The EnviroGrids Geoportal is an open source, modular geoportal system that allows users to search, view, and share spatial and non-spatial data based on interoperability standards. It includes tools for data validation, discovery, access, visualization, sharing, and metadata management. The geoportal also connects to social networks to further enable sharing of spatial information among communities. It has a three-tiered user structure of guests, registered users, and administrators and utilizes uniform resource management and open standards to interconnect distributed sources of spatial data.
New tools are being developed by Czech Living Lab WirelessInfo, which allow users to easily publish their data and metadata as part of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). The paper describes the design of a Technological Infrastructure on the basis of ISO and OGC Standards and also the implementation of a prototype and first experiences. The solution is designed in distributed system form, which provides the connection to metadata about spatial data and services. This solution tests the principle of catalogue services at both national and international level which could be used in the UN SDI context. A catalogue portal is one of the independent components of GeoHosting complex system for raster and vector spatial data sharing. The catalogue portal provides data source searching on the basis of their metadata records through structure queries. The portal also contains edit functionality for new metadata records creating or editing. The metadata catalogue system corresponds to ISO 19115/19119/19139 standards [1], [2], [3], [4] and provides for cascade searching on the other standardized catalogue systems. The difference is, there exist different other initiatives offering publishing of own content like Google technology or OpenStreet Map, that GeoHosting is based fully on INSPIRE European standards and support establishing of network of distributed servers.

Data Mesh is the decentralized architecture where your units of architecture is a domain driven data set that is treated as a product owned by domains or teams that most intimately know that data either creating it or they are consuming it and re-sharing it and allocated specific roles that have the accountability and the responsibility to provide that data as a product abstracting away complexity into infrastructure layer a self-serve infrastructure layer so that create these products more much more easily.
Urm concept for sharing information inside of communitiesKarel Charvat
The paper describe concept for Sharing Information Inside Communities - Uniform Resource Management (URM), which support validation, discovery and access to heterogeneous information and knowledge. It is based on utilisation of metadata schemes. The URM models currently also integrate different tools, which support sharing of knowledge. The URM concept was introduced by NaturNet Redime project as tool for managing of educational context and now is modified for general sharing of information inside of community in c@r project. The concept is now partly implemented as part of Czech metadata portal, Czech portal for United Nation Spatial Data infrastructure and it is also tested in Latvia by BOCS

The arrival of the cloud computing constructs cloud storage outsourcing turns out to be a mounting drift, which encourages the protected isolated data inspection an burning subject that materialize in the investigation writing. Newly a quantity of investigation regard as the trouble of protected and proficient public data truthfulness inspection for shared active data. Though, these methods are still not protected against the consent of cloud storage space server and invalidated group users through user invalidation in realistic cloud storage space method. Thus here in this paper, we Identify the conspiracy assault in the obtainable method and offer an well-organized public truthfulness inspection method with protected group user invalidation based on vector assurance and verifier-local invalidation group signature. We propose a tangible plan based on the our method explanation. Our method chains the public examination and well-organized user revocation and also some nice properties, such as confidently, efficiency, countability and traceability of secure group user invalidation. Finally, the security and experimental analysis show that,compared with its appropriate methods our scheme is also safe and well-organized.
Precision Farming (PF) is introduced and history in short is reviewed. Essential activities of GPS locating, soil mapping, GIS dataprocessing and presentation and VRT application are described. Basic principles of PF are shown to be:
• Precision Farming is the management process of within-field variability.
• This management must bring profit or at least reduce the risk of loss
• This management must reduce the impact of farming on environment.
Techniques used in Precision Farming are described. Economics of Precision Farming is discussed. A general cost/benefit analysis and profitability of PF are reviewed. The price of PF adoption facing a farmer is discussed. Methods of process analysis and activity based costing are shown as useful instruments for PF process analysis and model building. PF process is analysed and process graph is developed.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Geoportal is a place which allows users to search, view, examine and share spatial and non-
spatial data. Geoportal is based on interoperability standards (OGC, W3C, OASIS, ISO)
which are connected to other resources on web and helps to create distributed structure of
information and knowledge based on spatial localisation. Geoportal should not be closed
central storage of spatial data without possibility of redistribution of this data. Geoportal
should not be a solution that doesn't support searching of data and information and their
viewing and using by external sources.
The Envirogrids Geoportal is based on principles of Geoportal4everybody and 4rh way to
SDI, which was presented by Czech Centre for Science and Society on INSPIRE conference
2010. This model was currently extended to offer possibility to build Social space for sharing
spatial data. Envirogrids Geoportal is a new, integrated solution being designed as
combination of previous technologies - Uniform Resource Management, Geohosting and
new technological development of a visualization client based on HSLayers and principles of
Social Networks. EnviroGrids Geoportal is not one integrated solution, but set of modules
and services, which are able to communicate through interoperable services (OGC, W3C).
The solution is modular and could be easy modifying for different purposes. EnviroGrids
Geoportal is based on Open Source technologies, but it could be integrated with different
technologies like MS SQL or ArcSDE. Uniform Resource Management (URM supports
validation, discovery and access to heterogeneous information and knowledge. It is based on
utilization of metadata schemas. The URM models currently also integrate different tools,
which support sharing of knowledge. Geoportal contains common visualization, data sharing,
metadata and catalogue functionalities. Additional parts of solution could be also tools for
management sensor observation and spatial data transformation and processing.
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. In order to effectively share information and knowledge, there has to
be a standardized schema, which will support uniform description of information and
knowledge including common vocabularies. A schema defines the meaning, characteristics,
and relationships of a set of properties, and this may include constraints on potential values
and the inheritance of properties from other schemas. The schema specification language is
a declarative representation language influenced by ideas from knowledge representation
(e.g. semantic nets, frames, predicate logic) as well as database schema specification
languages and graphic data models.
The Geoportal contains these parts:
• Authorization
• Simple Content Management System – Simple CMS
• Catalogue client
• Visualization client
• Metadata Editor
• Geohosting
o MapMan
2. o DataMan
• Geoserver
• Metadata Extractor
The applications are working relatively independently, main communication is done through
metadata system.
Geoportal also offer connection with existing Social Network like Facebook and Linkedin.
Envirogrids Geoportal could be also easy interconnected with other portals on the base of
interoperable standards
Geoportal
Geoportal has three basic levels of users:
• Guests
• Registered users
• Administrator
Guest functionality
Guest can access the information accessible through the Home page, which is prepared
using SimpleCMS and he can also discover information and services and view information,
which are publicly accessible through portal or interconnected portals. Detail information
about discovery and visualization is in parts focused on Catalogue and Map (HSLayers
client)
You can also login from the Guest menu (see part of authorization).
3. Registered users
Registered users can:
• Use all functionality of Guest users (they have access also to authorized context
additionally)
• Edit metadata using metadata editor (MiCKA = Metadata editor).
• Upload data on the server and manage databases (DataMan = Data Management as
part of Geohosting).
• Manage data using Geoserver
• Publish data and prepare data composition (MapMan = Map composer as part of
Geohosting).
• Publish non-spatial information (using Metadata extractor).
Detail information about all functionalities is in the next chapters.
Administrator
Administrator has the following functionality:
• All functionality of registered users
• Modifying of Home part of portal using SCMS tool
4. • Managing of users of portal
• Detail information about all functionality is in the next chapters.
Authorization
As was mentioned in the previous chapter, there are three basic levels of users:
• Guests – with possibility of discovery and visualization.
• Registered users - with possibility of discovery, visualization, data management and
data publishing.
• Administrator - with possibility of discovery, visualization, data management and data
publishing, modification of home page and user management functionality.
There is also possibility to make mix of privileges because they are set for every application
separately. Users can be put into groups and then given permissions to this group.
Users have to push login button on the top-right side to login.
5. After this Login page will be opened.
You have to fulfill User Name and Password and press the login button.
For Logout use the button on the top-right side.
External communication and social networks
The URM concept also allow to access any information stored on one portal with other
portals using URM principles.
6. What we would like also promote is to shift from the pyramid paradigm, which is often
mentioned in the relation to building of Global SDI to paradigm of spider net. With our
concept we prefer system of distributed data sources, where every provider could decide
about accessibility of his data against concept of cloud computing, where one organisation is
managing all information. The idea is not against outsourcing of data or services or using of
external services, but to have control about data from the side of data holders. For
implementation of this concept, we suggest ideas of Geoportal4everybody. The principle of
URM allows to build "spidernet" SISE infrastructure supporting interconnection of any two
portals and effective exchange of information
The focus of the Geoportal4everybody project is on social network sites (e.g Facebook,
Twitter) as one of the main dissemination and communication tool.
7. The Geoportal4everybody will be an entry point for any news (new developments,
problematic topics, progress in the project, etc.). News will be posted by the project partners
and will be automatically distributed to a number of selected communities – social network
sites.
This approach will allow involving other communities from one place without having to enter
each community. Users of various social network sites can read entries and comment
through their respective communities and don’t have to register elsewhere.
Geoportal4everybody is in principle also social network offering sharing of information
(including spatial] among community. Principle sharing of information among portal also offer
support for exchange information among communities
The Geoportal4everybody is an entry point for any news (new developments, problematic
topics, progress in the project, etc.). News will be posted by the project partners and will be
automatically distributed to a number of selected communities – social network sites.
Feedback from these social network sites will be retrieved using RSS and answered again
from the central point. This approach will allow involving other communities from one place
without having to enter each community. Users of various social network sites can read
entries and comment through their respective communities and don’t have to register
elsewhere.
GeoPortal4everybody also support utilisation of information from other social networks like
SlideShare or YouTube
Other functionality is combining text with interactive maps.
