Mobile devices are rapidly becoming the preferred platform for geospatial technology access and use. Mobile technology and market forces are shaping the mobile internet, of which mobile GIS is a component. A convergence of mobile technology, bandwidth, sensors, real time data access, standards, and user demand is creating a rich environment for forward thinking in geospatial standards development. In response, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has a number of standards activities focused on the requirements of the mobile geospatial/GIS community. This presentation will provide an overview of the most recent standards work in the OGC related to the mobile internet. This work includes development of ARML (Augmented Reality Markup Language), InDoorGML (model and encoding for semantically rich indoor/building content), Open GeoSMS (location enabled SMS), and the Sensor Web for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Regional destruction project for eca lvc countries UNEP OzonAction
This document discusses a proposed regional ODS destruction project for low-volume consuming countries in Europe and Central Asia. It notes that some eligible countries have small stockpiles of unwanted ODS totaling a few tonnes that need proper disposal. The project would first prepare an inventory of stockpiles and develop a strategy for collecting, transporting, and destroying the substances. It would also identify potential partners and destruction facilities. The next steps outlined are confirming country interest, developing a project preparation proposal, and seeking input from stakeholders on best practices.
New paradigms for highly efficient urban water services asia water week jak...Dr. Riant Nugroho
The document proposes new paradigms for improving urban water services in Indonesia through more efficient and innovative approaches. It discusses two key ideas:
1) A "1% for 7C Global Movement" where 1% of water company sales in Europe would be transferred to developing countries to help achieve Millennium Development Goals. This establishes public-public partnerships between water companies.
2) Developing "community water enterprises" and "community-based independent sanitation systems" to provide water and sanitation services in low-income dense urban areas not served by conventional means. These would be locally managed and owned by communities to help fund infrastructure and create local financial systems.
This document summarizes the Java Community Process (JCP) 2014 state of the union and progress report. It discusses the growth in JCP membership in 2014 with over 30 new corporate members. It outlines the JSRs completed in Java EE 7 and Java SE 8. It describes efforts to reform and broaden participation in the JCP through a series of JSRs (JCP.next). This includes making the JCP more open and transparent (JSR 348), merging the two executive committees (JSR 355), modifying the legal framework (JSR 358), and broadening membership (JSR 364). It promotes getting involved through the Adopt-a-JSR program where JUGs work on JSRs.
2015 FOSS4G Track: Determining Optimal Post Spacing for Lidar DEM Creation Us...GIS in the Rockies
A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) has bare-earth z-values at regularly spaced intervals in the horizontal directions. Although DEMs all contain a constant grid resolution, the grid spacing, datum, coordinate systems, data formats, and other characteristics may vary widely (Heidemann, 2012). This interval, known as point spacing or grid resolution, becomes pixel size in raster data representations. There is no consistent, clear methodology to determine optimal post spacing from the nominal point spacing (NPS) of raw lidar data. Literature consensus seems to be that the DEM point spacing size (grid resolution) should be at least equal if not greater than the NPS. This presentation reports on methods used to help determine post spacing primarily using open source software. Raw lidar point clouds over the Great Smoky Mountains and Grand Canyon National Parks were used to test DEM spacing scenarios gleaned from literature. Ground points were filtered using LP360. Approximately 5% of these were reclassified to act as control points and create a shapefile(using open source lasthin and las2shp). DEMs were created from the ~95% remaining points using Global Mapper. Then the DEM and shapefile z-values were used to calculate RMSE. The results show a general relationship of RMSE to the optimal post spacing scalar and RMSE to DEM post size follow generally a power law curve. Ongoing analysis continues. We believe this analytical approach can shed light on the NPS/ DEM problem by empirically deriving a recommended scalar from various published techniques and two different study areas.
The document discusses the process of creating a terrain model and delineating floodplains from LiDAR data using ArcGIS and HEC-GeoRAS/HEC-RAS software. Key steps include building a terrain from LiDAR point clouds, breaklines and other feature classes, converting the terrain to a raster, using HEC-GeoRAS to generate cross-section geometry from the raster for hydraulic modeling in HEC-RAS, and mapping floodplains back in GIS from HEC-RAS results. Issues like missing LiDAR data or incorrect elevations may require additional field surveying.

Presentation to for the ISPRS Congress 2012, Melbourne
Over the last decade, standards have played a key role in the expansion of the market for Earth Observation (EO) products and services. Standards become increasingly important as geospatial technologies and markets continue to evolve in an increasingly complex technology ecosystem. OGC and ISPRS work jointly to further the development of this vital information industry.
We continue to see global growth in the supply of geometrically controlled image-based geodata. On the data supplier side, most end-use EO information products use data from multiple EO sources (aerial and satellite) as well as from ground-based sources. On the customer side, customers’ business models involving EO data require easy connections between multiple data suppliers and multiple technology platforms. Typically, new markets create stovepiped, proprietary solutions that persist until market forces create demand for standards that in turn enhance market opportunity. The OGC’s standards meet this demand in the geospatial markets.
OGC leads worldwide in the creation and establishment of standards that allow geospatial content and services to be seamlessly integrated into business and civic processes, the spatial web and enterprise computing. OGC accelerates market assimilation of interoperability research through collaborative consortium processes.
OGC has both domain focused and technology focused activities. For example, the Meteorology & Oceanography Domain Working Group ensures that OGC standards and profiles allow the meteorological community to develop effective interoperability for web services and content across the wider geospatial domain. These needs are met for example by the technology of standards such as netCDF which was brought into the OGC to encourage broader international use and greater interoperability among clients and servers interchanging data in binary form.
Most OGC standards specify open interfaces or encodings that apply to imagery. Some of these are:
o Web Coverage Service (WCS)
o Web Coverage Processing Service (WCPS)
o Web Map Service (WMS)
o Geography Markup Language (GML)
o GML in JPEG 2000 Encoding
o OGC Network Common Data Form (NetCDF)
o Sensor Observation Service (SOS)
o Sensor Planning Service (SPS)
o Sensor Model Language Encoding Standard (SensorML).
o Catalogue Service for the WEB (CSW)
The presentation discusses the power of location data and services for mobile applications. It highlights opportunities for innovating mobile standards through the Open Geospatial Consortium's (OGC) standards and testbeds. These include standards for augmented reality, indoor navigation, sensor networks, and an urban Internet of Things testbed to enable interoperability across smart city initiatives.
2017 Geospatial standards for the sustainable development goalsPLACE
This document discusses geospatial standards for supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It introduces several organizations involved in geospatial standards development, including ISO, OGC, and IHO. Several key SDGs and indicators that have direct geospatial aspects are highlighted. Existing standards that can help measure related indicators are referenced. Standards still under development that could help, such as DGGS and an updated LADM, are also discussed. Best practice examples of using geospatial data and standards to measure SDG indicators are presented. The document aims to identify how standards can help measure SDGs and indicators, discuss relevant existing and in-development standards, and provide examples of best practices.
Raj Singh talks about the history of OGC standards such as Sensor Web Enablement Suite -- Sensor Planning Service, Sensor Observation Service, SensorML, Observation & Measurements -- and its IoT companion -- SWEforIoT, and how the geospatial industry is uniquely positioned to take leadership in the emerging Internet of Things space.

GISCO Fall 2018: Bike Network Equity: A GIS and Qualitative Analysis of Ameri...GIS in the Rockies
The equitable distribution of bike paths ensuring safe cycling are inconsistently planned and evaluated. For residents to fully utilize bikes, it is essential that bike networks equitably serve all urban populations. In the absence of impartial evaluation, the construction of biking infrastructure may continue to perpetuate cycles of disadvantage. By measuring the spatial equity of six urban biking networks using GIS (San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison, Boulder and College Station) and interviewing transportation planners, we demonstrate that equity can play a role in planning. We provide spatial and qualitative analyses revealing varying relationships between urban transport planning and the relative equity of bike networks in major cities.
GISCO Fall 2018: Colorado 811: Changes and Challenges – Brian CollisonGIS in the Rockies
On May 25, Governor Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 18-167 into law. This bill included the creation of the Underground Damage Prevention Safety Commission, effective August 8, 2018. The ratification of this law has started transitioning tier two members of the Utility Notification Center of Colorado, or Colorado 811, into tier one members. Safety and accuracy are some of the most challenging issues damage prevention professionals face. While the law will improve communication between all parties involved once it’s implemented, damage prevention work will drastically change over the next two years of transition. Join Brian Collison as he gives an overview of the changes, how tier two members can ease their transition to tier one and how this will affect anyone who works within right of ways in the state of Colorado.

In the absence of impartial evaluation, the construction of biking infrastructure may continue to perpetuate cycles of disadvantage. By measuring the spatial equity of six urban biking networks using GIS (San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison, Boulder and College Station) and interviewing transportation planners, we demonstrate that equity can play a role in planning. We provide spatial and qualitative analyses revealing varying relationships between urban transport planning and the relative equity of bike networks in major cities.
GISCO Fall 2018: Colorado 811: Changes and Challenges – Brian CollisonGIS in the Rockies
On May 25, Governor Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 18-167 into law. This bill included the creation of the Underground Damage Prevention Safety Commission, effective August 8, 2018. The ratification of this law has started transitioning tier two members of the Utility Notification Center of Colorado, or Colorado 811, into tier one members. Safety and accuracy are some of the most challenging issues damage prevention professionals face. While the law will improve communication between all parties involved once it’s implemented, damage prevention work will drastically change over the next two years of transition. Join Brian Collison as he gives an overview of the changes, how tier two members can ease their transition to tier one and how this will affect anyone who works within right of ways in the state of Colorado.

2018 GIS in the Rockies Vendor Showcase (Th): The Data Driven GovernmentGIS in the Rockies
Today, GIS is not just software. It’s data. It’s people. It’s getting to the answer. Quicker. Data is expanding. More users demand access to information but don’t consume the information in the same way as a GIS professional would. But as curators and managers of geospatial information, GIS professionals are looking to support the entire organizational needs not just those in GIS Departments. The chief information officer is acutely aware of how much geospatial data is being collected; now, how do city and state governments leverage these data for smarter, more effective government services. Here are five pillars of the data-driven government to consider:
1. Extensibility: Whatever the choice, the platform must be customizable for users beyond the GIS department. Knowledge workers need access to geospatial technology too.
2. Usability: GIS is a complex tool. However, today’s desktop platform must be adaptable to many types of workflows.
3. Flexibility: The next generation of geospatial solutions must be ready to support the desktop, cloud, SaaS as well as mobile platforms. GIS must adapt to the user’s preferred IT environment…not the other way around.
4. Compatibility: GIS must work in mixed environments of open source and commercial software and ingest data from myriad sources.
5. Expandability: Can your GIS environment work in the world of big data? Smart cities depend on ingesting sensor data produced at high rates that require geoprocessing on a scale not thought possible until recently.

2018 GIS in Development: Partnerships Lead to Additional Recreational Content...GIS in the Rockies
In 2010, the USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP) began producing the new US Topo map series. The first maps were relatively simple, but quality and content have continually improved. Recreational features, especially trails, are among the most often requested features, but have been difficult to add due to lack of national datasets. Some trails in National Forests were added in 2014. In 2015 the USGS partnered with the International Mountain Biking Association (REI-Adventure Projects) to include trails outside of Federal lands. A pilot project with the National Park Service in 2016 added trails, visitor centers, trailheads, and campgrounds to US Topo maps covering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 2018 US Topo maps include trails, trailheads, campgrounds, picnic areas, visitor centers, and other recreation information on selected Federal lands, using data provided by the relevant agencies. Continuing into the future, the USGS is working on partnerships with states and other organizations including The National Map Corps to expand recreational features to non-Federal lands. All such data will be in the public domain and published in The National Map geospatial databases.
2018 GIS in Recreation: Adding Value to Colorado the Beautiful Initiative carrGIS in the Rockies
The main point of this abstract is increasing the value of the current Colorado the Beautiful Initiative through additional data points gathered by mapping the trail systems with the use of unmanned aerial systems and 3rd party software to build the additional data points to be included in the current mapped environment.
I have used Unmanned Aerial Systems and 3rd Party Mapping Software Companies (DroneDeploy, Precision Hawk, Pix4D, and DroneMapper) to build sample data to support my work
I have been able to create sample maps, photos, video of certain trail sections to show how additional data sets can be included to increase the value of the initiative for both the public and government sectors
With the data I have collected, I can discuss several points of interest with the conference. I can show how the data can be utilized to benefit the public sector: Safety, knowledge, and planning and the government sector: trail maintenance, anticipating future problems- heavy traffic areas or lost hikers, plant health - fire danger and erosion, and intersection of multiple agency and private land area issues.
The City of Manitou Springs is planning a creek walk along Fountain Creek, an aspirational goal for over two decades. The question is: how to unite a diverse set of stakeholders with competing interests to agree on a preferred route, that incorporates their values and priorities? The answer was to use geodesign.
Geodesign is a powerful participatory planning method that uses stakeholder input and geospatial analytics to show the possible impact of design scenarios. It gets its strength in two ways: 1) from the diversity of participants—proving the adage that two heads are indeed better than one—and 2) from the power of spatial analytics, which allow the visualization of the world both as it is, and as it could be.
The presentation will focus on how geodesign methods where used to define stakeholder groups, clarify values, and prioritize criteria to help decision makers evaluate planning scenarios. Esri ArcGIS Pro was utilized to develop models—such as bikeability, walkability, ADA compliance, and more—that were used to both visualize and evaluate the impacts of each route segment. The spatial analysis resulted in an innovative solution that addressed both the concerns of both government and public stakeholders.
Attendees of this session will learn how to use geodesign as a systems approach for informed decision-making. More importantly, they will learn how to use spatial technology to guide conversations among diverse stakeholders to come up with plans that people understand and are happy with.
