After four years, the MINKE project comes to an end. Check out the final Newsletter, in which various team members reflect and report on their accomplishments.
52°North explains work on data harmonization and the integration of sensor quality data into large scale research data infrastructures with help of the emerging OGC API – Connected Systems.
Interoperability and Collaboration from Oceans to Space
The Testbed-19 Demonstration Days is an online event on Janaury 16 and 17, 2024. The event showcases working demonstrations of the new levels of location interoperability developed during Testbed 19 across its 6 topics. The two days focus on demonstrations and related deliverables from core areas in Testbed 19, including their future needs and potential challenges. In this event, OGC Members present the outcomes of 2023’s biggest research and development initiative. 52°North’s Benjamin Proß presents 52°North’s development of an Executable Test Suite (ETS) for the TEAM Engine test framework as part of the GeoDataCubes thread.
11:15 – 13:00 GeoDataCubes (GDC): a demonstration of the newly developed GDC API and metadata model, tested against real-world use-cases, including a number of client applications for both data access and advanced visualization.
The entire water cycle comprising oceans, seas, coastal, ground and inland water is under high (human) pressure. For this reason, the restoration and protection of our oceans and waters is one of the five EU missions that must be completed by 2030. There is no need to say that this requires research resulting in a number of heterogenous research data products that include hydrology, biodiversity, and socio-economic data. Making such data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (so-called FAIR Principles) is where the EU-funded research project AquaINFRA comes into play.
