Expert Group Meeting – Spatial Data

Geodata are used in various industries and academic fields and often have to meet specific requirements in order to be used, for example in terms of geometry, recording time point or semantics. But often different geodata sets have similar geometric properties but different semantics or are captured at different times – or vice versa. The basic concept of data fusion is the extraction of the best-fit geometry data as well as the most suitable semantic data and acquisition times from existing datasets. The extracted data features are then fused into a new data set, ideally adding synergistic value. In this expert group meeting, different examples of data fusion will be presented, and possible further application options will be discussed.

The host of this meeting is the UZH Space Hub and the Swiss National Point of Contact for Satellite Images (NPOC), represented by Dr. Claudia Röösli. The meeting will be held at the Irchel campus of the University of Zurich.

Spatial Data Analytics at the
#wetechtogether conference, 02.10.2021

By Nicolas Lenz, Litix Applied Data Science

Spatial Data was a workshop topic at the #wetechtogether conference which took place on October 2. The data innovation alliance, its member Litix and WiMLDS Zurich sponsored and organized two workshops entitled “Jump into Geodata”. The participants learned how to access Swiss geoservices with Python and how to use them for the presentation and analysis of geodata. We would like to thank the participants for their attendance and the lively discussions in the workshops. We hope that this will lead to new innovative geospatial projects in the future!

Innovative ideas around geodata are indeed welcome, since Spatial Data Analytics is one of four focus topics in the Databooster initiative. Project ideas related to geospatial data have increased chances of receiving Databooster support!

Being part of the #wetechtogether conference was a great experience for data innovation alliance and Litix. We support the main goal of the conference to empower people to bring more diversity into tech. We are already looking forward to the 2022 edition!

SDS Workshop – The Untapped Potential of Open Geodata

The world is becoming increasingly data-driven. But if there are restrictions on the access and use of data, data-driven business and governance is strongly limited. In this content, open data has its own unique place. It can help with global challenges such as climate change adaptation or famine, it can give companies a competitive advantage, and it can streamline processes and systems that society and governments have built. Moreover, open data can empower citizens and thus strengthen democracy. In short, it can help to change the way we understand and interact with the world. There are many types of open data, but due to the geographic element geodata deserves special attention, both in terms of quantity and quality. In this workshop the importance of open geodata is discussed and success stories of projects based on open geodata are presented. Platforms and initiatives related to open geodata as well as funding opportunities will be presented and discussed.

Lessons to be learned

  • Get to know data portals for open geodata
  • Overview of the application potential of open geodata
  • Terms of use for open geodata (Open Government Data and others).
  • Insights into the Open Government Data Strategy.
  • Insights on how to crowdsource open data.

Target Audience (beginner level to intermediate level)
Data Managers, Data Engineers, Data Analysts, Statisticians. Academics and everyone who is interested in the topic of data science.

To participate in the workshop please register using the SDS2021 website.
