Dear Colleagues, we currently have compiled 104 GIS layers open access, worldwide, on a 1km pixel scale as tiffs.
These are habitat, climate and socio-economic data from various sources. It's currently with a manuscript in review (see here in the appendix, if interested http://www.earth-syst-sci-data-discuss.net/essd-2016-65/). It's a pre-print for public review with the ESSD journal. Anyways, my questions to you are: -how can those data be served best to support QGIS, e.g. as a package or plugin, and is that needed and wanted ? -what other data sources of that level exist and how to co-arrange ? -how to make it dynamic so that other people can add and contribute + update ? Another (species) data source is GBIF.org (an R package exist there but a QGIS one would be a most excellent idea, e.g. to wrestle the entire data set in one shot!). Movebank is another one, but it's certainly not Open Access; too bad on them. (I am sure you have seen the Antarctic version of QGIS with data, run from Norway). Funding remains a key question to get this done; my guess. Perhaps the Academies of Sciences can take that on, serving the wider public, for a change ? Happy to learn your thoughts and suggestions.
