“GeoNode Overview” 2013 - Eduardo Mattenet

Successfully manage all GIS components as a whole

Goals

“GeoNode Overview” 2013 - Eduardo Mattenet

“…the sources, systems, network linkages, standards, and institutional issues involved in delivering

spatially-related data from many different sources to the widest possible group of potential users at

affordable costs.”

– Groot & McLaughlin 2000

Spatial Data Infrastructure

(SDI)

Goals“Spatial Data Infrastructure Best Practices with GeoNode” - Sebastian Benthall, Galen Evans

The goal is to try to create

an Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)

that makes easy

uploading, sharing, and working

with geospatial data

Goals

Share Data

“Open Data for Resilience Initiative” 2017 - Vivien Deparday

Share Data

Our ideal SDI should:

- Allow people to publish their data without being a GIS expert; lower down barriers as

much as possible

Share Data


- Allow people to style their data in a appetizing manner without struggling

with complex XML or CSS stuff

Share Data


- Allow people to describe their data in a human readable way; need to clearly

attach metadata which is not a huge and ugly XML file

Share Data


- Allow people to share their data and also embed it into reports, maps and blogs

Share Data


- Allow people to provide feedbacks to data, easily identify and contact the authors or

responsible parties, and directly communicate with them

Share Data


- Give users a reason to participate in the system

Share Data


- Allow people to use data, by easily search for it and download it

Share Data


- Allow people to access data, from systems and clients they already use; make use of Standard Protocols but hide them to users

- Provide to users all they need on a unique point of access

- Allow people to easily link data to the Organizations (or partners) that

contributed it

- Allow people to contribute back optimizations and details to improve data

Founders

Are interested in GeoNode primarily for disaster risk management

Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and World Bank

UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR)

Developing Risk Information to Inform Decisions

Create a platform to inform resilient development across sectors

Develop Detailed Physical Risk Assessment by collection, management, and analysis of data

Create a Portfolio of Activities to Increase Resilience

RISK REDUCTION PREPAREDNESS FINANCIAL PROTECTION

RESILIENT RECOVERY


The Problem Understanding and quantifying disaster and climate risks requires accessible,

detailed and up to date data on the hazard, exposure and vulnerability

In developing countries, data gaps prohibit meaningful analysis of risks – for example:

• Impact of Sea Level Rise when current coastal dataset has a ~16 m vertical error

• Impact of disasters and climate change on vulnerable populations when census data is not disaggregated

• Impact of disasters on schools when there is no database of schools and their attributes

• Cities are growing faster than mapping is keeping up with

The data issues:

• Fragmentation and duplication across ministries and development institutions

• Discoverability and inaccessibility

• Stale and incomplete data

• Curation expense

• Weak Usage/Application creates a disincentive for investment in data


Sharing, Collecting, Using Risk Information to Inform Decisions

Collecting

Sharing

Using


Provides styling and cartography tools

Users can use the tools on data they upload

GeoNode provides a reason to participate

Fine granularity on data permissions

Users can manage their profiles; those information are part of the metadata itself, Profiles then become useful data

Allows to organize users into groups / organizations

Data is advertised and disseminated through open standard W*S

Good metadata for geospatial data is important but hard to produce

Metadata Issue

Advertise users / admins on metadata completness

Help users to fill all the metadata fields required by ISO

Metadata is published with open standard CSW

Use open standards for data access; GeoNode also has open APIs

GeoNode's components interact through clean API’s

Others can build apps around GeoNode

Data published by GeoServer in OGC Services: WMS, WFS, WCS

Metadata published by PyCSW / GeoNetwork in OGC Service: CSW

Open Standards for data access

were Nsanje and Chikwawa

• Affected >600,000 people, displaced 200,000,and damaged 35,000 ha ofagricultural crops

• Affected the poorest the hardest

The benefit of having data and Masdap Platform:• All data from the flood event was shared on the official Government
