'''Few words about me.'''

At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institute [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland. In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, dealing with watershed processes, soil erosion as well as application works on SDI and European INSPIRE directive. Recent 3 years I've been working at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium - more precisely in one of its research&development units - Spatial Applications Division Leuven ([http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']) [[User:SADL]]: . I was dealing with FOSS4G within two projects:

*till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director
*FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']
**training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#FOSS link]
**training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#WorkshopWMS link]

In late 2008 I become involved in the SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).

 My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

 I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI combined with the poor availability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market, diminishing the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.

Leuven] in Belgium - more precisely in one of its research&development units - Spatial Applications Division Leuven ([http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']) [[User:SADL]]: . I was dealing with FOSS4G within two projects:

*till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director
*FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']
**training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#FOSS link]
**training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#WorkshopWMS link]

In late 2008 I become involved in the SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).

 My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

 I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI combined with the poor availability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market, diminishing the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.

At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institute [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland. In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, dealing with ICT in agriculture, agricultural irrigation, new fertilizers, agroforestry, watershed processes, soil erosion as well as application works on SDI and European INSPIRE directive. Recently I was coordinating IUNG's team within the ENORASIS project aimed at developing an innovative irrigation DSS for farmers and advisors. I had the pleasure to be co-author of its core DSS component. I was also responsible for work package addressing pilot implementation of irrigation optimization system, based partially upon the open source SOS Server by Maxi Cannata from SUPSI (CH). I am the co-owner of Aquastatus irrigation DSS.

In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, dealing with ICT in agriculture, agricultural irrigation, new fertilizers, agroforestry, watershed processes, soil erosion as well as application works on SDI and European INSPIRE directive. Recently I was coordinating IUNG's team within the ENORASIS project aimed at developing an innovative irrigation DSS for farmers and advisors. I had the pleasure to be co-author of its core DSS component. I was also responsible for work package addressing pilot implementation of irrigation optimization system, based partially upon the open source SOS Server by Maxi Cannata from SUPSI (CH). I am the co-owner of Aquastatus irrigation DSS.

In the years 2004-2005 and 2007-2010 I've been working at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium - more precisely in one of its research&development units - Spatial Applications Division Leuven ([http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']) [[User:SADL]]: . I was dealing with FOSS4G within two projects:

*till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director
*FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']
**training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#FOSS link]
**training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#WorkshopWMS link]

In late 2008 I become involved in the SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).

 My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: ICT in agriculture, sofwtare architectures, software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

 I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI combined with the poor availability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market, diminishing the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.

===Compare ArcGIS against Open Source GIS Desktop===

''September 2009'' http://gothos.info/resource_files/fpd_libhitech_foss_gis_march2010.pdf

Compares ArcGIS against GRASS, QGIS, uDig, gvSIG,OpenJUMP, and MapWindow for the Library domain.

: "Each of the individual FOSS GIS packages had their own particular strengths and weaknesses and some performed well for thematic mapping. The FOSS packages generally were weaker compared to ArcGIS in terms of support for various projection and coordinate systems, joining attribute data to GIS files, and automatic labeling, but their advantage is that they were free in terms of cost and licensing restrictions. When coupled with plug-ins and helper applications the viability of the FOSS GIS packages increased."

===Email threads discussing merits and disadvantages of OSGeo Desktop===

'''18 April 2008: [http://lists.burri.to/pipermail/geowanking/2008-April/thread.html Geowanking: ArcView 3.1 replacement]'''

"[Oxford Archaeology] are looking at gvsig and qgis as the main options [for ArcGIS], gvsig because it can use cad data, and qgis because we like the grass integration and it's slightly more user-friendly for english speakers (the translated version of gvsig still has some spanish bits in it). With slight changes to our work-flows, we are finding that these two packages will do almost everything we need a gis to do, with the exception of producing high-quality illustrations. To achieve this we are currently looking at export to svg or postscript for final editing in inkscape, but that's a work in progress."

'''24 April 2008: [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2008-April/thread.html OSGeo-Discuss: Can I do the same GIS tasks with OS (as with ESRI)?]'''

This email thread provides numerous opinions for and against using Open Source Geospatial Software.

[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2008-April/003458.html Paul Ramsey notes there is not a direct Open Source replacement for Arc View]:

''I think it's contingent on us as evangelizers to not over-sell. I
would not recommend QGIS or any other open source desktop to someone
whose prior experience was Arc* until I had a clear understanding of
the use case. In response to the query "can I replace ArcView with
open source", my answer is "in general, no, but maybe for a specific
use case".''

[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2008-April/003453.html John Callahan provides a good summary]:

''I've been an ESRI user (AV 3.x, ArcGIS 8/9, ArcIMS, ArcGIS Server, ArcSDE) for 12+ years and have recently started exploring FOSS software. And I haven't disagreed with any of the responses so far. You will definitely need multiple programs to do what a single ESRI program can do. IMO, this is a good thing. One of the main reasons for my migration is I'm tired of running large, complicated, expensive software and all the extra baggage that comes with it to use only 10% of what the software can do. (see ArcGIS Server.)''

''You can do all the analysis and more of ArcGIS Desktop and extensions using GRASS, QGIS, SAGA, GeoTools, GDAL/OGR, PROJ4, or R Statistics along with a programming language like Python, Java or others. (IMO, this is a better solution than ESRI.) You can do just about anything you want on the web server end with MapServer, GeoServer, FeatureServer (and maybe TileCache or GeoNetwork for metadata) with any of a dozen or more clients (OpenLayers, ka-Map, MapGuide etc...). And you can do a lot of database work with Postgres/PostGIS, a much simpler, less costly solution than ArcSDE+RDBMS. And I wouldn't count out the role of free, non-open source packages like Google products and Oracle Express (11g should have Spatial included.)''

''From my experience (limited in the FOSS world), I have found three basic hurdles:
# ''Cartography. Whether on the screen, PDF outputs, or print publications, ArcMap is easy and looks great. (Although R Statistics produces better looking charts and graphs than ArcGIS.)''
# ''Versioned editing. This is important for groups with multiple concurrent editors or that has a particular hierarchical workflow with their GIS data.''
# ''Storage and serving of very large (50+ GB) raster datasets. PostGIS does not support rasters yet; Oracle Spatial does though. I'm still not sure if storing rasters in a database is a good idea but ArcSDE sure makes it easy, and with good performance when used in conjunction with other ESRI products.''

"... Postgres performs better than Oracle 11g both in the Cold Phase and Warm Phase. Though in few queries Oracle 11g performed better but on the whole Postgres overpowered Oracle 11g. In the warm phase in 3 out of 4 queries Postgres performed significantly well, from this we can conclude that Postgres has better automatic memory management capabilities and page replacement policies... On the whole it is the open-source that wins the game!"

===PostGIS versus MySQL Spatial===
June 2009

In speed, PostGIS wins but not by orders of magnitude. The amount of functionality in MySQL Spatial remains very very small. You can do simple store-and-retrieve operations. Many of the spatial operations that are standard in full spatial databases don’t exist or are (confusingly, as some users have commented) stubbed out against bounding box tests instead.

The EU Digital Agenda for Europe initiative supports the SEIS principle aiming to generate information sharing through common, free, open source software. For example, an EU legal framework for licensing open source software now exists (ISA EUPL) and governments are increasingly keen to develop its use. Actions under the EU Digital Agenda are creating a safer and better-performing digital environment, improving access conditions and interoperability and stimulating the growth of cross-border e-Government services. The open source and open data movement offers significant opportunities for further developing the SEIS but
more open-source empowered applications ensuring compatibility across Member States will be needed for managing and sharing environmental information

Open Data

1. Ministries must take steps to expand public access to government data by making it available online unless restricted by law, contract or policy.

2. Ministries must re-prioritize and expand data collection efforts towards those that enable citizens and sectors to create value from government data.

3. Ministries must adopt B.C.'s open license for data and ensure data accessibility through DataBC in accordance with B.C.'s Open Data Policy, which includes the requirement that data be published in an open machine-readable format.

4. DataBC must ensure that citizens can give feedback on and assessment of the quality of published information and provide input to which data should be prioritized for publication.

Open Information

1. To the extent practicable and subject to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) and other valid restrictions, ministries should use modern technology to disseminate useful information in a routine way rather than waiting for specific requests under FOIPPA.

==South Africa==
The South African Government through its Open Source Project Office and the State IT Agency (SITA) is active with open source and interoperability policy development and implementation.

Browse and download most of the important documents '''[http://www.gissa.org.za/special-interest-groups/open-source/folder_contents HERE]'''.

The South African FOSS Policy which was approved in 2007 urges government to implement FOSS:
*'''Choose FOSS''': The South African government will implement FOSS unless proprietary software proves to be significantly superior. Whenever the advantages of FOSS and proprietary software are comparable FOSS will be implemented when choosing a software solution for a new project. Whenever FOSS is not implemented, then reasons must be provided to justify implementing proprietary software.
*'''Use FOSS/Open Content Licensing''': The South African government will ensure all government content and content developed using government resources is made Open Content, unless analysis on specific content shows that proprietary licensing or confidentiality is substantially beneficial.
*'''Develop in FOSS''': All new software developed for or by the South African government will be based on open standards, adherent to FOSS principles, and be licensed using a FOSS license where possible.
*'''Migrate to FOSS''': The South African government will migrate current proprietary software to FOSS whenever comparable software exists.
*'''Promote FOSS in South Africa''': The South African government will encourage the use of Open Content and Open Standards within South Africa. They will encourage the use of Open Content and Open Standards.

''From the [http://www.osor.eu/studies/norwegian-mapping-authority OSOR News item] published Mar 24, 2010''

The Norwegian Mapping Authority (Statens Kartverk) is the central organisation for the provision of mapping images to most public bodies and organisations in Norway. After experiencing a vast increase in requests for their services in 2006 and 2007, the Mapping Authority also had to deal with an increasingly overstrained IT infrastructure. The licenses for their infrastructure however were very costly, and acquiring additional licenses would only increase the financial burden consistently in the future. The Mapping Authority therefore chose to employ an IT infrastructure based on open source software solutions, which were free of licensing costs and which proved to be much better, performance wise. In the process of introducing the new IT infrastructure, the team had to build up own expertise in order to maintain a functioning system. With the help of online communities, this has been a great success for the Mapping Authority.

=Why write a Case Study?=
A case study discusses how a specific situation was identified, which solutions were investigated and selected, and a summary of the results.

Solution architects use relevant case studies to support a solution they are building.

Writing a case study about your project gives others the confidence to follow in your footsteps which in turn increases investment in your tools of choice. Publishing your experience gives '''positive feedback''' to those involved in your project, reinforcing your success, encouraging colleagues to take on additional challenges, allowing the project to continue to grow.

We would like to see case studies which cover a range of use cases, especially from organizations with a low risk tolerance. Many organizations approach Open Source in little steps gradually integrating it with existing infrastructure and find targeted small case studies valuable.

=What to write?=

One to three pages is good, with a graphic per page.

The case study should cover:
* Date
* Problem
* Evaluations
* Implementation, including integration with other infrastructure
* Problems faced and how they were overcome
* Return on Investment
* Future plans
* Who else might benefit from your experience

</div>

== About ==
A spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is a data infrastructure implementing a framework of geographic data, metadata, users and tools that are interactively connected in order to use spatial data in an efficient and flexible way. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_data_infrastructure Wikipedia:SDI]

OSGeo considers usability of OSGeo software for implementation of various SDIs an important feature for future businesses.

=== Software components of SDIs ===
Basic software components of SDI are:

* catalogue service
* spatial data service
* processing services
* spatial data repository

* Client software (desktop and web) communicates via standards to those services, which interacts directly with the user. It enables download, display, query, analysis and updating spatial data.

OSGeo projects cover all these software components. Some of them are covered by multiple OSGeo projects

=== Standards ===
Most of SDIs are related to OGC standards (OGC OWS) as well as ISO. They are all well implemented in OSGeo projects.

=== Current SDIs ===
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOSS GEOSS] Global Earth Observation System of Systems. 2005-2015
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMES GMES] Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. Should be fully operational during 2014

'''Few words about me.'''

At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institute [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland. In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, dealing with watershed processes, soil erosion as well as application works on SDI and European INSPIRE directive. Recent 3 years I've been working at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium - more precisely in one of its research&development units - Spatial Applications Division Leuven ([http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']) [[User:SADL]]: . I was dealing with FOSS4G within two projects:

*till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director
*FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']
**training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#FOSS link]
**training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#WorkshopWMS link]

In late 2008 I become involved in the SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).

 My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

 I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI combined with the poor availability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market, diminishing the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.

'''Few words about me.'''

At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institute [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland. In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, dealing with watershed processes, soil erosion as well as application works on SDI and European INSPIRE directive. Recent 3 years I've been working at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium - more precisely in one of its research&development units - Spatial Applications Division Leuven ([http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']) [[User:SADL]]: .

'''Site in development'''

[http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''Spatial Applications Division Leuven (SADL)'''] is an interdisciplinary R & D Division of the K.U.Leuven. R & D Divisions differ from other research groups because research is rather applied than fundamental and is performed in close collaboration with governments or companies.Divisions therefore are considered as transfer points between the university and the non-academic users.

The merging of two former R&D Divisions of the K.U.Leuven, namely Leuven Earth Observation (LEO) and Ground for GIS (GfG), resulted in SADL. Nowadays, SADL is a joint collaboration between six research groups or divisions:

* Research Group Urban and Regional Planning
* Division Soil and Water Management
* Division Forest, Nature and Landscape Research
* Division M3-BIORES: Measure, Model & Manage
* Social and Economic Geography Section
* Physical and Regional Geography Section
* ESAT - PSI, Centre for the Processing of Speech & Images

'''Mission'''

The mission of SADL is to improve the transfer of scientific knowledge and technology for Earth Observation and Spatial modelling like the management, analysis and the use of geographical data in the thematic areas of the different divisions.

'''Activities: GIS'''

SADL performs applied research in different areas : Mobility and Transport, Urban and Regional Planning, Soil and Water, Forest, Nature and Landscape, Agriculture and using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). GIS are software packages to process spatial data into information which is useful to support a wide variety of decisions.

SADL delivers consultancies on GIS and organises life long learning programs regarding various aspects of Geographical Information Systems (GIS).

'''Activities: SDI'''

SADL has 15 years long history of SDI related research and development. The Division has taken part in developing INSPIRE directive and is currently involved in the creation of INSPIRE Data Specifications.
Recently SADL is now involved in preparations for SEIS programme, within the NESIS network.

'''Activities: FOSS4G'''

FOSS4G gained importance and share in SADL's activities since 2004, as we started to use OSS web mapping tools: MapServer and Geoserver in our tool developments and consultancy.
Since 2006 we run regular courses on using FOSS4G for land evaluation, targeted to participants from developing countries. The course is financed by Flemish Inter-University Council under the Short Training Initiative programme (VLIR-KOI).
In 2007 SADL coordinates [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project: Development of a trans-national cascade training programme on Open Source GIS&RS Software for environmental applications.

'''Few '''[[Image:Avatar_rafwawer.jpg|border|left]]'''words about me.'''

At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institure [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland. In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, dealing with watershed processes, soil erosion as well as applicatory works on SDI and European INSPIRE directive. Recent 3 years I've been working at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium - more precisely in one of its research&development units - Spatial Applications Division Leuven ([http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']) [[User:SADL]]: . I was dealing with FOSS4G through two projects:

*till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director
*FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']
**training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#FOSS link]
**training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#WorkshopWMS link]

In late 2008 I become involved in the SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).

 My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

 I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI and also unavailability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market as well as diminish the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.

'''Few words about me.'''

At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institure [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland.
In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, dealing with watershed processes, soil erosion as well as applicatory works on SDI and European INSPIRE directive.
Recent 3 years I've been working at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium - more precisely in one of its research&development units - Spatial Applications Division Leuven ([http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']) [[User:SADL]]: . I was dealing with FOSS4G through two projects:
* till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director
* FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']
** training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#FOSS link]
** training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#WorkshopWMS link]

In late 2008 I become involved in the SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).

My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI and also unavailability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market as well as diminish the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.

'''Few words about me.'''

At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institure [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland and at the same time at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium.
In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, remaining officially on an unpayed leave. Most of the time I stay in Belgium, working till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director and some other FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL'''] (Spatial Applications Division Leuven, K.U. Leuven R&D) [[User:SADL]]:
* training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#FOSS link]
* training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#WorkshopWMS link]

Recently I got involved with SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).

My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI and also unavailability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market as well as diminish the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.

My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI and also unavailability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market as well as diminish the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.

Wiki-Huwer: discussion on the central theme

[[User:Huwer|Huwer]] 18:10, 4 October 2009 (UTC) central theme is an interesting idea, however requires IMO calls early in advance - I guess, the timing should be similiar to conference announcements (?). Will the case studies have to be grouped thematically each issue? Would it be better to release separate thematic issues, independently to normal course and timing of the Journal? They could be also scientific. (-:

Few words about me.

At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institure [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland and at the same time at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium.
In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, remaining officially on an unpayed leave. Most of the time I stay in Belgium, working till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director and some other FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL'''] (Spatial Applications Division Leuven, K.U.

Recently I got involved with SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).

My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]

Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland ([http://www.geostudio.pl www.geostudio.pl]). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI and also unavailability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market as well as diminish the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.
