2015 FOSS4G Track: Open Specifications for the Storage, Transport and Process...GIS in the Rockies
This talk presents an overview of some of the most important Open Specifications (OS) for the storage, transport and processing of geospatial data and why they matter for the development of the next generation of geospatial systems and data infrastructures. What is the importance of being Open? What is the relationship of OS and geospatial software (both FOSS4G and private/proprietary software)? A Web-based system architecture based on OS and FOSS4G will be presented.

You’ve heard some buzz about Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) technology. You’re intrigued to know more, but hesitant because it seems a bit overwhelming. What is a newbie to do – how do you even know where to start? Taking the first step can be very intimidating, especially if you don’t feel “qualified”, e.g. no programming experience. We’ve been there! This session will present a collection of perspectives and experiences from non-techie newbies who are going through the process of learning FOSS4G software from scratch. We’ll cover common questions and doubts about how to get started, obstacles to avoid, and strategies and helpful resources to help you succeed.

This talk presents an overview of FOSS4G and the issues and characteristics that makes it a mature alternative in the geo-technologies arena. The following questions will be addressed: What is FOSS4G? What is its history and current state of the art? Why you should consider it as an alternative to private/proprietary software options? What are the common concerns regarding the use of FOSS4G? Are they true? What mature FOSS4G is available for every geo-technology niche (Desktop GIS; Remote Sensing, etc..)? Is there a conflict between private/proprietary geospatial software and FOSS4G?

U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Technological Operations Center is building a suite of vector web-editing (VWE) applications for data collection and maintenance of The National Map (TNM) data. Initially built with a proprietary geospatial software architecture, VWE has integrated FOSS4G into the software architecture, including Leaflet, Esri-Leaflet, and GeoServer. Instead of entirely replacing proprietary geospatial software, VWE has adopted a hybrid architecture, mixing open and proprietary software products. This hybrid approach allows VWE to leverage the strengths of each software product for specific requirements and business rules in the different VWE applications and work within pre-existing TNM data management processes and workflows.

Communicating patterns in large spatiotemporal datasets can be a challenging and complicated task. While a variety of tools are available to visualize these data on the desktop, web technologies offer a unique opportunity to create interfaces that allow users to interactively explore complex multivariate datasets. In this presentation we outline a process for building spatiotemporal visualizations on the web. From data processing through architecture and development we describe technologies and languages you should know to get off the ground and walk through other important considerations in developing intuitive data exploration interfaces.

Field Data Collecting, Processing and Sharing: Using web Service TechnologiesNiroshan Sanjaya
Collecting, Distributing and Analyzing field data is a crucial part in any geospatial study. Field data collection tools and methods have been developed significantly due to the advancement of technologies such as Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS) and development of smartphones. Accurate field data collection is also a necessary task for broad spatial data analysis and proper decision making. Development of Web technologies led to share the data and information effectively. This study tries to develop a framework based on the Geospatial Semantic Web technologies for disseminating and processing field data. Experimental results from an implemented prototype show that the proposed framework allows to visualize and process the field data in any context. The system of this study is capable of distributing and processing field data using web application. Moreover, the study demonstrates the importance and the capabilities of web services for spatial data gathering and processing. The system has been developed based on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) packages such as ZOO-Project, Open Data Kit, etc. It enables user to further improve or deploy the system for variety of studies.
A short introduction to the term "Openness" as it is used by three different organizations in the geospatial domain, the OGC, OSGeo and OSM - plus an outlook where we should be going.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
