Presentation Transcript

  1. GeoProMT • Purpose of today’s meeting • Present some research ideas • Identify people willing to make a commitment to the project • Development could be part of your MS thesis or project

  2. Christoph’s Idea • Christoph is involved with the Open Geospatial Consortium • An organization that develops and maintains data models, and communications standards for geospatial information and services • An idea is to integrate OGC standards into Geopromt. • Enhance the standing of geopromt as a management tool by adhering to standards • Focus on a current weak point of geopromt: metadata

  3. Research Questions • What metadata provided by OGC services is relevant for the GeoProMT? • How can relevant metadata and OGC services be stored in GeoProMT? • How can the relevant metadata and OGC services be presented to the user in GeoProMT and be utilized to support the user in searching for data objects or transformation resources?

  4. How to proceed? • review the OGC standards and see which ones are provide metadata specifications relevant to geopromt • How can this specification be used to describe geopromt objects?

  5. Requirements and Outcome • XML and Web Services • PHP, HTML/CSS/Javascriptand MySQL • Basic knowledge of OGC standards is an advantage, but not necessarily required • Outcome is an improved support for metadata in geopromt resulting in a more robust project management tool • Possibility for a paper.

  6. Ryan’s Idea • Integration of ArcGIS and GeoProMT • Geopromt does not currently depend on any GIS or other software to manage a project • By design • Many people use ArcGIS though. • It would be an enhancement to the usability of geopromt to have a toolbar in ArcGIS that allows direct interaction with GeoProMT

  7. Arc-GeoProMT • Toolbar allows upload and download of files, fills in object attributes automatically. • Allows for the creation and manipulation of transformers directly within ArcGIS • Interface to manage transformers in a more ArcGIS oriented way • Transformer holds information on the name of the tool, the input dataset names and parameters used • Automatically (or manually within Arc) link objects with transformers.

  8. Arc-GeoProMT • Populate metadata automatically • Extract from files directly • Could be part of a MS thesis or project • Skills: • ArcGIS • Programming ability in a language supported by ArcGIS • C++, .NET, Python

  9. Other development • Give code some polish. • Improve GeoProMT usability • Fix bugs • Integration with vHub • May not be enough for a project/thesis • Gain experience with coding
