CSW

From Raj Singh:
The document I'll call CSW is available here:
OpenGIS© Catalogue Service Implementation Specification 2.0.2
available here: <http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/cat>
or direct link: <http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?
artifact_id=20555>
I'm going to explain how a *subset* of CSW fulfills the desires of
this group, IMHO. Now this document begins with a very abstract
description of how to build a catalog. Lost in here, is a very useful
specification of a basic catalog in Chapter 10.
The key portions of this chapter are:
* 1. an information model, <csw:Record>, that uses key Dublin Core terms (mapping shown in attached graphic, or in Table 53 on page 119 of the document). There's an example of a <csw:Record> here: < http://schemas.opengis.net/csw/2.0.2/examples/ Clause_10.2.5.3.2_Example03_Full.xml >
 
* 2. a small addition to DC to get a bounding box in there. I quote, 
 "The full record is based on the XML schemas developed for the Dublin
 Core MetaInitiative with the addition of the csw:AnyText and
 ows:BoundingBox elements" (page 119).
* 3. a query mechanism -- CQL. CQL is a SQL-like language whose utility hasn't been seen because it is so poorly documented and described. Here are some good links:
 http://zing.z3950.org/cql/intro.html
 http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/01+CQL+Examples
There's a *lot* of other stuff in CSW, but I think some "dclite" that used these 3 things -- or even dropped 3 in favor of an OpenSearch, template-based search mechanism -- would gain momentum in our community.

Calendario de trabajo

Volver al índice
 ¡Este calendario está aún por completar y no ha sido en absoluto adoptado como definitivo!
 Las fechas son una primera propuesta my estimativa, así que si crees que deben modificarse
 por alguna razón, no dudes en editarlo.
=== Fases y fechas límite ===
# Difusión y formación de equipo de trabajo (Mayo de 2007). No quiere decir que después no pueda unirse nadie, por supuesto. 
# Creación del esquema de contenidos. (Septiembre de 2007) Se desarrollará un índice de materias y cada autor se apuntará a los bloques donde crea que tiene algo que aportar, para tener así una mejor visión de quién colabora y dónde lo hace. Podemos aprovechar esta parte también para redactar documentos adicionales como plantillas, manuales de estilo, un código para la inclusión imágenes y tablas, etc. también se puede empezar a escribir sobre el wiki de cada una de las secciones, rellenando la base de cada capítulo o simplemente dividiendo cada uno en las secciones pertinentes y densificando el índice hasta el nivel más detallado posible.
# Asignación de capítulos. (Octubre de 2007) Entre los voluntarios a colaborar en cada sección, se elegirá uno o varios responsables de la misma. La forma de hacerlo está por definir aún. también deberíamos elegir uno o varios editores globales.
# Redacción del primer borrador.(Marzo de 2008). El primer borrador debe tener cerca del 60% del contenido definitivo explicado, aunque aún sin pulir. Como una versión beta... Con este borrador se puede hacer una primera lectura cruzada (como un beta testing...) interna, es decir, que lo lean con detalle uno o dos de los responsables y colaboradores de otros capítulos.
# ¿Reunión de autores? En algún momento estaría bien sobre estas fechas buscar un congreso, reunión o sarao geográfico para reunirnos y tener una charla todos juntos.
# Correcciones y sugerencias sobre el primer borrador (Mayo 2008)
# Redacción de la primera versión candidata (Septiembre 2008). Una versión aún no definitiva pero ya con todo el contenido que aparecerá en la versión final. Se puede llevar a revisores externos. Si para esta fecha la obra va tomando forma y es prometedora, no creo que cueste encontrar gente 'de fuera' que nos ayude a revisar el contenido y la forma de los capítulos.
# Revisión por parte de revisores externos (Noviembre de 2008)
# Primera versión definitiva (Enero - Febrero de 2009)
A partir de este punto estaría bien hacer revisiones de lenguaje, de gráficos, formato, etc...pero esta parte está muy lejana y dependerá de cómo avance el proceso de redacción, así que por el momento no es necesario detallarla con tanta precisión.

Calgary IG

return to Alberta Chapter
----
This page containes information on the activities of the Calgary FOSGIS interest group (IG) / Local Chapter.
== Goals ==
== Meetings ==
=== Meeting April 2010 ===
The mindmap on the right summarizes what we talked about on the meeting, i.e.:
* finding objectives of the group (i.e. forming a mission statement)
* define what we don't want
* discuss further meetings
=== Meeting June 2010 ===
# First Stefan Steiniger talked for about an hour on state of FOS desktop GIS. This talk was actually his OGRS 2009 conference talk. 
#* A copy of those slides is available here
# Then we discussed how we continue with the groups objectives. We looked for instance on the Mission Statements of the OSGeo Chapters of BC, Quebec and Ontario (see the http://wiki.osgeo.org). We agreed here that we keep working on a mission statement - but will probably wait 2-3 more meetings until we figured what each of us does and is interested in. However we already identified three main points of interest:
#* Alberta geodata
#* free GIS tools in Oil & Gas & Energy
#* GIS software n general
# We also agreed that it may be useful to setup a member list. Stefan created a new wiki page for that, see OSGeo Alberta Members
=== Meeting July 2010 ===
This meeting we had two talks: 
* a demo/talk on Autodesk's MapGuide Open Source by Trevor Wekel (OTX Systems)
* a talk about HEAT, a web mapping site to identify Hot-Spots on your house, by Chris Kyle (CDK Digital Knowledge & Univ. of Calgary)
Finally we had a discussion on free local data: see here the emails (1 and 2) by Brent Fraser sent the other day.
== Resources / Projects ==
* Canadian and Alberta GeoData
* a web page that provides an overview on Free and Open Source Desktop GIS - including articles
* Articles on Free GIS Software

Bio: Landon Blake works as a licensed land surveyor for a small civil engineering and land surveying company in California's Central Valley. He has been interested in GIS since his first exposure to it during the Land Surveying Program at Flathead Valley Community College. He was able to learn the basic concepts of GIS as part of the classes shared between the Land Surveying and Forestry programs at Flathead Valley Community College. His interest in GIS was renewed when he discovered JUMP, anopen source GIS program written in Java by a Canadian company called Vivid Solutions. He decided to teach himself Java so he could improve and customize the program. He later became one of the administrators for OpenJUMP, a fork of the original JUMP that with a more "open" and cooperative development process, and has been working with OpenJUMP ever since. Landon's participation in the OSGeo includes contributing articles to the OSGeo Jorunal, assisting the OSGeo Education Committee, and work with the deegree Project and GeoTools, which are both GeoTools projects.

Bio Alex Mandel is a Phd Student in Geography with a BS in Wildlife Biology. He's worked for and with non-profits, state and federal agencies on desktop, web and handheld GIS. He's also familiar with making the move from Windows to Linux and interoperability between proprietary and open source. Current research involves simplifying open source gis tools for neo-geographers.
