This document discusses the transition from traditional desktop computing to virtual and cloud-based computing. It notes that computing has changed from something owned that sat on a desk, to virtual resources that can be accessed from anywhere. This has implications for how things like data storage, processing power and ownership will work going forward. Examples are given of early cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services that allowed for on-demand access to computing resources and new business models like Uber and Airbnb that leverage the internet to connect providers and users in new ways at scale.

Urbanopoly: Collection and Quality Assessment of Geo-spatial Linked Data via ...
This document describes Urbanopoly, a game that collects and verifies geo-spatial data through human computation. The game challenges players to complete missions that validate existing data or contribute new data. Player contributions are assigned confidence scores and aggregated to consolidate statements using majority voting. Validated data and provenance information are published as linked open data. An evaluation found the game enjoyable with good throughput of collected data, though consolidation rate could be improved. Surveys also provided positive feedback on usability and social aspects.

Smart City Semantics: Data Analytics and Human Computation to understand the Living Land Use. Presentation at the "Comitato Italo-Svizzero per la Geoinformatica"
Towards a Semantic City Service Ecosystem
Presentation at the 5th Workshop on Semantics for Smarter Cities @ ISWC 2014
We introduce the concept of City Service Ecosystem (CSE) as digital environment for the governance of urban services. We trace the research challenges and opportunities of adding semantics to improve the management of such ecosystems, especially in relation to description, publication and retrieval of urban-related Web services. We explain the peculiarities and distinct characteristics of CSEs resulting from their relation to the city space.
ConnectingTheDots Series - Distribute information, retain IPR
There are countless ways to structure data- it isn't just a matter of efficiency, choosing the right one depends on your purpose.
This infographic contains a summary of the key motivations and potential uses of a concept that I started using online since the 1990s to support my activities in cultural/organizational change and the use of computers to support decision making.
If interested, a textual description (and a SQLite3 database definition along with associated DDL) are available on https://robertolofaro.com/BookSite.
Three key benefits (and many additional more):
1. ability to deliver turn-key consulting activities built
around structured assessment and brainstorming phases
2. ability to continuously transparently refine models
and data collections, instead requiring data migration projects
3. the datamodel and taxonomy plus associated
processes, representing the investment in IPR, weren’t disclosed
Yes, Agile, SCRUM, and DevOps today might be more formal, but conceptually in some domains "waterfall" never was the best option, as it was the use of the results of a first round of digitalization of processes.
Along with this infographic, more details are available within a YouTube video with the same title (link: https://youtu.be/Sr92v-9xoEM) that you can watch on https://robertolofaro.com/ctr-channel.
In July 2019 a new volume of the ConnectingTheDots series.

This document summarizes the first full-length film produced entirely on desktop computers. The film, called Planetary Traveler, is a 40-minute sci-fi film set to music. It was created using the 3D graphics program Bryce and coordination over AOL chat rooms by a team of artists in different states. While on a smaller budget than typical films, the desktop production allowed for collaboration over long distances at a lower cost than traditional filmmaking methods. The techniques used show that desktop filmmaking is now possible instead of just being hypothetical for the future.

800 recetas thermomix
This document contains 193 recipes for desserts that can be made using a Thermomix appliance. The recipes are numbered and include items like flan, mousse, cookies, cakes, tarts, ice cream, custards, and other sweet treats. The document provides the title and instructions for each recipe in the list.
Quality data
The document discusses Verigy's manufacturing and testing process for printed circuit boards and systems. It identifies issues with their current process such as manual data entry, separate databases for pass/fail and parametric test data, and a quality information system with limited analytics capabilities. The SigmaQuest solution aims to address these issues by automatically collecting and integrating test and repair data to provide improved traceability, visualization of test flows, and failure analysis across the product lifecycle.
TFTN Strategic Plan
This document proposes a strategic plan to develop comprehensive, publicly available nationwide transportation data sets called Transportation for the Nation (TFTN). The initial focus is producing a high quality road centerline data set for all roads. The approach involves states producing accurate road data, the US Census aggregating statewide data into a national dataset, and distribution through public and private partnerships. The goal is to better coordinate existing efforts to create transportation data and make more efficient use of resources to meet widespread demand.
Product Costing Software
The document discusses product costing and issues with existing product costing processes. It then summarizes the features of a software that aims to address these issues, including bill of materials management, simulations of cost impacts, gap analysis between customer and actual bills of materials, change management and versioning of bills of materials, and integration with SAP systems. The software promises to help companies save costs, improve auditing of costs, and gain insights from business intelligence reports and simulations.
gis project planning and management
This document outlines the planning process for a GIS analysis project to identify suitable sites for a new wastewater treatment plant. It discusses why many GIS projects fail, the types and phases of GIS projects. It then details the steps involved in a GIS analysis project including: defining the objective, creating the project database by identifying and preparing data, analyzing the data using spatial modeling functions, and presenting the results. For the wastewater treatment plant project, the analysis will identify parcels that meet criteria like being in a low-lying area near water and not residential, and the results will be shown on a presentation map.
GIS in Construction
Srinivasa N presented a term project on developing a spatial data model for infrastructure construction and management at Purdue University. The data model incorporates infrastructure components as entities with polygonal, linear and point features to track attributes like IDs, dates and descriptions. The relationships between entities are represented in an ER diagram exported from the developed data model. The data model aims to help manage maintenance needs and track maintenance progress over time to support various infrastructure and construction projects on campus.
GIS Based Project Planning and Management
This document describes a GIS-based project management system called ProGIS. It allows users to track multiple construction or infrastructure projects on an interactive map. Project managers can view tasks, timelines, images and reports for each project location without traveling to sites. Data from on-site mobile devices is synced to the backend server and displayed on maps. The system was designed with flexibility, security, and support for remote access in mind. It uses open-source LAMP stack technologies and integrates mapping capabilities from GeoServer. Screenshots demonstrate the web and mobile interfaces.
Gis Project Proposal
The client has requested a map showing the legal boundaries of their property in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. This will involve snapping together existing plat maps, interpreting the legal description, and conducting field work to GPS coordinate the property lines and attributes. Additional data layers will need to be incorporated to determine if any portions of the land contain a private bridge, wetlands, or a water channel. The final map is intended solely for the client's personal use.
Institutional GIS
There has never been a civilization that did not produce and use maps. Maps are a powerful way to represent and simplify complex environmental and geographic information. While maps have traditionally been used by leaders and explorers, modern GIS technology has made mapping accessible to a wider audience and has political and institutional impacts through how information is produced, delivered, and controls organizational power structures. The Nakorn Ratchasima GIS project in Thailand developed an open, standard, extensible, and multi-purpose GIS system for the municipality using off-the-shelf software and an intranet to provide tax collection, city planning, and other services to citizens.
Tim willoughby - Presentation to Open Ireland
Tim Willoughby explains the benefits of open government and open data. He advocates for making government data openly available in standardized, machine-readable formats and developing applications that leverage open data. While open data faces challenges including loss of control and fear of the unknown, its benefits include more informed decisions, higher quality data, and new business opportunities through opening up data.
Todd Landry’s Presentation at eComm 2009
The document discusses the evolution of communications technology in businesses from switch-centric closed systems focused on devices to more open, software-centric, and web-based systems integrated with other business applications and workflows. It also talks about how Sphere, a small software company, was acquired by NEC and the need to modernize communications platforms to make them a more integral part of business operations and value.
Future of GIS, Moving to the Enterprise Platform
The document discusses how utilities are moving towards enterprise GIS platforms to better integrate and analyze spatial and asset data across their organizations. It provides examples of how Memphis Light Gas & Water and Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation leveraged ArcGIS Online and mobile data collection to improve their asset management and field operations by exposing new types of data to field crews and collecting additional information. The key is for utilities to focus on exposing new data sources, collecting data from the field, and empowering operations through spatial analysis, systems integration and workflows.
What IT Professionals Should Know About Getting Started With & Supporting GIS
This document discusses considerations for IT professionals getting started with and supporting GIS. It notes that GIS has evolved from specialized back office systems to being fully integrated into IT and used across industries. Key aspects to consider include identifying priority users and needs, assessing staffing requirements, ensuring sufficient computing and network resources, and developing a comprehensive plan and budget to support GIS as part of the overall IT strategy. The document emphasizes that successful GIS implementation requires support from both GIS and IT professionals.
2013 Geospatial Data and Project Management Track, Building Better Data: The ...
Our technological reliance on data has increased exponentially over the last decade. As the amount of data society generates grows, so does our reliance on the quality of the data we use. All too often projects are hampered by the effects of bad data sets. Why is the accuracy of data so important? Is there a threshold for data accuracy? How do we collect or generate accurate data? With the myriad of applications that take advantage of the data we collect what is an acceptable amount of error? As the era of “Big Data” is booming we should ensure it has the best spatial data foundation for it to be built upon. A look at collection and management strategies within the utilities field.
LinkedGov: RDF HTTP XML URI REST GOV OMG
The document discusses linking open government data on the web using semantic technologies. It describes the LinkedGov project, which aims to clean, link, and publish UK government data in a unified, machine-readable format. The goal is to make the data more usable for various purposes like powering mobile applications. Examples are given of how location, timetable, and other transit data could be semantically linked to provide real-time transit information to users.
GIS and Asset Management Moving to the Future :
This document outlines a 40-year roadmap for the evolution of asset management and GIS systems through 5 generations:
1) Traditional asset management with paper records and basic work orders.
2) Second generation implemented pavement management systems and began capturing asset data in GIS for condition assessment and capital planning.
3) Third generation required more complex systems to measure performance, set service levels, and incorporate different asset types like parks.
4) Fourth generation is driven by web 2.0 technologies, allowing data to be accessed and shared over the internet in real-time from anywhere.
5) Fifth generation engages the public through social media for things like emergency alerts, feedback, and potentially capturing asset

DAMA Big Data & The Cloud 2012-01-19
This document summarizes a presentation given by Robert J. Abate on "Big Data" and "The Cloud". The presentation covered background and definitions of big data, challenges posed by big data, architectural solutions for big data, and case studies. It discussed how data is growing exponentially in volume, velocity, and variety, posing challenges for insight and complexity. Organizations need to reduce latency and gain real-time insights from more of their structured, unstructured, and device-generated data across the enterprise.
David Overton: GIS in the cloud
This document discusses the rise of cloud-based GIS and how it is disrupting the traditional on-premise GIS market. It outlines how cloud GIS removes the burden of data management and IT costs for organizations, instead providing GIS capabilities over the internet in a flexible usage-based model. The document promotes MapMarvel as a startup providing simple and cost-effective cloud GIS tools and highlights opportunities for early adopters and alpha testers.
Bringing enterprise sensibilities to Google Maps
Computer-based mapping was largely a curiosity and very difficult to
do prior to the release of Google Maps in 2005. Since then, a cottage
industry around consumer mapping has appeared and has produced over
150,000 publicly available maps.
Real Property Management at DND using FME
This document discusses how the Department of National Defence (DND) uses FME software to manage its real property information. DND has distributed real property data from various sources that needs to be fused together to understand assets. FME is currently used for data translation and migrating legacy data to geodatabases. Future plans include using FME for CAD to GIS migration, building information modeling support, and enforcing data standards by transferring data between levels into a central warehouse. Examples demonstrated include converting CAD files to geodatabases and building information files to CSV and 3D PDF formats.

Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011
This document discusses open data and open government. It notes that open government aims to increase transparency so citizens know what government is and is not doing correctly. It then discusses how technology like cloud computing and open data initiatives could help modernize government and make it more transparent, efficient and responsive to citizen needs and wants. However, governments often find it difficult to experiment with new technologies. The document advocates for the release of more open government data using open standards to fuel innovation, engage citizens and strengthen trust in government institutions.
Geo-Enabling Retail and Property
Geo-Enabling Retail and Property (with emergent location solutions)
Steven Eglinton, GeoEnable
First presented at The SLA Forum 2013
In this presentation I will examine how Location Analytics, as a technology solution and a term, is very rapidly becoming a mainstream concept in IT and GIS.
With examples, what one thought of as specialised tools, such as GIS, are now being ‘democratised’ and embedded in easy-to-use business processes and workflows.
With examples of how this could benefit the property and retail sector, I will examine the main and most important trends in, ‘Geospatial’ and Location Analytics that affect anyone involved in spatial analysis or GIS. These trends really are ‘game changers’ compared with the last 35 years of GIS and Location Technologies and need to be understood to leverage the potential benefits.
1. Cloud GIS – off-premise hosted mapping and location analytics tools. This can dramatically reduce costs and complexity of implementation.
2. ‘Big Data’ – analysing and visualising vast quantities of near real-time data
Location Analytics – the use of, what would have been called GIS technologies, embedded in systems for NON-specialist users.
3. Dynamic (Real-time) Mapping

GIS in the Rockies Presentation
- 1. GIS for the ‘have-nots’: A case study in a small Colorado ‘Mayberry’
- 2. GIS for small municipalities: A big problem 138 “Mayberrys” in the state of Colorado with populations of 1500 or less Characteristics of these towns: “One Bullet” GIS: too costly to start much less maintain: ESRI small government EULA most likely out of reach for these towns High cost of data collection and maintenance Staffing and O&M Cost of data/data collection “If we have one bullet…we spend it on public works”
- 3. The impacts Emergency response Public Works City Administration Reliance on hard copy data (parcels, lots, etc…) This stuff changes or worse -disappears! Hard to update No basis from which to plan and share information for disaster/event response The Hayman Fire: A view from Mayberry Significant Snow Events Mayberry has the same GIS needs as Denver – but right sized
- 4. Requirements So what would a GIS for Mayberry look like? Low/No O&M burden on the town Requires no staffing Minimal training curve Low/No Cost for data Provides ability to share information And…provides a core GIS capability to town staff for day to day business If I just had access to a good web based GIS, with no training or O&M – I could fish more… A simple, straight forward architecture that I can get to on a browser
- 5. Mayberry: Green Mountain Falls, CO Located West of Colorado Springs on Hwy 24 Surrounded by Pike National Forest Population 966 Government One full time Clerk One full time Public Works Coordinator 2.6 Police (Marshall) Volunteer Fire Dept IT infrastructure 4 PCs with cable internet Standard office install with IE Expertise…you guess. Trivia: Most Bigfoot sightings in Colorado have occurred within 5 mi of GMF
- 6. GIS for Green Mountain Falls: The Approach We identified the problem Mayberry needs a GIS We opted for a web-centric solution and common tools Common tools minimize the training curve We enlisted help (lots of help) We hosted it externally Removes local O&M and staffing needs Provides for failover External Host
- 7. Help! Boy Scouts of America Trail network mapping El Paso/Teller 911 Road Center Line and Address data Trimble Navigation GPS training and equipment GeoCommons The GeoIQ platform that provides a fully virtual means of storing spatial data, creating and serving maps and providing means to customize analysis, access and dissemination of spatial data Zekiah Technologies Software Development collaboration between FortiusOne and Zekiah
- 8. The approach Beg, borrow, (I would not Steal) data Make use of data from town plan E/T 911 CDOW CDOT GeoCommons SW ReGAP Collect Upload to GeoCommmons Apply appropriate role based access rules Build maps based on user rules Customize interface for GMF Share
- 9. Architecture
- 10. What we wound up with…(demo)
- 11. It worked for Green Mountain Falls but… The Mayberrys of the nation are underserved in the GIS market How to make it work for your Mayberry in the meantime: Keep it simple -use a web approach Build your coalition Academia, Business, Individuals NGOs Be willing to borrow, be willing to share data and technology Maximize use of free data Maximize relationships with NGOs and other not for profits to obtain and collect data Partnerships Scouts Trail Coalitions Academia Open street map and other mapping parties Not every town has an aggressive trustee
