New main account, formerly virelai@octodon.social

Time for re- #introduction.
I'm Laura, currently 37 years old. #Environmental #scientist by trade, working with #geodata currently.
I'm into different kinds of crafts & #fiberarts, mostly #knitting and #sewing. I like #boardgames and some computer games & some #rpg, like #shadowrun or #falloutrpg

My languages are ​, ​ & ​, this account will mostly be English though, folllow @virelai@ruhr.social for German.

To all #FOSS supporting people traveling these days: Please consider collecting wireless geolocation information for the #publicdomain #geolocation database #beaconDB.

Check the map via the link above to see how it is filling up with more and more points. Amazing and very interesting to see.

Also note the differences per continent.

#Foursquare is "open-sourcing" their database of over 100 million POIs worldwide.

I didn't see them talking about the license anywhere though. But this is probably a pretty interesting dataset to play with.

Gathering some #nlp #geodata with #neostumbler!

This will allow everyone (on #GrapheneOS or using @beacondb #BeaconDB with #UnifiedNLP) to have geolocation without #GPS!

Fast, energy efficient and nearly anonymous geolocation! Know where you or your devices are, without draining battery and relying on sattelites!

Have geolocation in undergrounds/subways!

This is HUGE!

#duckdb has a new release with exiting features for #geospatial data:

The latest report (in German) on the costs and impacts of #OpenGovernmentData from the Federal Office of Topography #swisstopo is a validation and critique of advocating for data as a public good.

For governments this paper should be a nice check on expectations and outcomes, for example for Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology #MeteoSwiss - who from 1 April 2025 plans to make its data available for free reuse.

Tomorrow I am travelling to Crete to attend the #ESWC2024. Sunday, during the #GeoLD workshop, I will be presenting the #GloSIS web ontology. Also in the #GeoLD I am co-authoring a position paper making the case for a #SemanticWeb standard for #CoordinateSystems.

Volgende week vrijdag 24 mei is de #opendata en #geodata partnerdag van de Vlaamse overheid. Ik zal er aan het begin spreken over de evolutie van open data in de context van de nieuwe Europese datawetgeving en de vorming van de data spaces, aka de Europese eenheidsmarkt voor data. https://www.vlaanderen.be/digitaal-vlaanderen/agenda/evenementen/partnerdagen/partnerdag-geo-en-open-data

Tot 13 mei zijn alle reacties welkom op internetconsultaties voor Geo-standaarden. Experts adviseren om generatiewissel naar OGC-API standaarden te gaan verplichten aan de overheid.

En experts adviseren om GeoPackage in de nieuwe versie te blijven verplichten. We zijn benieuwd naar jouw mening : https://www.forumstandaardisatie.nl/nieuws/geo-standaarden-de-aandacht-geef-uw-mening
