Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Bürgerbegehren, Kommunalinteressen und wirtschaftlichen Verwertungsreizen fordert das unabhängige Landeszentrum für Datenschutz in Schleswig-Holstein (ULD) eine differenzierte Regelung für Geodaten, nach der die Daten ähnlich einer Ampel klassifiziert werden. Grün steht dann für den freien Zugang, Gelb für einen allgemeinen Zugang, bei dem "schutzwürdige Betroffeneninteressen" berücksichtigt werden müssen. Orange oder Rotgelb steht für einen eingeschränkten Zugang nur bei berechtigtem Interesse, während Rot das strikte Zugangsverbot symbolisiert. Das geht aus einer Studie zum Datenschutz von Geodaten (PDF-Datei) hervor, die heute auf der Intergeo 2008 in Bremen vorgestellt wurde. Die Fachmesse für Geoinformationen und Landmanagement wurde heute eröffnet.
Die Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) in Hannover hat am heutigen Freitag ihre Daten für die erste geologische Weltkarte im Internet bereitgestellt. Unter dem Namen "One Geology" soll sich künftig jeder online wichtige Informationen zu Risiken wie Hangrutschen oder Überflutungen sowie Detailkarten einzelner Länder anschauen können.
"Geologie kennt keine politischen Grenzen – also wurde es Zeit für eine solche weltumspannende digitale geologische Karte", erklärt Kristine Asch von der BGR die Hintergründe des Projekts. Auch seien geologische Daten Schlüsselinformationen, weshalb es wichtig sei, dass sich alle Länder an "One Geology" beteiligen, verdeutlicht Asch.

This real-time seismic monitor shows earthquake epicenters for today, yesterday, past 2 weeks and past 5 years. The size of the displayed earthquake circle is proportional to its magnitude.
JGIS is an international refereed journal dedicated to the latest advancement of Geographic Information System . The goal of this journal is to keep a record of the state-of-the-art research and promote the research work in these fast moving areas.
JSatTrak is a Satellite tracking program written in Java. It allows you to predict the position of any satellite in real time or in the past or future. It uses advanced SGP4/SDP4 algorithms developed by NASA/NORAD or customizable high precision solvers to propagate satellite orbits. The program also allows for easy updating of current satellite tracking data via CelesTrak.com. Because this application was written in Java, it should run on almost any operating system or directly off the web using java web start!
The Department of Energy (DOE) is moving towards Long-Term Stewardship (LTS) of many environmental restoration sites that cannot be released for unrestricted use. One aspect of information management for LTS is geospatial data archiving. This report di
MapGuide Open Source is a web-based platform that enables users to quickly develop and deploy web mapping applications and geospatial web services. MapGuide features an interactive viewer that includes support for feature selection, property inspection, map tips, and operations such as buffer, select within, and measure. MapGuide includes an XML database for managing content, and supports most popular geospatial file formats, databases, and standards. MapGuide can be deployed on Linux or Windows, supports Apache and IIS web servers, and offers extensive PHP, .NET, Java, and JavaScript APIs for application development. MapGuide Open Source is licensed under the LGPL.
a Free C++/Python GIS Toolkit for developing mapping applications. Above all Mapnik is about making beautiful maps. It is easily extensible and suitable for both desktop and web development.
website for sharing maps created with the GMapCreator software, released by CASA. The maps themselves are not stored on the server -- only a link to another site on the Internet where the map is published. When maps are shared, information about what the map is and what it shows is entered by the owner and this is stored on the server along with the link to where the map is published. The raw data is never stored on the Internet as the maps comprise the pre-rendered tiles made by the GMapCreator, so this is a safe way of sharing a map without giving away the raw data used to create it. MapTube is a product of the work undertaken by the Geographic Virtual Urban Environments (GeoVUE) team based at University College London's Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA). GeoVUE is a research Node of the National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS). NCeSS (http://www.ncess.ac.uk/) is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)
OBIS-USA is a one-stop source for biogeographic data collected from U.S. waters and oceanic regions-the Arctic, the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes. It provides access to highly distributed data sets from a multitude of partners DOCUMENTing where and when species were observed or collected. The site allows one to examine each data set to assess its applicability for a variety of uses. Current functionality allows the user to view the data and FGDC compliant metadata as well as to view geographic, temporal or spatial extent; the taxonomic depth and richness.
