[Qgis-user] 104 layers global coverage into QGIS ... Re: Plugin Installation Issue: OpenLayers &

[Falk Huettmann]

Dear Colleagues,

we currently have compiled 104 GIS layers open access, worldwide, on a 1km
pixel scale as tiffs.

These are habitat, climate and socio-economic data from various sources.

It's currently with a manuscript in review (see here in the appendix, if
interested
http://www.earth-syst-sci-data-discuss.net/essd-2016-65/).
It's a pre-print for public review with the ESSD journal.

Anyways,
my questions to you are:
-how can those data be served best to support QGIS, e.g. as a package or
plugin,
 and is that needed and wanted ?
-what other data sources of that level exist and how to co-arrange ?
-how to make it dynamic so that other people can add and contribute +
update ?

Another (species) data source is GBIF.org (an R package exist there but a
QGIS one would be  a most excellent idea, e.g. to wrestle the entire data
set in one shot!).
Movebank is another one, but it's certainly not Open Access; too bad on
them.

(I am sure you have seen the Antarctic version of QGIS with data, run from
Norway).

Funding remains a key question to get this done; my guess.
Perhaps the Academies of Sciences can take that on, serving the wider
public,
for a change ?

Happy to learn your thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks so much; kind regards
     Falk Huettmann
