Italy: ARIADNE - Success stories from partners and the research communityariadnenetwork
Fasti Online has been expanded to include information on survey and conservation efforts from 3700 excavation sites in 14 countries since 2000. Over 1200 additional sites were added during the four years of the ARIADNE project. A new initiative called NAHAN aims to create a common platform for over 20 archives in Europe and North Africa, using the ARIADNE model. Fasti Online has grown due to increased awareness of the need to share archaeological information and has driven other new initiatives. It was also awarded the Archaeological Institute of America's first annual award for digital archaeology.
Poster Warmer, Robert 16RS Knowledge Inventory for hydrogeology researchRobert Warmer
The KINDRA project aims to build a European Inventory of Groundwater Research (EIGR) to assess the current state of hydrogeology knowledge in Europe. Twenty-one European countries are participating by having national experts promote and populate the inventory with research resources classified by keywords and locations. The inventory will identify gaps in research, spread hydrogeology research, and increase political awareness of groundwater's importance. It is hoped the EIGR strengthens hydrogeology's position for new research funds distribution in 2020 by providing a public, searchable database of European groundwater research.
This document summarizes the Plan4all project, which aims to harmonize spatial planning data across Europe according to the INSPIRE Directive.

The API allows uploading shapefiles and generating cartograms, while the website provides an interface for non-technical users and a widget for embedding cartograms. The project is complete and seeking volunteer testers.
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a computer-based tool that allows users to create, analyze, and display spatial information. GIS integrates many types of data to provide insights.
- GIS is used widely by international organizations, private industry, and government for applications like transportation planning, environmental analysis, and disaster management. It stores geographic data in layers that can be linked by location.
- Remote sensing involves collecting information about an area from a distance, such as via satellite or aerial imagery. High resolution sensors are commonly used to create accurate base maps and infrastructure data. Remote sensing data is extracted and digitized in GIS to build geographic databases.
This document provides an overview of geographic information systems (GIS) and their applications in civil engineering, the environment, and natural resource management. It discusses how GIS integrates data from various sources and disciplines to store, manipulate, analyze, and display spatial information. GIS has become an important tool for tasks like infrastructure and urban planning, natural resource management, and disaster mitigation by allowing users to query data, find optimal routes, and better understand spatial relationships. The document also covers GIS components like maps, coordinate systems, software, and how various fields contributed to the development of GIS technology.

CitySense - Eric Robson, Data Mining and Social Computing Research Manager, TSSGWalton Institute
The CitySense Project aims to harness crowd-sourcing to enable citizens to passively collect environmental sensor data as they move through their city. Citizens will carry sensor packs that measure carbon monoxide, smoke particles, carbon dioxide, temperature, and location data. Over 30 citizens including couriers, students, and a government minister will participate in the initial swarm to generate sensor readings. The data will be visualized on a city dashboard to provide accurate descriptions of environmental conditions across the city. The project seeks to rapidly prototype this citizen sensor swarm approach to smart cities.
