HUMBOLDT at the INSPIRE Conference 2010

This year's INSPIRE Conference will take place from 22nd to 25th June 2010 in Krakow, Poland. The theme is "INSPIRE as a Framework for Cooperation".

HUMBOLDT will be represented in the workshop "Data Harmonisation in the HUMBOLDT Scenarios and the HUMBOLDT Training Framework" which is scheduled for Tuesday 22nd of June 2010, at 4:00 p.m. The goal of this workshop is to present the HUMBOLDT potentiality in different application contexts ("Scenarios"), as a training session offered to the user communities of the HUMBOLDT data harmonisation tools, as well as for the communities of GMES and INSPIRE. The workshop will also present the HUMBOLDT Training Framework, addressed to the practical use of the project's outcomes, paying special attention to training dealing with data harmonisation experiences in different domains and in real world conditions.

In relation to this HUMBOLDT workshop a questionnaire for HUMBOLDT Scenario Evaluation (login required) has been prepared. Your feedback is important for us in order to reveal different point of views about the HUMBOLDT Framework and its associated scenarios by the INSPIRE, GMES and related communities who are not directly involved in the HUMBOLDT project. To this end, the aim of the questionnaire is to inventory benefits and relevance of HUMBOLDT scenario applications to specific communities and similar subjects / initiatives.

On Thursday 24th of June 2010, at 4:00 p.m. in the session on "New and evolving tools and technologies" the paper "Integrating spatial data integration: An Architecture for Complex Transformation Services" by Thorsten Reitz, Daniel Fitzner (both Fraunhofer IGD, Germany), Marian de Vries (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) and Ana Belen Antón Gironés (ETRA Research and Development, Spain) will be presented.

Furthermore, the paper "Data Harmonisation Put into Practice by the HUMBOLDT Project," by Astrid Fichtinger, Ulrich Schäffler (both Technische Universität München, Germany), Joachim Rix, Simone Scherer (both Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany) and Moses Gone (Fraunhofer IGD, Germany) will be presented on Friday 25th of June 2010, 12:00 a.m. in the session "Trans-national SDI projects".

Our partner projects eSDI-NET+, NATURESDIPlus, plan4all, [GS Soil, [VESTA-GIS will also be represented on the INSPIRE conference, either by workshops or paper presentations. For further information on this subject, please visit the INSPIRE Conferece website where you can find the INSPIRE Workshop programme and the INSPIRE Conference programme.

6th GIScience

Zurich, Switzerland will be the host city of the 6th GIScience conference from September 14th-17th, 2010. Thorsten Reitz (Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt, Germany) will present his paper "A Mismatch Description Language for Conceptual Schema Mapping and its Cartographic Representation."

HUMBOLDT Final Event

In September 2010 the HUMBOLDT project will finalise in a two-day workshop event. The first day will be used for public training workshops on HUMBOLDT Tools and Services as well as Scenario Applications. More detailed information on this event will follow soon on the HUMBOLDT Website and in a separate communication.
