"The Golden Age of Geospatial Data Science and Engineering" presented as the inital lecture in the Geospatial Data Science Distinguished Speaker Series at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Series organized and presented by Professor Shaowen Wang, Head of the Geography and Geographic Information Science Department.
"Data Science is in a golden age. The mathematical foundations of Data Science, known for many years, are now seeing broad applicability due to engineering advances in cloud and big data computing and due to the explosive availability of data about nearly every aspect of human activity coming from mobile devices, remote sensing and the Internet of Things. Nearly all of this data has components of location and time leading to stunning advances in geospatial data science. Development of intelligent systems using knowledge models leading to insights and understanding have the potential to significantly transform geospatial data sciences. To achieve the fullest extent of their potential, these innovations require establishment of open consensus standards. This talk will review recent developments in innovations, standards, and applications of geospatial data science and engineering."

The Internet of Cars - Towards the Future of the Connected CarJorgen Thelin
No doubt you have heard the phrase “Internet of Things” and the new buzzword “IoT” been used more and more these days, but what does that mean in practice? The Tesla Model S is probably the most well-connected car on the planet at the moment, and in this presentation we will use that vehicle as a case study of some practical usage of IoT concepts and technology that is already being applied to modern automobiles.How far away are we from a future “Internet of Cars” and what will be the social and privacy impacts of more connected-car scenarios?
Connected vehicles are coming soon to a road near you and according to U.S. Department of Transportation, these "talking cars" can have the potential to prevent 80% car crashes. But did you know that connected vehicles can also keep pedestrians safe too. Learn more at our session at SXSW 2017.

Ride Sharing, Congestion, and the Need for Real SharingJeffrey Funk
Current ride sharing services are not financially sustainable. Although they provide more convenience than do taxi services, they are experiencing massive losses because they have the same cost structure as do taxis and thus must compete through subsidies and lower wages. After all, they use the same vehicles, roads, and drivers, and only GPS algorithms and phones are new.
They also increase congestion. Just as more private vehicles or taxis on the road will increase congestion, more ride sharing vehicles also increase congestion.
These slides describe new ways to use the technologies of ride sharing to reduce congestion along with costs while at the same time keeping travel time low. This can be done through changing public transportation systems or allowing private companies to offer competing services. For instance, current bus services, whether they are private or public, need to use the algorithms, GPS, phones and other technologies of ride sharing to revise routes, schedules and the premises that currently underpin public transportation. There is no reason a bus should be certain size, stop every 200 meters, or follow the same route all day. Algorithms and phones enable new types of routes in which designers simultaneously minimize time travel and maximize number of passengers transported per vehicle.hour.

Analysis Ready Data workshop - OGC presentation George Percivall
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has activities relevant to the workshop scope of "the current state-of-the-art in satellite data interoperability”. This presentation will focus on two main topics with the option to discuss other relevant topics that the participants may wish to discuss, e.g., WFS3. The two focus areas of development: 1) Geospatial Datacubes and 2) Earth Observation Exploitation Platforms. 1) A Geospatial Datacube provides access to and analytics on analysis ready data (ARD) organized with coordinate axes of space and time with cells in the cube containing data of geospatial features, e.g., imagery. OGC members implementing geospatial datacubes are documenting common practices to spur development and leading to the possibility to federated geospatial datacubes. 2) OGC is forming a Earth Observation Exploitation Platform Domain Working Group with the goal of defining a standards-based framework for cloud-based access to and analysis of EO data. An ad-hoc meeting was held in March 2018 to scope the working group with the results issued in a request for comment: http://www.opengeospatial.org/pressroom/pressreleases/2792
This talk opened the geospatial track of the Apache Big Data conference. The geospatial track aimed to increase the benefits of implementing open source consistent with open geospatial standards.
After an introduction of the geospatial track this talk focused on these topics:
- Applications of Big Geo Data
- Geospatial Open Standards
- Big Geo Use Cases
- Open Source and Open Standards.
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)
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.
SDSC Technology Forum: Increasing the Impact of High Resolution Topography Da...OpenTopography Facility
High-resolution topography is a powerful tool for studying the Earth's surface, vegetation, and urban landscapes, with broad scientific, engineering, and educational-based applications. Over the past decade, there has been dramatic growth in the acquisition of these data for scientific, environmental, engineering and planning purposes. In the US, the U.S. Geological Society is undertaking the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) to map the entire lower 48 with lidar by 2023.
The richness of these topography datasets make them extremely valuable beyond the application that drove their acquisition and thus are of interest to a large and varied user community. A cyberinfrastructure platform that enables users to efficiently discover, access and process these massive volumes of data increases the impact of investments in collection of the data and catalyzes scientific discovery as well as informs critical decisions that are made across our Nation every day that depend on elevation data, ranging from immediate safety of life, property, and environment to long term planning for infrastructure projects.
Join us to hear about the motivations, technology, and data assets behind the National Science Foundation funded OpenTopography platform, which aims to democratize access to high resolution topographic data. OpenTopography’s innovation is in co-locating massive volumes of topographic data with processing tools that enable users with varied expertise and application domains to quickly and easily access and process data, to enable innovation and decision making.
All predictions are wrong; some are useful. This presentation offers a slate of "ripe issues" that were developed in discussion with the OGC Board of Directors and expanded in a blog series. The issues were developed by reviewing over 200 articles from geospatial industry publications as well as from information technology journals (IEEE, ACM, etc.).
These Ripe Issues of geospatial technology identify areas where further development of open standards can lead to great benefit. The OGC is an international consortium where members participate in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards.
The ripe issues of geospatial technology identified in March 2013 are:
• The Power of Location
• Internet of Things
• Mobile Development
• Indoor Frontier
• Cartographers of the future
• Big Processing of Geospatial Data
• Smart Cities Depend on Smart Location
• Policy implementation

Similar to Golden Age of Geospatial Data Science (20)
Defining Digital Earth as a virtual representation of all digital information with a geospatial component, this geography attempts to delineate the scope and elements of Digital Earth. The framework for this geography is a set of layers applicable to describing an information system. From bottom to top the layers are physical, data, information, knowledge, decisions and actions. Conclusions of this geography are that some technologies are sufficient for a Digital Earth to come into existence, but some technologies, in particular in the upper layers, need to be developed. Three conclusions are listed in this abstract.
In the physical and data layers, the explosive growth of Internet provides access to much Digital Earth data. However, the bandwidth necessary for high-end Digital Earth clients will not be widely deployed for some time. In the near term it will be necessary to have Digital Earth access points in public places like museums where high bandwidth is available.
Digital Earth information volume is estimated by assuming a fraction of all digital information that has a geospatial component. Estimates place the total volume of recorded information at several thousand petabytes, i.e., several exabytes. It has been regularly postulated in the geographic community that half or more of all information has a geospatial component. Even though we will soon have the capacity to digitally record this volume of information, most of of it will never be looked at by a human. Tools are needed for auto-summarization, distilling the information into knowledge with lower volume and higher semantic content.
To allow decisions and actions based on the knowledge of Digital Earth requires analysis of the knowledge using tools particular to the geospatial domain. As Digital Earth will exist in a distributed service environment based on standards for interoperability, the standards must address the particulars of geospatial semantics. Syntax standards for transporting semantic information (e.g., XML) have been defined and extended with geospatial structures. Standards for achieving shared understandings ("domain semantics") are yet to be developed. Beyond domain semantics, the validity of chaining services on geospatial features ("process semantics") is less developed.
Presentation Location and Context World, 2015. Palo Alto, CA November 3-4, 2015.
Abstract: Creating useful local context requires big data platforms and marketplaces. Contextual awareness is relevant to location based marketing, first responders, urban planners and many others. Location-aware mobile devices are revolutionizing how consumers and brands interact in the physical world. Situational awareness is a key element to efficiently handling any emergency response. In all cases, big data processing and high velocity streaming of location based data creates the richest contextual awareness. Data from many sources including IoT devices, sensor webs, surveillance and crowdsourcing are combined with semantically-rich urban and indoor data models. The resulting context information is delivered to and shared by mobile devices in connected and disconnected operations. Standards play a key role in establishing context platforms and marketplaces. Successful approaches will consolidate data from ubiquitous sensing technologies on a common space-time basis to enabled context-aware analysis of environmental and social dynamics.
Climate Data Sharing for Urban Resilience - OGC Testbed 11George Percivall
OGC Testbed 11:
Delivering on our commitment to the Climate Data Initiative
In December 2014 the US White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) released a Policy Fact Sheet titled "Harnessing Climate Data to Boost Ecosystem & Water Resilience." The Fact Sheet includes OGC’s commitment to increase open access to climate change information using open standards. Testbed 11 results are now available delivering on that commitment.
The results of this major interoperability testbed contribute to development and refinement of international standards that are critical for the communication and integration of geospatial information. http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/initiatives/testbed11
• Nine sponsors provided requirements and funding for Testbed 11.
• Thirty organizations participated in Testbed 11 by contributing prototypes, engineering
reports and participating in a scenario driven demonstration of the technical advances Technical results of Testbed 11 relevant to the Climate Data Initiative include:
• Analysis and prediction based on open climate data accessed using open standards
• Making predictive models more accessible with OGC Web Processing Service (WPS)
• Verifying model predictions using mobile operations, in-situ gauges and social media.
Climate adaptation, resilience and security planning based on technology from OGC Testbed 11:
• Estimating geographic extend of coastal inundation in dynamic weather conditions
• Assessing social unrest with displaced population due to climate change
• Integrating spatial and non-spatial models of human geography and resilience
• Predictive models and verifications to support planning and response phases
UAVs are a disruptive technology bringing new geographic data and information to many application domains. UASs are similar to other geographic imagery systems so existing frameworks are applicable. But the diversity of UAVs as platforms along with the diversity of available sensors are presenting challenges in the processing and creation of geospatial products. Efficient processing and dissemination of the data is achieved using software and systems that implement open standards. The challenges identified point to the need for use of existing standards and extending standards. Results from the use of the OGC Sensor Web Enablement set of standards are presented. Next steps in the progress of UAVs and UASs may follow the path of open data, open source and open standards.

CyberGIS Architectures for Collaborative Problem Solving - OGC perspectiveGeorge Percivall
1. What is CyberGIS:
- collaboration; open data, open source, open standards
2. The plumbing for CyberGIS collaboration is available:
- Processing, Workflow, Model interoperability as web services are “solved” several times;
- the concepts for collaboration need to be made explicit
3. Need for “decision” and “hypothesis” objects including modeling and linked data
- Ontology for decision types. Templates for Decisions and Hypothesis
- Recommender systems - a guess at the riddle
- If I see these conditions then consider this decision template
- If I am researching these conditions then consider this hypothesis
Geospatial Temporal Open Standards for Big Data from Space (BiDS2014)George Percivall
Presentation to ESA Big Data From Space (BiDS2014), November 2014.
Big data from space requires processing large amounts of data in a distributed environment. For efficient, quality and cost-effective deployment, these environments must be based on open standards. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) open standards for geospatial-temporal information have been tuned through implementations to meet the needs of big data.
Time, Change and Habits in Geospatial-Temporal Information StandardsGeorge Percivall
Keynote for HIC 2014 – 11th International Conference on Hydroinformatics, New York, USA August 17 – 21, 2014
Time, Change and Habits in Geospatial-Temporal Information Standards
Time and change are fundamental to our scientific understanding of the world. Standards for geospatial-temporal information exist but new needs outstrip current standards. Geospatial-temporal information includes capturing change in features and coverages and modeling the processes that inform change. Key standards for time, calendars, and temporal reference systems are in place. Time series modeling from the WaterML standard is a recent advance of high value to hydrology. The OGC Moving Features standard will establish an encoding format for changes in “rigid” features. Interoperability standards are needed for Coverages with values that change based on observations, analytical expressions, or simulations. Applying a coverage model to time-varying, fluid Earth systems was the topic of the ground breaking GALEON Interoperability Experiment. Standards developments for spatial-temporal process models is progressing with WPS, OpenMI and ESMF - supporting a Model Web concept. A robust framework for sharing geospatial-temporal information is now coming into place based on developments captured in standards by ISO, WMO, ITU, ICSU and OGC - including the newly established OGC Temporal domain working group. The new framework will enable capabilities in expressing and sharing scientific investigations including research on the emergence of forms over time. With these new capabilities we may come to understand Peirce’s observation that over time “all things have a tendency to take habits.”
Mobile World Congress 2014 was again a huge display of the power of location information. OGC standards for mobile applications are key to exploiting the value of geospatial information. OGC has several open standards that enable accurate and robust sharing of geospatial information in mobile environment.
Variations of this presentation were made at the OGC Workshop at MWC, at the OMA Demo Day and at the Small Cell Zone exhibit space.
Note the slide calling for a Smart Cities - Urban IoT Testbed concept that builds on OGC Interoperability Program capabilities.
TITLE: Open Standards Role in EarthCube (Invited)

ABSTRACT BODY: EarthCube is an NSF initiative that will enable sharing of data in an open and transparent manner, improving access and use of data, allowing scientists to better understand the Earth. EarthCube is based on a network of enthusiasts willing to make the sharing of data a reality. But is just having open data enough? Open data will not accelerate the process a scientist team needs to go through to understand, reformat and use the data. However, agreements among colleagues or adoption of agreements can make a big difference. These agreements also need to be published, freely available, and unpolluted from intellectual property rights issues. The system design requirements to develop cyberinfrastructure for Geosciences need to take into account these open agreements, including open interfaces and open encodings. Once open agreements are in place, it is essential to have in place policy and procedures, and a governance body for maintaining those agreements. This presentation will explore these issues and suggest ways the standard development organizations, like the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), and other coordinating organizations, such as the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) and the Research Data Alliance (RDA), could be involved in this process.

The Open Landscape of Geospatial Information: Open data, open source, open standards
Presented at ASPRS GeoTech 2013 conference: http://www.asprspotomac.org/geotech2013/
Abstract:
The many dimensions of "open" provides users with higher quality geospatial information. Open Standards ensures interoperability to information whether its served by proprietary or open source software. Open Source software benefits the development of open standards and leads to a business ecosystem that includes more providers, more partnerships and more customers.[1] In the end the user does not care if the code is open or proprietary. Users care about access to data and the quality of the data. Open Data has advanced with the recent policies from GEOSS Data-CORE [2] and the US Open Government Initiative [3]. Open Earth Observation data from government sources benefits industry and users. Open standards, Open source and Open data can result in higher quality information. The fusion of data from multiple sources results in higher quality. Fusion is possible based on multiple data sources that can be interrelated [4]. Improving Data Quality through knowing the uncertainty and the provenance of derived information is dependent upon an open landscape of geospatial information.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
