GISCube, Open Source Web-based geoprocessing and visualization application

[MBoustani]

GISCube is an open source web-based GIS application that supports variety of geospatial data format (such as Shapefile, GeoTIFF and netCDF). In this session I will demo GISCube for processing as well as visualization some polar data.

Geothon offers many nice conversions between common formats in a simple architecture. This architecture could be largely compatible with the TangeloHub architecture (web based workflows in python and R). I will try to look at some integration of geothon tools before the hackathon.

I am familiar with the XDATA technologies the Kitware team and myself are developing for rapid visualization (including some analysis capability, as well. ) Should I propose a separate session to present the open-source stack I can discuss or should we consider broadening the focus of this session to be "Open-source, geospatial data analysis and visualization tools. I could present Tangelo & TangeloHub (web-based workflows) as part of either a separate session or a joint session. What do y'all think?

Please propose a session Curt that would be great and the. We can collaboratively decide to merge once we get there it leading up to the meeting thanks!

Would it be possible to easily share imagery, etc. with colleagues with GISCube? That would be very useful!

[chrismattmann]

@MBoustani ^^ please see @allenpope question above

[MBoustani]

@allenpope GISCube can produce GeoTIFF as output that can be shared with others, but by itself GISCube work stand-alone and not work as online portal that you can share your data with colleagues. However, I like this idea and would like to have it later when the project gets to good stage.

[allenpope]

@MBoustani Thanks for the explanation. That online portal for sharing would be very cool, indeed! Still, an online GIS platform would be cool to see, too.

[MBoustani]

@allenpope I should mention that GISCube is not hosted any where yet, for now the idea is anybody can use GISCube as localhost, but this is a great idea if I can host it somewhere for public (like ArcGIS online) and add the capability of sharing data between others.

[curtislisle]

@MBoustani, The TangeloHub technology I am working on currently has support for hosting and for managing datasets, so maybe we can put our heads together at the hackathon to discuss combining parts of GISCube and TangeloHub to engineer a platform that works for hosting and distributing imagery, datasets, and visualizations. Looking forward to the session coming up!

@curtislisle this is really great, I am looking forward as well to work with TangeloHub to host and share output of GISCube.
