Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] new geoparser services
Brad - the API we have is designed to cater for both parsers in a generic fashion - so you can invoke either parser and have a (broadly) similar response. CLAVIN is already open sourced and also comes as a deployable VM I believe - the Edinburgh Geosparser is more complex as its bulit on a range of existing opensourced NLP toolsets as well as a bespoke pipleline. The code is available on request but the team lack the resource to support a full properly maintained open source release. For information, it was recently been used to geoparse a large corpus of literary texts for the LitLong project - litlong.org. Hope that helps? Any questions please ask. regards James On 03/06/15 00:42, Brad Hards wrote: On Tue, 2 Jun 2015 04:14:33 PM James Reid wrote: All, for those interested in geoparsers I'm pleased to say that we (University of Edinburgh) have recently made updates to our free Unlock Text service.

All, for those interested in geoparsers I'm pleased to say that we (University of Edinburgh) have recently made updates to our free Unlock Text service. We now support 2 separate geoparser engines - the 'Edinburgh LTG Geoparser' and a modified Clavin engine.

[OSGeo-Discuss] possible idea for a funding opp?
All, in the UK one of the educational funding charities is having an open door ideas pitch where you can pitch ideas relating to research data: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/get-involved/research-data-spring I'm on the cusp of submitting an idea to this but thought Id poll this list first to see if there's any support/ interest i.e. to validate the notion and make sure its not just my creeping insanity knocking! As the submitted ideas will be ranked based on votes cast I was also trying to gauge if there would be any support for what I'm proposing. Below is the nub of the idea. If folks think this is something that has merit (and moreover something they might vote for) then could you ping me a '+1' off list? Of course other ideas are also to be encouraged... cheers james Proposal Idea: The concept of Cloud Work Bench (CWB) is quite simple – to provide researchers in the geospatial domain (GI Scientists,geomaticians, GIS experts, spatial disciplines) the tools, storage and data persistence they require to conduct research without the need to manage the same in a local context that can be fraught with socio-technical barriers that impede the actual research. By streamlining the availability and deployment of open source software tools, by supporting auto-generated web services and using open data, the work bench concept is geared towards removing the barriers that are inherent in geospatial research workflows – how to deploy the tools you want and have the storage and data management capabilities without the overhead of doing it all yourself. Think of it as an academic Dropbox with additional geospatial software tools and data thrown in... Recognising the high set-up cost for researchers in acquiring and managing both the tools and the data with which to undertake research, CWB will on demand, instantiate virtual machines that can be configured at initiation by the researcher and will pre-populate their custom 'workbench' with a selection of open source tooling and open data with the additional assurance of resilience and persistence provided by a University backed private cloud. We propose piloting the CWB approach within the geospatial research community which has a well established and broad user base across academia and industry and also has a mature open source toolset and data stack which are prerequisites to conducting research e.g. Open Street Map, Ordnance Survey Open data, Postgis, Geoserver, GDAL/OGR. -- James S Reid Geoservices, EDINA,University of Edinburgh t:+44 (0)131 651 1383 m:0759 5116988 "The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand" The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] open source geotagger
Dear list, I’m pleased to announce an initial release of some geotagging software we are open sourcing: https://github.com/xmichael/tagger Its built over the excellent Spatialite and Exfitool and in a nutshell allows anyone to set up their own web service API onto the Exiftool+spatialite backends for the purposes of searching, editing and reviewing embedded metadata within digital media . It reads and writes a lot of file formats (courtesy of Exfitool) but also allows for some cloud integration (using Dropbox) as a proxy persistence layer. An instantisable demo web site is also included. An actual operating instance of this can be seen here: tagger.edina.ac.uk and the API documentation can also be reviewed there. Hopefully the documentation provides sufficient explanation of both the rationale and operational detail behind this work and will allow others to use it. We'd like to hear from anyone planning on using it. Any questions don’t hesitate - and enjoy!! cheers -- James S Reid Geoservices, EDINA University of Edinburgh t:+44 (0)131 651 1383 m:0759 5116988 "This note's for you."

And sorry for not being clear, actually i want a GIS which is web based as many clients would be acting on it at the same time, we being on server side, as a desktop GIS does not has this feature. So I would like for suggestions on that, Geomajas is a good option, but still open for suggestions. In general, there are a couple things you can do. 1. For a full WebGIS solution, it seems like Geomajas is the primary option. It comes set up with GIS functionality out of the box, and many people seem to be using it this way successfully. 2. If what you're most interested in is a UI for managing a bunch of GIS data, what you may be interested in may actually be something like Mapbender, which is a geospatial data portal. 3. If you want to 'roll your own' -- for example, if you only need a limited set of functionality -- then OpenLayers+GeoExt+MapFish provide a set of reasonable tools to work with to create your own. There are a number of service providers -- like OpenGeo, Camptocamp -- who can provide development services support to help you implement a solution in this vein. Another option that I know less about is GeoMoose. A third option I also know less about is MapGuide's 'Fusion' toolkit. GeoMoose is generally tied relatively closely to MapServer, I believe, though I could be wrong on that. MapGuide Fusion is tied relatively closely to MapGuide; at one point there was some work on extending it to also talk to MapServer, though I don't know how far that went. OpenGeo may also have some aspect of the GeoServer toolkit that fulfills this need, but nothing comes to mind off the top of my head. I believe something like OpenGeo's "GeoNode" is actually a 'competitor' of sorts to something like Mapbender, a combination of catalog services and tools to manage and browse them.
