroregion "Elbe/Labe" (EEL) on both sides of the border between Bad Schandau (SAX) and Decin (CZE).

The aim of  Plnan4all WP3 was to define the European metadata profile for spatial planning, which will cover the requirements given by national legislation and the INSPIRE Directive. The work includes:

• to analyse the requirements on spatial planning metadata given by national legislation.
• to define the European metadata profile (platform neutral) for spatial planning.

We invite you to submit a paper/abstract to The 9th International Conference
on Education and Information Systems, Technologies and Applications: EISTA
2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/eista), to be held in Orlando, Florida,
USA, on July 19th - July 22nd, 2011

The submissions deadline for this 2nd CFP December 8th, 2010 (Check the web
site for possible extensions or new set of deadlines)

We are pleased to announce that ICELW 2011, the Fourth Annual International Conference on E-Learning in the Workplace,  will be held from June 8-10, 2011 at Columbia University in New York. The Call for Proposals is now open; the deadline for submissions is December 15th, 2010.  To submit a proposal, please use the submission form found at www.icelw.org

All articles published on the SDI EDU geoportal can be searched by catalogue (MIcKA) that is implemented as part of the geoportal solution.

Uniform Resource Management (URM) provides a framework in which communities can share information and knowledge through their description, which is easy understandable inside of the community. “A social network consists of a finite set or sets of actors and the relation or relations defined on them. The presence of relational information is a critical and defining feature of a social network.” [Wasserman, 1994]. As already stated, examples of web 2.0 applications include blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS feeds, tagging, social network sites (e.g. Facebook, Myspace), search engines, Massive Multiplayer Online and others. This article describe, how concept of UR is connected with social networks

Geohosting is a complex system composed of single components-applications. These components are integrated into one fully functional system. This complex system enables easy creation and publication of new map compositions. It enables you to work not only with your own geographic data but also through web services with external geographic data. The number of available online data sources is still increasing. The advantage is that original data stay at the level where they are collected and maintained. Therefore there is no duplication of data. Up-to-date source data guarantee up-to-date map compositions.

Here is described how to modify menu on portal.

There are two main items, which can hold content: article and message.

Article

Content holders that that are holding the data we want to publish. As regular articles they are composed from the perex and the content itself. Using nice WYSIWYG editor provides nice user experience to beginners and support for full inline html can please any person wanting to do more fine grained look of desired article. Editor allows inserting various multimedia content user can think of, videos, photos, etc.

Message

Each menu can be accompanied by the message item, which in reality is simplified article that contains just one view on short text.that does not implement detailed view so it could be described as „perex“ only. Since the message/s are always on top over the articles they can be best used as the menu description. Also here is used the some WISIWIG editor, with full functionality like

Short introduction, how to translate educational materials on portal.

14^th International Convention and Fair Informática 2011

Dear colleagues:
From February 7^th to 11^th, 2011, Havana will host the 14th edition of the Convention and International Fair Informática 2011 that will take place in the Havana´s Palacio de las Convenciones and the PABEXPO Fairgrounds.

“Convergent Technologies: integration and independence”, is the central theme of our Informatics meeting in Havana. We invite you to a scientific-technological discussion, as well as to the presentation of projects and initiatives on the main subjects summoned in each one of the events taking part of the Convention and the Fair.

This week was launched this microsite about our project – Humboldt forest scenario. We hope that it will contribute towards better awarness about this project.
