This document provides an introduction to Digimap for Schools, an online mapping service designed for use in UK schools. It highlights key features such as access to historic maps from the 1890s and 1950s, aerial photography, and tools for annotating, measuring, and analyzing maps. Schools subscribe to the service, which allows unlimited users per school to access maps and tools through a web browser on any device. The presenter emphasizes how Digimap for Schools can support teaching and learning across the Scottish curriculum, particularly for geography, by facilitating hands-on activities with maps, data, and spatial analysis. Examples are given of how schools have used the service for topics like land use change, density calculations, and proportional mapping. Teachers observing the presentation
Presentation given at the Geospatial in the Cultural Heritage Domain - Past, Present & Future event in London on 7th March 2012. The event was organised as part of the JISC GECO project.
plan4business is an EU-funded project developing a service platform to integrate and analyze spatial planning data from heterogeneous sources. The platform will allow users to access this spatial planning data and perform spatial analyses. It will integrate data defined by the INSPIRE Directive, statistical and economic data from Eurostat, OpenStreetMap reference topography, flood areas, protected sites, transport networks, and cadastral parcels. The 24-month project is being conducted by a 6-partner consortium led by Fraunhofer IGD to build a prototype platform for aggregating, processing, and analyzing urban and regional planning data.

The Library of Congress received a grant to catalog and provide access to their collection of 1,800 African multi-sheet map sets and 125,000 individual map sheets. A team was assembled to catalog the materials, develop a database to track information, and create a web portal using Google Earth to allow access to the fully digitized collection. Challenges included coordinating different map projections and providing access to sheets in Arabic, which make up around 25,000 sheets.
This document summarizes the Plan4all project, which aims to harmonize spatial planning data across Europe according to the INSPIRE Directive. The project will develop a metadata profile, data models, and networking architecture to facilitate sharing of land use, land cover, and other spatial planning data themes. A geoportal will be established to allow access to harmonized spatial planning data from local and regional partners. The overall goal is to support seamless access to spatial planning information across borders through interoperable data standards and services.
This session aims to present the BC250 project of IBGE. This project generated a new digital mapping of the whole Brazilian territory in a 1:250.000 scale with the aid of orbital sensors, DEM and FME. The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing are important tools to systematic mapping, these kinds of technologies contributed to increase the production and aquisition of new data faster than used to be. This new digital mapping is the first one provided on the standard called EDGV. This project is part of a new structure of collect, integration and store geospatial data, which in Brazil it is call INDE. The project started in 2008 and on October's 2013, with help of FME that provided workflows capable to create a digital continuous base, the whole country is avaiable on the internet. The 1:250.000 scale is important because it has the power of subsidize the regional planning and helps on studies and projects that’s involve environmental polices.
This document discusses the Digital Exposure of English Place-Names project. It notes that the project has digitized over 80 years of scholarship on English place-names, including 32 counties, 86 volumes, over 6 million place-name forms, and thousands of bibliographic references. It explains that place-names are dynamic, attested, contested, and documented entities that require crowd-sourcing to correct errors, validate data, add missing geographic information, and enrich point data with additional details. The document also announces a new scoping study to research crowd-sourcing models for enriching humanities data.
This document discusses creating digital learning content for fieldwork and excursions. It provides examples of using mobile apps like ESRI Collector and Avenza Maps to create location-based content for students to access on tablets during excursions. The project aims to create digital content for three case studies, including an excursion on landscape and geology in the Netherlands. The goals are to make excursions more engaging for students by allowing them to collect and analyze data digitally, as well as learn from a combination of maps, videos, photos and audio recordings.

A talk by Dr. Phil Bartie about Spatial Data, how he has used it, issues of quality and how Digimap has helped him by making it available throughout his academic career.
(1) The Madrid Aerospace Cluster is made up of over 40 innovative partners including large companies, SMEs, universities, and public administration. (2) It participates in European programs like Copernicus and networks like NEREUS to support the regional space sector. (3) The space sector in Madrid has grown significantly over the past 5 years, with revenues increasing 64% and employment growing 33%, showing over half of Spanish aerospace activity is concentrated in the region.

In this deck from the HPC User Forum at Argonne, Jean-Marc Denis presents: EuroHPC - The European Strategy for Supercomputing. "The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking is a 1 billion Euro joint initiative between the EU and European countries to develop a World Class Supercomputing Ecosystem in Europe. EuroHPC will permit the EU and participating countries to coordinate their efforts and share resources with the objective of deploying in Europe a world-class supercomputing infrastructure and a competitive innovation ecosystem in supercomputing technologies, applications and skills."
