<br>
Peter Löwe is there every year and organizes OSGeo events - this year <br>
weil be an OSGeo Lunch Event<br>
<br>
Do you know about anyone that would like to go and support Peter and <br>
show some more presence.<br>
<br>
If not in 2020 maybe next year could be interesting<br>

> The technologies to access metadata and repository catalogues were<br>
> developed alongside with the emergence of the internet. XML is fairly<br>
> verbose and its mark-up adds a lot of bulk to the data payload, which<br>
> is<br>
> manageable with catalogues containing thousands to millions of<br>
> entries,<br>
> but becomes a significant burden once catalogues scale to billions of<br>
> entries.<br>
> <br>
> Indexing the Internet at large led to the development of lightweight<br>
> encodings based on JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data<br>
> (JSON-LD).<br>
> Leveraging web architecture patterns around structured data for the<br>
> web<br>
> gives access to the semantic web and ways to encode the context around<br>
> data. This makes building a multi-domain network far easier. In<br>
> addition, the use of web architecture allows third parties access use<br>
> and provide offerings based on the open, well-known architecture.<br>
> <br>
> This session will discuss how web architectures can be used to make<br>
> metadata and repository catalogues available on a gigascale.<br>

> In recent years, the number of Earth and environmental research data<br>
> repositories has increased markedly, and so has their range of<br>
> maturities and capabilities to integrate into the ecosystem of modern<br>
> scientific communication. Efforts such as the FAIR Data Principles,<br>
> the<br>
> CoreTrustSeal Certification for the trustworthiness of research data<br>
> repositories, and the Enabling FAIR Data Commitment Statement have<br>
> raised expectations we have towards the capabilities of research data<br>
> repositories. How do we know which ones meet these benchmarks and<br>
> future<br>
> expectations? What are the challenges and appropriate strategies?<br>
> <br>
> This session seeks submissions from any research data repository for<br>
> Earth and environmental science data. It aims to showcase the range of<br>
> practices in research data repositories, data publication and the<br>
> integration of data, software and samples into the scholarly<br>
> publication<br>
> process. The session invites repositories to discuss challenges they<br>

> Data science, analytics and visualization technologies and methods<br>
> emerge as significant capabilities for extracting insight from the<br>

> advancement<br>
> of these capabilities no doubt helps address a number of challenges<br>
> and<br>
> present new opportunities in improving Earth and Space science data<br>
> usability. This session will highlight and discuss the novelty and<br>
> strength of these emerging fields and technologies of these<br>
> components,<br>
> and their trends. We invite papers and presentations to examine and<br>
> share the experience of:<br>
> <br>
> - What benefits they offer to Earth and Space Science<br>
> <br>
> - What science research challenges they address<br>
> <br>

> This session will look at the role of Free and Open Source Software<br>
> (FOSS) in the geosciences with a special emphasis on the<br>
> interoperability among established and developing FOSS-tools within<br>
> geoinformatics. The session will be a forum for the latest advances in<br>
> FOSS-empowered research, for successful applications of existing FOSS<br>
> tools for geoscientific tasks, as well as for new developments in<br>
> geoscience related to FOSS.<br>
> <br>
> Software is critical to the success of science. Creating and using<br>
> FOSS<br>
> fosters contributions from the scientific community, creates a<br>
> peer-reviewed and consensus oriented environment, and promotes<br>
> sustainability of science infrastructures.<br>
> <br>
> Providing open access to source code also permits reuse of data,<br>
> reproducibility of science, and creates scientific transparency. Open<br>
> science is only possible when access to data is open, and data is<br>
> analysed using open source software. This requires taking<br>
> responsibility<br>
> for software development, and adopting stewardship practices for<br>
> managing, processing and disseminating scientific data products and<br>
> related services. We will also discuss the review, publication and<br>
> citation of scientific free and open source software as part of the<br>
> general record of science and as part of the track record of the<br>
> scientists who create or apply FOSS tools in their research.<br>

> - new data storage or transmission solutions sending data from the<br>

> An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an<br>
> aircraft without a human pilot aboard. Originating mostly from<br>
> military<br>
> applications, their use is rapidly expanding to commercial,<br>
> recreational, agricultural, and scientific applications. Unlike manned<br>
> aircraft, UAVs were initially used for missions too "dull, dirty, or<br>
> dangerous" for humans. Nowadays however, many modern scientific<br>
> experiments have begun to use UAVs as a tool to collect different<br>
> types<br>
> of data. Their flexibility and relatively simple usability now allow<br>
> scientist to accomplish tasks that previously required expensive<br>
> equipment like piloted aircrafts, gas, or hot air balloons. Even the<br>
> industry has begun to adapt and offer extensive options in UAV<br>
> characteristics and capabilities. At this session, we would like<br>
> people<br>
> to share their experience in using UAVs for scientific research. We<br>
> are<br>
> interested to hear about specific scientific tasks accomplished or<br>
> attempted, types of UAVs used, and instruments deployed.<br>
