Humboldt provides open source software and tools for a broad variety of different user types, i.e. for data custodians as well as for end-users of spatial information.

Are you a software developer?: If you would you like to work on the Open Source Humboldt Framework directly or to implement software by integrating some of its components, the "Developing Software" section of the Community Website contains all information of your interest.
Are you offering geodata?: Do you take interest in the Humboldt Toolset to support your generic data harmonisation requirements and the data processing you are responsible for? Please have a look at the "Using Software" section of the Community Website where you can find all available tools and where you can stay informed about the current development status.
Do you have to work with heterogeneous geodata in your daily business?: If you need to combine various data sources and harmonise them to make use of them for a specific purpose, the Humboldt Toolset can serve your generic data harmonisation requirements and support data processing. Moreover, the Humboldt Framework can work as a basis for custom-made software. All information you need is available at the Humboldt Community Website.; Please take into your consideration also the Humboldt Application Scenarios that illustrate the benefits of using the Humboldt software.
Do you use geographical data or spatial information and are you facing problems related to data heterogeneity?: Please try the Humboldt Toolset available at the Community Website to meet your generic data harmonisation needs and also take a look at the Humboldt Application Scenarios which might match your activity area.

In case you do not find yourself described in one of the user groups above, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Humboldt also offers a Training Platform with courses available for free registration. The different course levels are targeted at users with different background and previous knowledge. Besides an optional entrance test on GIS theory and technical issues there are Level 1 courses on GMES, web services, metadata, concepts and standards as well as on data harmonisation in general. Level 2 courses embrace the Humboldt framework components and data harmonisation in Humboldt.

The Humboldt Newsletter keeps you informed about the ongoing activities and the project status. You can subscribe for the Newsletter here.

HUMBOLDT Open Day:
Data Harmonisation in Action
The HUMBOLDT Consortium invites you to the HUMBOLDT Open Day on September 28th, 2010 in Lisbon, Portugal. There, you will get an insight into the main outcomes and achievements of the project which has now entered its final phase. In co-operation with the VESTA-GIS project and co-located with a NATURESDIPlus Training Conference, the HUMBOLDT Open Day will present to you the feasibility and advantages of Spatial Data Infrastructures based on software tools and processes for data harmonisation. Host for both events is the Instituto Geográfico Português (IGP) from Portugal.

Feedback on Humboldt@INSPIRE 2010: Scenario Evaluation
Your feedback is very important for us in order to reveal different point of views about the Humboldt Framework and its associated scenarios by INSPIRE, GMES and related communities who are not directly involved in the Humboldt project. Therefore, a questionnaire for Humboldt Scenario Evaluation (no login required) has been prepared.
