5. GML XML for structured exchange of geo data/information
Een standaard formaat voor het overdragen van vector geo-informatie, zowel in Internet GIS als in meer traditionele context, wordt gebruikt in een prototype van de vernieuwde topografische kaart 1: Het formaat is ontwikkeld door het OpenGIS Consortium en heet GML (Geography Markup Language).
GML is gebaseerd op de wereldstandaard voor gestructureerd uitwisselen van informatie, namelijk XML (eXtensible Markup Language). Op basis van gebruikerswensen voor het nieuwe digitale landschapsmodel (DLM), geïnventariseerd door het CGI Wageningen, is er een conceptueel model gemaakt door het ITC Enschede. De TDN heeft hiervoor een proefbestand gemaakt, dat door de TU Delft is geconverteerd in het GML prototype.

6. Location based services (LBS)
Architecture mobile GIS
positioning (either GSM/GPRS/UTMS or GPS/GLONASS/Galileo)
wireless communication network based on GSM/GPRS/UTMS
GIS data and services form the GII
Common aspect: geographic locations

8. Information communities
Today, migration towards integrated GIS architecture: all data in the DBMS
Next step: creation of
Geo-Information Infrastructure (GII)
for related organizations and individuals
that is, (geo-)information communities
avoids exchanging copies of data
Parallel between geo-information and scientific information
January 3, 2019

9. GII goal, new approach Avoiding copying data data at the sources
no management at client (user) site
data accessible from all-over the world
Enables fair pricing
ranging from free to charge per used subset
(instead of paying for full data sets)
fair for both vendors and buyers
January 3, 2019

10. GII components Four main components geo-data sets networks
geo-data processing services (geo-DBMS)
interoperability standards
Aspects
technical
financial
organizational
legal and others
Note a lot of discussion of the (free) availability of geo-information (NL, Europe, world)
January 3, 2019

11. GII example On-the-fly access to geo-data: - multi-source
- transparent
- Java client

14. Different categories of publications
Books, monograph
PhD thesis
Edited books (often related to theme/event)
Conference proceedings
Articles (peer reviewed journals)
Professional publications
Reports
Student MSc theses, case study reports
 Perhaps with exception of (edited) book all our publications should be available form our website without cost

18. Publications and relevant systems
Idea, plan (Publibase, TUD/OTB xls-based system)
Submission (journal, conference, book,…)
Accepted and published (after revision):
Our GDMC website publication (pdf full text)
Metis TU Delft output registration
Delft Repository (pdf full text, under construction)
If work in context of larger project (consortium), then also on project website; e.g. Bsik RGI
Wish: streamline involved systems and workflow

21. Quality of scientific publications depends on several actors
Researcher/authors for primary content (text, illustrations)
Editor and reviewers for checking scientific quality
Publisher for language checking and graphic layout (important aspect)
Distribution (digital and analogue), discoverability, long term availability (archiving)

23. Natural right to distribute own publication
Own website is not complete without this, it is a complete, coherent palette; in our case: research topics, staff, publications, test GIS-data and services
Full papers contain publisher details, which is in fact a kind of advertisement (where to obtain related publications) and compensation for their effort
Distribution via publisher and own website maximizes availability, which is one of the primary goals of a University: distribute knowledge
