The document discusses how web technologies like XML, SVG, and SMIL can be used to make maps and geospatial information more accessible to people with disabilities. It explains that these technologies allow for content to be represented in multiple equivalent forms so that users can access information in the format that works best for them. The goal is to combine advances in interactive maps and geospatial data with accessibility principles to provide alternatives for people who have visual, mobility, or cognitive impairments. Standardizing metadata for geospatial objects would help ensure equivalent alternative representations can be discovered and transformed to meet different accessibility needs.

Conversational AI could use phonetic algorithms to provide university information to services like Alexa in multiple formats.
e-Infrastructure Integration-with gCube
The document summarizes key aspects of the gCube architecture and its approaches to enabling interoperability across heterogeneous resources and communities. gCube aims to hide heterogeneity by providing unified access to diverse resources, and embrace heterogeneity by supporting multiple protocols and models. It utilizes various approaches like blackboard communication, wrappers, and adapters to achieve interoperability for resource discovery, content access, data discovery, process execution, and security. Applications like AquaMaps and time series management are also discussed.
Advanced Traveler's Information System
The document describes an Advanced Traveler's Information System (ATIS) that finds the shortest path and estimated time for travel between locations in Delhi, India. It uses Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate the optimal route given time and road constraints. The system displays the route on a map, and allows the user to save, print, and view details about the path. It includes a basic web browser for navigation. Future improvements could integrate real-time traffic and transportation data to provide more dynamic routing options.
Geohosting
New tools are being developed by Czech Living Lab WirelessInfo, which allow users to easily publish their data and metadata as part of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). The paper describes the design of a Technological Infrastructure on the basis of ISO and OGC Standards and also the implementation of a prototype and first experiences. The solution is designed in distributed system form, which provides the connection to metadata about spatial data and services. This solution tests the principle of catalogue services at both national and international level which could be used in the UN SDI context. A catalogue portal is one of the independent components of GeoHosting complex system for raster and vector spatial data sharing. The catalogue portal provides data source searching on the basis of their metadata records through structure queries. The portal also contains edit functionality for new metadata records creating or editing. The metadata catalogue system corresponds to ISO 19115/19119/19139 standards [1], [2], [3], [4] and provides for cascade searching on the other standardized catalogue systems. The difference is, there exist different other initiatives offering publishing of own content like Google technology or OpenStreet Map, that GeoHosting is based fully on INSPIRE European standards and support establishing of network of distributed servers.
Building a Standards Based Collaborative GIS
This document discusses building a standards-based collaborative GIS system. It defines different types of collaboration (synchronous/asynchronous, same place/different place). It advocates using open standards like WMS, WFS, SLD and XIMA to allow sharing of maps, annotations, and styles between distributed users and across different software. Finally, it outlines requirements for synchronous and asynchronous collaboration systems and proposes some technical architectures like client-server or peer-to-peer models using open-source GIS tools and protocols.
Distributed mixed reality for diving and
Taking advantage of state of the art underwater vehicles and current networking capabilities, the visionary
double objective of this work is to “open to people connected to the Internet, an access to ocean depths
anytime, anywhere.” Today, these people can just perceive the changing surface of the sea from the shores,
but ignore almost everything on what is hidden. If they could explore seabed and become knowledgeable,
they would get involved in finding alternative solutions for our vital terrestrial problems – pollution,
climate changes, destruction of biodiversity and exhaustion of Earth resources. The second objective is to
assist professionals of underwater world in performing their tasks by augmenting the perception of the
scene and offering automated actions such as wildlife monitoring and counting. The introduction of Mixed
Reality and Internet in aquatic activities constitutes a technological breakthrough when compared with the
status of existing related technologies. Through Internet, anyone, anywhere, at any moment will be
naturally able to dive in real-time using a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) in the most remarkable sites
around the world. The heart of this work is focused on Mixed Reality. The main challenge is to reach real
time display of digital video stream to web users, by mixing 3D entities (objects or pre-processed
underwater terrain surfaces), with 2D videos of live images collected in real time by a teleoperated ROV.

Integrating GIS utility data in the UK
The VISTA project aimed to integrate utility data from various UK organizations to improve coordination and reduce costs of street works. It developed methods for syntactically and semantically integrating heterogeneous utility data through a common data model and global thesaurus. Visualization techniques were also explored that incorporated uncertainty and were driven by an ontology. While the project proved the concept, further work is needed to develop the ontology and address implementation challenges regarding data currency, security, and impact on organizational systems.
OpenLayers for Drupal: The 10,000 Foot View
OpenLayers is an open-source, highly-customizable, pluggable solution for adding street maps and GIS capabilities to any website using a well-documented JavaScript library and open standards for map data interchange with all the big players listed above (as well as some not so big, but highly specialized ones).

Making Inter-operability Visible
The document discusses interoperability of metadata across government departments and proposes aggregation, rationalization, and harmonization (ARH) as a process to improve it. Key points from the ARH process include identifying differences in element names, values, and granularity across departments' metadata and working to standardize these through choosing appropriate formats and definitions. The results could include a single metadata application profile and technologies like registries and repositories to preserve local control while enabling discovery across departments.
Introduction to the Semantic Web
The document discusses the Semantic Web and its potential uses and applications. It provides definitions of key concepts like the Semantic Web, RDF, and ontologies. It also gives examples of how semantic annotations could make metadata and content more operational and accessible. Additional layers of semantic information could provide meanings, relationships, and links to make information more understandable and useful to machines and people.
Converging research towards AccessForAll
The document discusses research into enabling customized accessibility for users by combining personal needs and preferences profiles (PNPs) with digital resource description metadata. PNPs describe a user's display, control, and content needs, while digital resource descriptions indicate how resources can be adapted across different modalities. Together, PNPs and resource descriptions allow for automatic, personalized accessibility adaptation of online content to individual user needs.
Making working thesauri
The document discusses three case studies related to making organizational taxonomies and resources more interoperable:
1) Integrating metadata across three Victorian government departments by aggregating, rationalizing, and harmonizing their schemas.
2) Repatriating cultural resources from the Quinkan people by using Dublin Core metadata with local extensions to provide a single access point for internal and external users.
3) The AccessForAll project, which uses metadata to match educational resources to individual learner needs and preferences to ensure equal accessibility. Standards are discussed as a way to balance local specificity and global interoperability.
Workshop
The document discusses the Fluid Project, which aims to develop a flexible user interface framework and component library to improve the user experience and accessibility of open source education applications like Sakai, uPortal, Moodle, and Kuali Student. The project will involve usability evaluations, development of reusable UI components focused on key areas of improvement, and creation of a framework to support flexible and customizable interfaces while maintaining accessibility. Initial work will focus on a "lightbox" component to improve image organization and reordering in Sakai. The goal is to foster collaboration across projects and communities to incrementally enhance the user experience.
Accessibility Issues
The document discusses accessibility issues and proposes new definitions and approaches. It notes that inaccessibility is not about disabilities but a mismatch between user needs and content. It proposes universal user-centered accessibility where resources are tested based on how they meet user needs and preferences, with users having control over choices. Metadata would describe content in terms of meeting needs and priorities are given to user choice and inclusivity. Tools that validate and evaluate accessibility based on guidelines producing metadata could help make authoring and content more accessible.
Accessibility Issues
The document discusses accessibility issues and efforts to improve accessibility of online content. It defines accessibility, describes typical accessibility problems people face, and covers support and guidelines from organizations like the W3C. Technologies discussed that can improve accessibility include XML, CSS, SVG, and MathML. Author support and tools for validation and evaluation of accessibility are also mentioned. The document advocates describing content in terms of user needs and preferences to avoid issues around disabilities and legal liability.
