Newsletter March 2025, no. 5
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.
The EGU General Assembly 2025 takes place from April 27 – May 2, 2025 in Vienna, Austria. It brings together geoscientists from all over the world and covers all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. 52°North presents a portfolio of work on emerging Sensor Web technologies, Research Data Infrastructures and Data Spaces. Check out the presentations and posters throughout the week.

52°North awards the Student Innovation Prize to Simeon Wetzel for a successful implementation of his concept for geodata search and discovery in SDIs.
The latest edition of the 52°North Student Innovation Prize has rewarded the proposal and implementation of “LLM-based Assistants for Data Discovery in SDIs” by Simeon Wetzel, a PhD student at the TU Dresden. It presents an innovative approach to overcome existing challenges in geospatial metadata search architectures.
Innovation Prize winner Simeon Wetzel presents results of his work on implementing geospatial data search and discovery in RDIs.
Simeon Wetzel presents his concept using Large Language Models as well as AI/ML patterns to automatically derive meaningful metadata from data sets. Participants have the opportunity to examine the Technologies and exchange ideas.
