Genesis of the project
- Consortium established on active research, commercial, and personal interactions
- Consortium members are active contributors to Free and Open Source Geospatial Software
- Idea based on practical experience (2010-) from geodata.gov.gr and our interaction with users,publishers and SMEs
Why PublicaMundi?
- Imago Mundi
- Image of the World, Babylonian world map
- Maps, created by cartographers and geographers
- PublicaMundi
- Image of the World, based on Open Data
- Maps, created by open knowledge and FOSS

Experiences and Problems
Reoccurring practical problems in open geospatial data reuse:
- Data formats/CRS
- Web maps
- Interlink
- Translations
- Publishing
- OGC/INSPIRE documents not for all
Goals
Research and develop methodologies, as well as scalable, reusable tools to facilitate:
- the publication
- discovery
- and reuse
|
of open geospatial data
Goals
- Open data catalogues fully supporting publishing, curation and management lifecycle of geospatial data
- Interlinking of geospatial data and multilinguality support in a cross-boundary context
- Scalable technologies and services to create and reuse on-demand maps from open geospatial data
- Analytics to accurately monitor the usage of open geospatial data
- Scalable technologies and reusable data APIs supporting querying, processing, and analysis of open geospatial data
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
- It's a prerequisite for Big Data and Cloud Computing
- Everybody uses FOSS today, even without knowing it
CKAN
An abbreviation for “Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network”
Open Source web platform for publishing and sharing data with impressive deployment history:
PublicaMundi and FOSS
- Based on CKAN open data catalogue
- PublicaMundi will spatially extend CKAN using OGC standards
- Development is based exclusively on the OSGeo stack
Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo)
Since 2006 A Non Profit Umbrella for:
- GeoSpatial Free and Open Source Software
- Education
- Open Data
OSGeoLive
- GNU/Linux distribution
- 60+ Open Source Geospatial Applications
- Sample Datasets
- Consistent Overviews & Quickstarts
- Translations
- Unfortunately Big Data do not fit on a 4GB DVD...
