Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Demo WMS server

2010-05-12 Thread Judit Mays
Hi Jochen,

The deegree demo server [1] hosts a WMS as well. It always runs with the
latest stable version of deegree.

The Base-URL for the deegree WMS [2], an example for the GetCapabilities
[3] and, last but not least, an example for serving OSM slippy maps via
WMS [4] as direct data source are also available.

[4]http://demo.deegree.org/deegree-wms/wms.jsp
- Special features of deegree WMS

Greetings,
Judit

 I am just working on a piece of Open Source software that can access WMS
 servers. I'd like to have some kind of demo server that could be configured
 in the software by default so that people have a working configuration
 directly after install which makes it easier for them to get going. The
 server doesn't have to do much, just deliver a simple world map or so.
 
 I looked around a bit for suitable demo servers, but didn't find any. It
 should be something with a reasonable chance that it will be around for a
 while.
 
 I could imagine that other people have the same problem. How about having
 such a WMS server on a OSGeo host somewhere? I don't expect a huge amount
 of load on such a server, its just for demo and not for actual use, really.
 
 What do you think about this? I don't have access to any OSGeo hosts, but
 would be willing to help with the setup.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Generalizing complex 3D vector polygon data

2010-03-24 Thread Judit Mays
Hello,

in deegree3 tools, there is a class
org.deegree.tools.rendering.manager.buildings.generalisation.WorldObjectSimplifier,
which creates a convex hull of the 2D-Projection (ground level) of the
original, and creates 'vertical' walls on this convex hull, it is not a
real simplification though.

If this might be of interest to you please ask further questions
regarding this tool on the deegree-users list:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/deegree-users

Kind regards,

 Dear list,
 
 Here's my challenge. I have 3D buildings originally in the AutoCAD
 format which are composed of hundreds of 2D polygons in 3D space.
 
 Is there any tool that can generalize 3D data?
 
 I found that GRASS GIS offers line generalization:
 http://grass.itc.it/gdp/html_grass64/v.generalize.html
 but found nothing regarding 3D generalization.
 
 My feeling is that 'GIS technology' is just not there yet. There's just
 no implemented algorithms to generalize complex 3D to less complex 3D
 data. Am I right?
 
 
 Since my team is heavily using FOSS4G, we're looking for a solution (if
 any) that would ideally be 100% FOSS4G.
 
 Thanks for any feedback,
 
 Alex

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2010 Call for Workshops and Tutorials is open

2010-03-16 Thread Judit Mays
Hi,
from this email in January I learned that abstract submission deadline
for FOSS4G would be on May 1st, 2010 (see Upcoming milestones). Now I
read on the web pages, that the deadline is April 1st.

Should this change of deadline not be announced more offensively? People
might miss the date otherwise. Or is there no change of plans and the
1st of May still holds true?

 Barcelona, Spain. 15 January 2010.
 
 
 The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference
 is pleased to announce a Call for Workshops and Tutorials for the 2010
 conference, being held September 6-9, 2010, in Barcelona, Spain.
 
 FOSS4G is the international gathering of tribes for open source
 geospatial communities. Users and developers are encouraged to present
 their latest projects and software to demonstrate the power of Open
 Source for system integration through a series of workshop sessions
 and tutorial presentations. Session participants should expect to see
 presentations on both geospatial open source and propriety software
 integration along with pure open source solutions.
 
 
 Workshops
 
 
 Workshops are expected to be 3 hour hands-on experiences with
 participants following along with the instructor, working directly
 with the application under discussion. All workshop rooms will be
 equipped with computers to support this vision. A projector will be
 provided for each computer room for use within a workshop. Instructors
 will need to discuss pre-installation requirements with the Conference
 Organising Committee if required.
 
 Workshops are expected to require considerable effort to create, with
 past experience showing that three days of preparation per hour of
 presentation are required to produce a high quality workshop.
 Additionally you will be expected to develop material for attendees to
 take home with them, such as handouts, workbook, CD-ROMs, etc. Due to
 the effort involved in producing and presenting a workshop,
 instructors will receive a single complementary registration to the
 conference for delivering a workshop.
 
 All workshop submissions will be considered, but particular interest
 will be shown in:
 
  * Practical Introduction to FOSS4G software
  * Integrating Open Source
  * Spatial Data Infrastructure
 
 
 Tutorials
 
 
 Tutorials are 90 minute sessions during the regular presentations
 portion of the conference. Tutorial rooms will not be equipped with
 computers. However, presenters may make use of delegate laptops and
 the FOSS4G LiveDVD.
 
 Preference will be given to hands-on tutorials.
 
 Any hands-on aspects to a tutorial will be the responsibility of the
 presenter and needs to be described in the tutorial description.
 Presenters making use of the LiveDVD will be expected to contribute to
 testing pre-releases to ensure material and software is properly
 installed. To discuss your requirements for LiveDVD, please contact
 the LiveDVD community:
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Contact_Us.
 
 All tutorial submissions will be considered, but particular interest
 will be shown in the following topics:
 
  * Practical Introductions
  * Interoperability
  * Integration
  * Performance tuning
  * SDI services
  * Mobile/phone applications
 
 
 Application form
 ---
 
 Follow this link to submit your proposals:
 http://intranet.pacifico-meetings.com:8081/abscoweb/Inicio.iface?id=14
 Please add a 300 word abstract, in plain text format (pasting a text
 with style markup could make the process fail).
 
 The deadline for workshop / tutorial submissions is January 30.
 
 
 FOSS4G 2010 Highlights
 
 
 Workshops and Tutorials: Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to
 lead attendees through applications, integration solutions, or other
 topics in an interactive environment. Half-day workshops (3 hours)
 will be held in computer rooms on September 6 (afternoon session) and
 7 (morning session). Tutorials (90 minutes) will be held in standard
 presentation rooms, run concurrently with presentations on 7-9
 September.
 
 Presentations: The meat of the conference are it's presentations.
 Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international
 experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics
 in the industry today.
 
 Academic Track: The academic sessions, with paper publications and
 poster presentations, aims at bringing together researchers,
 developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and
 development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields and
 willing to share original and recent research developments and
 experiences. The academic track will act as an inventory of current
 research topics, with the main objective of promoting cooperative
 research between OSGeo developers and the academia.

 Deegree is a WMS/WFS/WCS(?) server and GeoTools is a Java library for

Hi,
in my view this differentiation does not quite fit.

It is true that deegree offers a long list of services (implementing
various specifications of the OGC). But deegree is also a Java library
that can be used through its API.

Currently, deegree is undergoing a thorough rewrite of the code base.
While the current stable version (deegree2) offers many different
pre-packaged web services, it is a bit weak when it comes to strict
separation of API and application. Amongst other things, this is being
addressed in the development of the next major version (deegree3).

BTW, deegree implements more OGC services than just WMS, WFS and WCS.
For a full list of implemented web services, you could check our wiki:
deegree2: http://wiki.deegree.org/deegreeWiki/deegree2
deegree3: http://wiki.deegree.org/deegreeWiki/deegree3

 Frans,

 I will try to provide an intelligent answer to your question based on my
 own experience.

 Here is my observation of the main difference between Deegree and
 Geotools:

 Degree seems to be a more closely knit group of developers, coming from
 just a couple of organizations, while Geotools draws developers from all
 over the place.

 This has some different implications for users of the libraries and for
 developers.

 I find the Deegree API is often easier to use but not as well
 documented. The Geotools API is better documented but much more
 complicated. I think this extra complication in Geotools stems from its
 efforts to please such a diverse group.

 I have contributed a single unsupported module to Geotools. This
 process wasn't too burdensome, and I found a couple of the programmers
 in Geotools were a delight to work with. I also learned a lot from my
 very limited work on Geotools. I typically work on code that plugs into
 a single program, and participation in Geotools requires you to write
 code that can be used in all sorts of programs. You need a different
 type of thinking to do that.

 The programmers from Deegree were also very responsive on their mailing
 list.

 Deegree uses a feature model somewhat similar to JUMP's. I find the
 Geotools feature model is very hard to learn and work with.

 I hope that helps.

Re: [deegree-devel] Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] WCS/WMS accuracy tests?

2009-12-11 Thread Judit Mays
Dear Steven,

thank you very much for the good work you put into the WCS testing.

I have already talked to some of the other deegree developers, but as
they are all extremely busy at the moment, they did not find the time
yet to follow up on your test scenario and see what the reasons are for
the deegree2.3-rc1 WCS behaviour. I am not sure yet that it should be
called a bug, but if it is, we will see to get it fixed eventually.

I will make sure to let you know about the outcome.

Info for the deegree-devel list readers:

 Hi all,

 I've finished my tests.
 The conclusion:
 Geoserver has a bug which offsets all the results by half a pixel, this is a 
 known issue with the definition of the location of a pixel. Added to this 
 there’s the no-data border which appears with non-native, non-multiple 
 requests. I presume that will be gone once the pixel issue is resolved.

 Mapserver doesn’t offset the data unless it is physically impossible 
 (non-native, non-multiple resolutions, extents which don’t snap to source 
 data) but produces a multi-band geotiff where the source data is single band.

 Deegree has a bug which offsets some of the results, but I don’t know what 
 causes it and although it is resolution-related I don’t see a pattern. It 
 also produces a multi-band geotiff instead of a single band.

 The full report can be found at:
 http://blog.minst.net/2009/12/09/perceived-wcs-inaccuracy (slow site warning)

 The issue for Geoserver can be found at 
 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3702
 The issue for Deegree can be found at 
 http://wald.intevation.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1216group_id=27atid=212
 For mapserver I didn't file a bug since I'm not entirely sure if the GeoTiff 
 multi-band image is me or mapserver and I didn't inverstigate it any further.

 If there are any questions or remarks let me know

 regards,
 Steven

 Steve,

 Are you requesting the data at greater than the natural resolution of the
 image?  Is it the DescribeCoverage extent details that are wrong?  If
 you request the imagery supersampled (at higher resolution than the 
 underlying
 image) then there is a known issue with MapServer that can be fixed by
 setting adding the following line to the LAYER at some cost in processing
 speed:

 I will test both the same resolution and a greater resolution to be sure. 
 Currently we request a greater resolution since that's what we need.
 
  PROCESSING RESAMPLE=NEAREST

 I discovered that already and included it in my mapfile. The trouble is that 
 the image from Mapserver (and the other services) is shifted to the South 
 East. I only did a quick test before the office closed so the exact shift is 
 still to be determined, but it was noticeable smaller than with Geoserver and 
 Deegree. 
 For Geoserver we tested it both by defining a resolution of the output image 
 and with a width and height with the same BBOX. For Mapserver I only tried 
 the resolution request (resx=#resy=#)
 
 If that is the issue then a ticket might still be appropriate, but I will
 take a different approach which is to force use of the more precise resampler
 when any raster draw request is made at supersampled resolution.

 Best regards,

[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: [Incubator] Request for OSGeo projects logos

2009-11-26 Thread Judit Mays
Hi,

links for the deegree logos (png and svg) have been added to
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Logos_from_OSGeo_projects

kind regards,

 OSGeo Project Leads (incubating and graduated),
 please make sure that you upload your logos in high quality SVG format
 to the OSGeo Marketing SVN repository, please create a sub folder with
 the name of your project:
 http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/logo/projects/
 
 The logos will be used by the Marketing Committee, Local Chapters and
 individuals giving presentations, talks, etc. Pushing your logo there in
 high quality will add emphasis to your professionalism and help to
 promote and add visibility to your efforts.
 
 If you do not have an acceptable SVG file please upload a high
 resolution raster image, that will still be better than not having
 anything.
 
 Best regards,
 Arnulf.

 Hi all,

 the OSGeo spanish chapter are working on making a poster to the 5th gvSIG
 conference. We need the logos of the OSGeo projects, but in vectorial
 format, like .svg. Do you know where we can find??.

 There is an subversion repository: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/

 Maybe that has some sources you could use.

 This is the place where we *should* have project logos, but at this
 time there are just sponsors and general OSGeo branding stuff. Maybe
 the logos are there, out of the logo folder...

 What about asking any project to place there the best/last logo they have?

 Cheers

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] The Best API for accessing map/geospatial server

2009-11-02 Thread Judit Mays
Hello Frans,

as Jody mentioned, there is deegree as well [1].

deegree WMS is fully certified by OGC, and it is the reference
implementation for WMS 1.1.1 and WMS 1.3.0 [2].

Currently, deegree is in OSGeo incubation, and we are looking forward to
solve the pending issues within the next few weeks.

Kind regards,
Judit Mays

 Correct.
 You will find the GeoTools DataStore api lets you treat it like a
 database; and indeed lets you handle Shapefile / Web Feature Server
 and Databases in a similar fashion (with transactions and queries
 etc...).
 
 thx for the reply jody
 
 
 with this positoning, i feel that because no other than Java Geotools :)
 
 i want to reverse,
 
 which one of those map servers in the world have fully certified by
 OGC for WMS implementation, so we know, all our apps that connect to
 those geospatial server no need modification
 
 i can change mapguide to mapserver to geoserver and vice versa
 
 any idea all?

Hello Frans,

even though it is an uncommon way to spell it, the software really is
called deegree, with two double-ee.

Some more details from the OSGeo SVN:
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/flyer/project_brochure_pdfs/OSGeo_Brochures_deegree.pdf

Hope you will enjoy the software!
Kind regards,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Geodata Licensing Working_Group wiki page is German LC Wiki page ?

Hi Yves

I have no idea why this is the case, but for some reason or other the
Geodata_Licensing_Working_Group gets redirected to the German local
chapter page (D-A-CH)

http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Geodata_Licensing_Working_Groupredirect=no

on a very quick scroll through that page I couldn't identify anything
connected to Licensing.

Greetings,
Judit

 Hi,
 
 I don't understand this page, even with the help of Google Translator [1].
 
 The link in [2] tells me that this page is A Geodata Licensing Working Group

 open licenses for geodata. in Working group section. Its title tells me 
 this is a right page, but all is wrote in german and google translator show 
 me a German Local chapter wiki page.
 
 Does the content of this wiki page move so much that its title need to be 
 changed? Do you know where is the new wiki content of this working group?
 
 Thanks,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Projects at FOSS4G

2008-09-17 Thread Judit Mays
Hi OSGeo-discussion-list,
this is my first mail to you all. So far I have only been reading, with great
interest.


Hello Tyler,
I will be representing the deegree project (currently in incubation), with two
talks and one lab.

Kind regards,
Judit


Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo) schrieb:
 I'm curious about how many different projects (OSGeo and others) will be
 represented at FOSS4G by speakers, workshops, etc. Rather than wade
 through the presentation listing, I thought I'd be lazy and ask here.
 
 If you know that your project(s) are going to be represented there,
 could you drop me a note?  Just let me know in general how many folks
 from it will be there.  If there are enough people around we could
 arrange times for people to meet your project at the OSGeo booth.
 
 It would also help to know if your project has plans to bring flyers or
 brochures to hand out at the booth.  The OSGeo Marketing Committee is
 arranging to have some overview brochures.
 
 Also, all projects and committees are welcome to do a brief talk at the
 Annual General Meeting.[1]  It had great turnout last year and was very
 informative!  Just sign up if you want to talk or add an item to the
 list for debate/discussion during the meeting.
