Do climate and weather data qualify as geospatial?
Sure -- so we would really like to hear your input.
The usual suspects:
for me:
and datasets:
For me, with some overlap with the above, (and some of this is a bit stale, but it's stuff I've used):
For DynaSlum, I've worked with:
Raster (geotiff)
Vector (shape files)
QGIS
shapely + fiona
gdal
The PointCloud hands-on experience - only during the eEcoLiDAR team sprint
Perhaps also good to mention OSGeo (https://www.osgeo.org/), an organisation supporting a lot of the tools and libraries mentioned above.
Also, there is a suite of standards (WPS, WMS, WCS, ...) that are good to at least know about, most of them managed by OGC (http://www.opengeospatial.org/)
Note that we once (in 2016) make a small effort to collection info on GeoSpatial data and software already. See the result here:
@nielsdrost that's really cool news and a great starting point. Somehow I was not aware of it. We were also looking for a place where to publish this information, this might a nice one.
Thanks for sharing.
@romulogoncalves Yes, we could have announced it better ;-)
Perhaps it would be good to also involve the Geo office365 group at NLeSC? It's not quite a SIG, but we though about making it an official one a few times now. :-)
In addition to the lists above: rasterio is a more Python friendly package offering GDAL functionality.
This issue is quite old by now. I will close it, but please open it again if there is something to share (for example lessons learned) with the SIG on this topic.
Data-SIG is trying to create an overview of standard data formats, technology and expertise for GeoSpatial Data Handling at NLeSC.
Through comments, we invite our colleagues to report on type of GeoSpatial data sets they have worked on, such as Vector, Raster, PointCloud, etc, but also which tools they have used to manage and process them, and if possible on which project. The latter is not relevant, but welcomed.
