'''Welcome to "Geo for All" Urban Science and City Analytics Thematic'''

Chairs: Chris Pettit (Australia) and Patrick Hogan (USA)

The mail list will be geoforall-urbanscience@lists.osgeo.org

With the "Geo for All" Urban Science and City Analytics thematic group established, the chairs of this are now the contact points for any new initiatives, ideas in this theme and the mailing list becomes the first point of contact for the new members and all members can use the list for collaborating on building subject specific collaborations.

This way we can make sure it is scalable and meets local/region requirements/needs.All ideas welcome.

All participants should also support the Open Cities Guiding Principles detailed below (Thanks to Cameron Shorter for this)

'''Open Cities - Guiding Principles'''

* All materials created is made available for all under an Open License
* All material is of sufficient quality that it can be built upon by others in the network
* All participants aim to reuse, extend, invent material (in that order).

Note that it is more valuable to have one set of core maintained material than have lots of competing material.
* Covers specific topic areas - spatial, .

----

'''Who in our network is doing what related to this theme?'''
* Tom Mueller, California University of Pennsylvania
** Similar to Charlie, I want to build educational exercises and service learning opportunities for my students.

'''Urban Science / City Analytics: Key Application Areas, Needs and Challenges'''

* 'CitySmart' app categories' feel free to expand (use-cases next):
We owe all of this 'first cut' to Brandt Melick, Information Technology Department Director, City of Springfield Oregon USA
http://www.nsdinow.org

# elevation data
# place names
# buildings
# utilities
# parks
# wetlands
# creeks
# streams
# rivers
# habitats for native and invasive species
# rights of way
# street systems
# storm drainage
# water distribution systems
# power distribution systems
# waste water systems
# parcel information
# building permits
# construction zones, etc.
# indoor positioning (added by aperezn)
# context aware recommender systems (added by aperezn)

* Data sharing – Municipalities need to be able to share information with site developers, site constraint specialists (environmental scientists, planners and engineers), utility service providers and regulators. The following information is requested on a regular basis for a wide variety of location based solutions, namely (ESRI products, Autodesk products and standard office products such as excel, access, etc.). These data sets most often include, in order of importance:
** Imagery (3-inch pixel is preferred, 1 foot pixel is less preferred, 1 meter is getting much less preferred)
** Cadastral Information (parcel polygons, Rights of Way (ROW), property ownership, assessment and taxation information and property class)
** Address Information (house number, street name, City, zip, site location (coordinates) and zoning information)
** Jurisdictional boundaries (incorporated areas, city limits, county boundaries, etc.), urban growth boundaries, public safety response areas
** Elevation Information (DEM’s (raster), DTM’s (vector), contours and spot elevation points, as well as mass points and break lines)
** Waterways and protected areas (wetlands, fish-bearing streams, endangered species habitat, well-head protection zones, etc.)
** Facilities a.k.a. utilities (waste-water, storm-water, transportation systems, power, drinking water, etc. who owns the facility, who maintains the facility, etc.)
** Structures a.k.a. facilities (bridges, building foot prints, complexes, monuments, etc.)
** Documents (reference material, procedures, regulations, metadata, etc.)
** Lidar everyone wants yet few understand how to put it to good use (we are spoiled with 8 points per meter, 4-2 points per meter is still of good value)

* Biggest challenges: data simplification, data currency, projection (datum) conversion, unit conversion (metric to standard), storage, firewalls, metadata, and then use once received . . . expertise with highly complex ever changing location based tools typically results in the need for some hand holding, then after being used, how to keep it current . . . (interoperable and open web services)

* Site review – Municipalities need to evaluate the impact of proposed development activity on the existing build and natural environment, which typically includes estimating how much cut and fill is being proposed, how proposed land alteration impacts surface drainage, how proposed structures will to connect to city services (waste-water, storm-water, drinking-water, power, etc.), how steep the roads will be (slope for fire trucks), how close to wetlands and other protected waters of the state. These data sets most often include, in order of importance:
** Imagery
** Cadastral
** Elevation
** Facilities (structures and utilities)
** Waterways . . .

----
'''Technologies in our network that are available for addressing these needs'''
* NASA World Wind (Java, iOS and Android, Web version on its way), http://goworldwind.org/
* GeoMoose
* QGIS
* Android
* i-locate, http://i-locate.eu/

----
'''Key research questions'''

----

'''Potential Study or Educational Service Learning sites:'''

* Universities and university management are like small towns. Who in our list of universities are using GIS to manage their campuses?'
** Massachusetts, USA
***University of Massachusetts, Amherst (Schweik and Stepanov)
*** Town of Conway, MA (Schweik -- possibly a service learning case)

Wiki-Emitsakis: /* 2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network */

== 2013-2014 OSGeo Education and Curriculum Current Initiatives ==

'''The official website is online at ''http://www.geoforall.org'''''

=== 1) Continue to build up our educational material federated content databases ===

[http://www.osgeo.org/educational_content OSGeo edu's educational content metadatabase] -- a place for metadata and links to external material we are posting on our own websites<br>
[http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/xmlui/ University of Nottingham's educational content database] (ELOGeo) -- a place for us to store education content (the source code) to share

[[Webinar Series ]]

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===

This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.

In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise. It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].


It is really good to see our rapidly expanding global spread.

Feel free to join the mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ica-osgeo-labs to follow the discussions among the participants of this initiative.

The current members of the ICA-OSGeo Network are (please add '''WGS84 decimal coordinates longitude,latitude''', if you don't add the coordinate following this simple rules your institution will not show on the ICA-OSGeo Map) :

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==

As the lab network is expanding fast ,we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions

# Anne Ghisla - Asia & Australia
# Helena Mitasova - North America
# Charlie Schweik - South America
# Suchith Anand - Europe & Africa

Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.

The key requirements for establishing a local OSGL are:

(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.

(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.

(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.

From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.

We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs.

Wiki-Emitsakis: /* 2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network */

== 2013-2014 OSGeo Education and Curriculum Current Initiatives ==

'''The official website is online at ''http://www.geoforall.org'''''

=== 1) Continue to build up our educational material federated content databases ===

[http://www.osgeo.org/educational_content OSGeo edu's educational content metadatabase] -- a place for metadata and links to external material we are posting on our own websites<br>
[http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/xmlui/ University of Nottingham's educational content database] (ELOGeo) -- a place for us to store education content (the source code) to share

[[Webinar Series ]]

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===

This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.

In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise. It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].


It is really good to see our rapidly expanding global spread.

Feel free to join the mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ica-osgeo-labs to follow the discussions among the participants of this initiative.

The current members of the ICA-OSGeo Network are (please add '''WGS84 decimal coordinates longitude,latitude''', if you don't add the coordinate following this simple rules your institution will not show on the ICA-OSGeo Map) :

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==

As the lab network is expanding fast ,we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions

# Anne Ghisla - Asia & Australia
# Helena Mitasova - North America
# Charlie Schweik - South America
# Suchith Anand - Europe & Africa

Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.

The key requirements for establishing a local OSGL are:

(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.

(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.

(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.

From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.

We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs.
