<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div>We would like to invite you to the free online workshop “<strong><a href="https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/elise-european-location-interoperability-solutions-e-government/event/elise-workshop-smart-data-loader-and-templating-geoserver" target="_blank">Smart Data Loader and Templating for GeoServer</a>”</strong> to be held on <strong>February 11th at 14h00 CET (UTC+1)</strong>. This workshop was created in partnership with our colleagues from <em>DataCove e.U.</em> and <em>BRGM/ “INSIDE – environmental information systems research center”</em> in context of the API4INSPIRE study under <a href="https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/elise-european-location-interoperability-solutions-e-government/glossary/term/european-location-interoperability-solutions-e-government" target="_blank">ELISE</a> action. <br></div><div><br></div>The workshop will cover the new enhancements that have been implemented in <b><a href="http://geoserver.org/" target="_blank">GeoServer</a></b> to empower even more the <strong>publishing of INSPIRE data sets through GeoServer OGC services, including the new OGC API – Features</strong>. We will also demonstrate <strong>the next generation of </strong>GeoServer <strong>data mapping tools</strong> that offer an <em><span>What You See Is What You Get</span></em> (WYSIWYG) approach.<div><br></div><div>Going into more details, we will cover:</div><div>

<ul style="text-align:justify"><li><strong>Smart Data Loader</strong>: In contrast to the existing GeoServer App
Schema configuration, where in-depth knowledge of the target data model
is essential for configuration, under Smart Data Loader the structure
of the data to be exposed is dependent purely on the underlying data
source; a schema is generated mimicking the native database structure,
and the data exposed in accordance. During configuration, starting from
an initial table, the user can interactively specify to which depth the
associated data will be nested, pruning those aspects that need not be
externalized. The output of this step is made available via OGC API – Features, to be further refined via Feature Templating.</li></ul>
<ul style="text-align:justify"><li><strong>Feature Templating</strong>: Feature
templating is where we align the output of the Smart Data Loader
described above with the data models users are expecting. Here we’ve
opted for a WYSIWYG approach, allowing the user to start with the final
target, e.g., a simple JSON example, and then specify where the data
content is to be taken from, e.g., an existing endpoint configured
either via Smart Data Loader or also via the more traditional App
Schema. With this templating approach, it becomes very simple to provide
different profiles on one data source, each tailored to the needs of a
specific community. At present templates can be specified in GeoJSON and
JSON-LD; future work will extend this to XML (GML) and HTML. This is demonstrated in the video above.</li></ul>
