NextGEOSS is a H2020 project that aims to create an open data hub and cloud platform for Earth observation data. It involves 27 partners from 13 countries with a budget of 10 million euros from 2016-2020. The project will develop advanced data discovery tools, enable user feedback, and enhance communities through tailored solutions. It will follow an open, inclusive, and agile development approach aligned with EU open data policies. Various pilot projects will use the data and platform for applications in agriculture, biodiversity, disaster risk reduction, and other areas. The data will come from Copernicus satellites, in situ sources, and other open data providers. Metadata will be harvested and standardized. Lessons learned so far include the need for scalable architectures

Building Climate Resilience: Translating Climate Data into Risk Assessments Safe Software
Climate change affects us all. It is an urgent issue that requires practical solutions to mitigate its impacts. Data is at the center of understanding this challenge. In this informative webinar, we will explore how data can be leveraged to translate climate change projections into tangible hazard and risk assessments at the local level.
The webinar will cover a range of topics: including flood, fire, heat, drought, population health, and critical infrastructure, among others. We will also highlight our partner and customer experiences in this field and present key results from our participation in recent OGC pilots on Climate Resilience and Disaster Response. We will also be joined by special guests sharing their experience in the AgriTech sector, where gathering metrics and data from sensors is helping to reduce the demand from farming on precious resources like water for irrigation.
Through live demos, attendees will gain practical knowledge in accessing climate services from USGS & Environment Canada and how to convert climate model NetCDF outputs into more GIS-friendly formats like geodatabase & GeoJSON.
Finally, we will address the significant gaps and challenges that remain in assessing climate-related hazards and risks, and explore how FME can play a critical role in addressing these gaps. Join us for this important discussion on how you can use FME to build resilience and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Traditionelles Tourismusgeschäft mit nur mit Flug- und Hotel-Buchungen wird immer schwieriger. Touristen wollen an den Destinations mehr Angebote haben: Wandern, Radtouren, Sport, Sehenswürdigkeiten, Ausflüge, kulturelle Highlights (z.B. Jakobsweg, Lutherweg, Gotik, Ex-Bergbaugebiete). Dafür ist es notwendig, dass die Kommunen und Betreiber ihre Daten als Open Data zur Verfügung stellen, damit Intermediäre sie in ihr Destination-Marketing einbauen können. Dazu werden pragmatische Beispiele gezeigt

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

13. Experiences - Lessons learned
● Faster discovery from a bunch of sources and easier access by a single point of access
● Due to large number of datasets harvesters have to be designed carefully to catch up the load
● IT-architecture has to be scalable
● End-2-End tests (sources - datahub - application in the cloud) bring quality assurance to the
parts
● Not many sources offer standard based metadata -> connectors have to be programmed
individually
● Metadata are not standardized enough: spelling, language, meaning
Quality issues
● Traditional metadata like Dublin Core, DCAT, GeoDCAT or ISO are not enough
Some communities need special metadata (Essential Biodiversity Variables, Climate, Ocean,
…)
● Licenses: public domain (German: gemeinfrei) is free of rights. No license possible. But
administrations are creative in finding licences (>100) for open data
Sources therefore have often licences not mentioned: too complicate
