It introduces several organizations involved in geospatial standards development, including ISO, OGC, and IHO. Several key SDGs and indicators that have direct geospatial aspects are highlighted. Existing standards that can help measure related indicators are referenced. Standards still under development that could help, such as DGGS and an updated LADM, are also discussed. Best practice examples of using geospatial data and standards to measure SDG indicators are presented. The document aims to identify how standards can help measure SDGs and indicators, discuss relevant existing and in-development standards, and provide examples of best practices.
The document summarizes a partnership between the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and buildingSMART International to advance geospatial and building information modeling (BIM) standards through pilot projects. It describes a planned "Future City Pilot" project to test interoperability between OGC and BIM standards like CityGML and IFC. The pilot will involve 3D city modeling scenarios around issues like model validation, integrating sensor data, and modeling flood risks to demonstrate how open standards can support smart cities.
2017 Geospatial World Forum - Geo and StatisticsPLACE
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international standards organization established in 1994 with over 500 member organizations from 50+ countries. The OGC has developed over 60 standards for geospatial and location data and works with 30+ partnerships across government, commercial, research, and academic sectors. While collaboration can be challenging due to differences in language, culture, processes, the OGC has had success working with organizations like the WMO, W3C, and UN on interoperability standards and spatial data standards to help address issues like those demonstrated by John Snow's 1854 cholera map. The OGC seeks to drive further innovation through additional standards development and collaboration.
This document discusses the Open Geospatial Consortium's (OGC) work on standards to support geospatial data and the Internet of Things (IoT). It provides an overview of OGC standards like Sensor Observation Service and Sensor Planning Service. It also describes OGC pilots and programs involving smart cities, underground mapping, and the US Department of Homeland Security. The document encourages involvement in OGC to help develop open standards that drive location technology innovation.
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city, is growing rapidly but lacks access to basic services for most of its residents who live in informal settlements. Mapping projects like Ramani Huria are helping map the city's infrastructure like roads, buildings, and drainage systems using open source tools to provide data and improve services for the approximately 3.5 million residents. Open Geospatial Consortium is interested in how participatory mapping projects can inform revisions to land administration standards and help make maps produced in these projects eligible for official government use.
How to Interpret Trends in the Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart.pdfChart Kalyan

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
