This is Emit #2, in a series of blog-posts around the Smart Emission Platform , an Open Source software component framework that facilitates the acquisition, processing and (OGC web-API) unlocking of spatiotemporal sensor-data, mainly for Air Quality. In Emit #1 , the big picture of the platform was sketched. …

One of my new year’s resolutions for 2018 was to “blog more”. Not being very active on the well-known social media: a bit tired of Twitter, never really into Facebook, bit of LinkedIn. OSGeo mailing lists , GitHub and Gitter is where you can find me most (thanks Jody, for reminding!). And I read many blogs, especially …

TL;DR: see this GitHub issue for summary (Dutch but the pictures there and Figure 1 tell the story). Somewhere around 1995, building my first website, it was already quite a feat to embed images. Non-aware of image-formats I played with (animated!) GIF and JPEG. Naively image-editing I noticed that my JPEGs became …

As far as Open geo-data is concerned, the Netherlands goes through prosperous times: country-wide datasets for detailed topography (BRT , BGT ), buildings and addresses (BAG ), 0.5m elevation data (AHN2 ) and many more are available for download. Even 3D-versions for several of these datasets are upcoming. These and …
