The proliferation of REST [1] as an architectural style as well as OpenAPI [2] has resulted in broader adoption of a leaner service contract and the OGC developing a new generation of API specifications in support of discovery, access, visualization and processing of geospatial data [3]. These efforts are aimed to lower the barrier to implementation, especially for mass-market/non-geospatial developers. pygeoapi [4] is an OGC Reference Implementation compliant with the OGC API - Features specification. Implemented in Python, pygeoapi supports many other OGC APIs via the Flask web framework and a fully integrated OpenAPI structure. Lightweight, easy to deploy and cloud-ready, pygeoapi's architecture facilitates publishing datasets and processes from multiple sources. Implementations of other OGC APIs are in progress for the 1.0 roadmap, including gridded/coverage data (OGC API - Coverages), search (OGC API - Records), and vector/map tiles (OGC API - Tiles). pygeoapi is a community project of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo). pygeoapi follows a clear separation structure with a view, provider/plugin and entry point module. The view approach allows for easy integration with other Python web frameworks like Starlette and Django. The provider abstracts connectivity to numerous data sources (CSV, SQLite3, GeoJSON, Elasticsearch, GDAL/OGR) and provides extensibility to support additional formats, databases, object storage and more. This presentation will provide an overview of pygeoapi, roadmap and possibilities for GeoNode integration.

In this presentation, I will begin with background on the concept of crowdsourced georeferencing—a strategy used by many historical map archives to enhance their digital collections. By supporting map georeferencing in a browser-based platform, the labor-intensive process of transforming each scan in a large institutional collection can be distributed among interested members of the public. For my current masters degree research, I am using GeoNode as the basis for my own contribution to this field. By creating an extension on GeoNode that provides a georeferencing interface, users will be able to turn Documents (scanned historical maps) into Layers (GeoTIFFs/WMS). I will share details about my technical strategies and progress thus far. I see great potential for a fully open source and modern tech stack like GeoNode (and its constituent parts) to not only support crowdsourced georeferencing, but also build small “georeferencing communities” through user interaction and collaboration.

Despite enjoying the freedoms of open-source software as a user, many developers may not have experience actually contributing to an open source project. As one such user, and possessing no prior knowledge of GIS, GeoNode 3 became my first contribution to an open-source platform, let alone an open-source geospatial platform. My involvement includes the upgrade from the Python 2- based application to the present-day version and continues to this day with full PostGIS integration right around the corner. This talk will focus on my journey to becoming a free and open-source software developer, the challenges I encountered and opportunities I was given. I will share my perspective on becoming a FOSS developer on an international project while working remotely from my home in New Zealand. In doing so, I aim to highlight and discuss my ideas to make open- source technologies more accessible for future contributors.

Recent developments in the field of research data infrastructures (RDIs) have shown that efficient management of geodata for researchers and their projects becomes increasingly important. Besides the storage, discovery and presentation of classic geodata (raster, vector), additional data types will come into focus. While GeoNode is already suitable for managing aforementioned classic geodata, an integration of (near real-time) sensor and time series datasets (e.g. air quality, agriculture,water management, traffic,) can provide benefits for researchers, data scientists as well as the GeoNode software landscape. In this short presentation we outline a possible integration of OGC-compliant 52°North Open Source software solutions (i.e. OGC Sensor Observation Service and SensorThings API). Besides a short technological demonstration of existing software components, we conceptualize initial ideas on possible integration patterns as well as key interfaces for a successful realization.

The GEMex was a 3 year and half project on a cooperation in Geothermal energy research between Europe-Mexico for development of two different geothermal areas in a complementary effort of a European consortium with a corresponding consortium from Mexico.The GEMex project focused on these three pillars on both areas: i) resource assessment, ii) Reservoir characterization and iii) concept development. Geothermal data, in the form of maps, datasets and models were organized and collected in an open access database and made available in a spatial data infrastructure according to international standards and protocols.The GeoNode Open Source Geospatial Content Management System was chosen as web-based application to deploy the GEMex spatial data infrastructure. To this aim, beside the GeoNode system installation and configuration initially at the version2.4, a procedure to prepare the datasets and the metadata was defined to facilitate and speed-up the datasets uploading. In order to maximize the discovery effectiveness, some specific categories were created on the platform as geology, geochemistry, geophysics, modelling because related to the main produced datasets. At the end of the project, more than 120 different datasets were stored as layers into the GeoNode platform (migrated to the 3.1 version) and 15 maps were created to combine different layer by study area or theme. The geological and geophysical cross-section vector layers were even prepared embedding in their attribute table the URL of the cross-section images, which they could be accessed directly by click on the getFeatureInfo box. Researchers belonging to the project consortium took the advantage of this kind of tool to easily share and get needed datasets for their research activity but even Mexican SME interested in geothermal business has used and are using the Open Access Database. This contribution can be classified as case study and it is aimed to describe how GeoNode was used for a EU Geothermal project.
