Edge Matching Service Milestone 4
The Edge Matching Service (EMS) Milestone 4 has been released and published in the HUMBOLDT community web site. This service is compliant to OGC Web Processing Service 1.0.0. This is one of the processing components defined within the HUMBOLDT Framework and it aligns edges and points of vector geometries so that they will be gapless.
More information about the EMS scope can be found here.
A packed version of the EMS can be download here.
The user documentation is available on the HUMBOLDT Community Website.

Open Source Humboldt Software
Going public – Milestone 1: The technical goal of HUMBOLDT is to support SDI enablement by providing the functionalities for covering the data hamonisation process as a whole. The developments are built on current state of the art and standards and it is possible to make use of single functionalities as part of your own infrastructure. The methodological framework of HUMBOLDT is supported by a Harmonisation Toolkit and a Service Integration Framework. All HUMBOLDT developments will be available as Open Source Software, released under the LGPL 3.0 license. The first set of components is now available for free download to get involved as tester or developer: http://community.esdi-humboldt.eu.

Humboldt Scenario Mid-term call launched – Humboldt partners are encouraged to propose additional scenario development
An essential element of the Humboldt project is the development of scenarios in which the different Humboldt components are applied and tested under realistic conditions. These scenarios are based on applications in different environment-related use cases. The scenarios are both a test bed and a community-driven research environment, which assist in the development and promotion of the project's objectives.
Currently, the following application scenarios are being addressed by the Humboldt partnership. They are organized along the core themes defined for GMES:
- Border Security: Enabling Effective Border Control and Security in Rural Areas
- Urban Planning: European Urban Management Information Systems
- Forest: Saxony & Czech Cross-Border Forest Scenario
- Planning: Management of Protected Areas of Regional Parks
- ERiskA: Environmental Risk
- Water: Water Management
- Ocean: Oil/Contaminants spill crisis impact and management
- Galileo: GALILEO Integration for Atmospheric Data Distribution
The Midterm Scenario Call is a strategic instrument, designed especially to strengthen the scenario work through the co-operation with other existing initiatives in the project partners' environment. Provided funding aims at support collaboration and the maximization of the use of Humboldt results in different areas of application. The overall goal of the Midterm Scenario Call is to achieve a high actuality and high flexibility within the project. Successful evaluation of partners' proposals is bound to the criteria as stated in the official call, article 5.
Limited opportunity for involvement of new partners
Collaboration with EXTERNAL PARTNERS may be considered in particular cases if required by a consortium partner in order to meet the overall evaluation criteria of the call. If you are interested in collaboration, please contact Mr David Ludlow <david.ludlow@uwe.ac.uk> for any advice in terms of content and strategy.

INSPIRE CONFERENCE (23.-25. June) features Humboldt workshop on Data Harmonisation
Data harmonisation, being one of the key aspects of INSPIRE, is also a core topic of the Humboldt project, which aims at developing processes and tools for data harmonisation. Humboldt partners have considerable experience in spatial data modelling, data and metadata management and have already participated in European data harmonisation projects. As one of the first steps of the Humboldt project, a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art in data harmonisation and data management was undertaken. Key questions to be discussed during the workshop include:
- What are the main data harmonisation requirements of INSPIRE?
- Which are the main data harmonisation issues that were identified in previous cross-border SDI projects?
- Which approaches were taken to tackle these issues (e.g. data harmonisation processes, creation of common data models, methods and languages for the specification of mapping rules, tools for mapping source models to target models?)
- Can best practices be identified in the above mentioned areas?
Further info on speakers and presenters will follow soon. For this year's conference full programme, please refer to the official event website.
