- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In Italy, only around 10% of people who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survive. A large portion of OHCA events in public settings are characterized by an initial shockable rhythm, which requires prompt defibrillation. We aimed to create a system to quickly locate nearby public access automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on the campus of Sapienza University of Rome, the largest public university in Europe. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We developed the AED webMap through a 6-step process involving the: 1) collection of information and geographical coordinates for each AED from the university management system; 2) development of a new geolocation database; 3) integration of information contained in the new database with data provided by university departments; 4) geolocation of AEDs in the Google MyMaps environment; 5) graphic representation of all AEDs on digital map templates using specific symbols, with pop-ups containing additional information for each AED; and 6) publication of the webMap on the university website. RESULTS: The AED webMap was published on the university website (https://www.uniroma1. it/it/pagina/defibrillatori-sapienza-in-rete) and facilitates prompt identification of nearby AEDs by providing: 1) detailed AED geolocalization with interactive pop-up information for each AED, including whether the AED is located internally or externally; 2) the option to use different base maps (e.g., digital street map); 3) calculation and display of the route to reach the chosen AED; and 4) the possibility to migrate towards multiple platforms. CONCLUSIONS: The webMap can help bystanders quickly identify, locate, and reach nearby AEDs present on the campus of the largest public university in Europe, a measure that could help speed defibrillation and maximize the life-saving potential of AEDs in the event of OHCA.

From the concept of Smart City, an Intelligent Campus model is abstracted, supported by geoinformation and information and communication technologies to generate a tool to support mobility within the University Campus. The questions to be solved with the tool are: "where is it", and "how do I get to". Using a Campus of 100 hectares and 18 kilometers of paths and tracks arranged in a spatial database, a Geographic Information System is conceived and made available through the Internet as well as a mobile App. A graphical interface of its own so that users can access the application and through "three clicks" they build a question to the system and thus obtain their mobility response. After entering the parameters into the system, the response is built identifying the destination and how to get there, through a shortest route drawn it on the base map of the University, the distance between the origin-destination points and the travel time for a pedestrian. The GisWeb was developed using Geoserver as map server articulated with the Leaflet library for JavaScript, coupled to PostgreSQL database engine with the PostGIS plugin. As a result, a GIS-Web and a mobile application that works both online and offline for Android operating systems were built, by using Apache Cordova framework and Leaflet and framework7 as libraries. UVManos was the name given to the mobile and Web App, and it is a first step in the conception of an Intelligent Campus with which an entire university community is located and moves, facilitating their movement within the University.

QGIS is a free and open-source software that allows viewing, editing, and analyzing georeferenced data. It is a Geographic Information System (GIS) software composed by tools that allow to manipulate geographic information and consequently to create maps which help to get a better understanding and organization of geospatial data. Unfortunately, maps created directly in the GIS desktop software are not automatically transferred to a website. This research aimed to compare publishing capabilities in different QGIS plugins to create Web Maps. This study analyzes four QGIS plugins (QGIS2Web, QGIS Cloud, GIS Cloud Publisher and Mappia Publisher), performing a comparison between them, considering their advantages and disadvantages, the free and subscription plans, the tools offered by each plugin and other generic aspects. The four plugins were tested in a specific case study to automatically obtain differentWeb Maps. This study could help users to choose the most adequate tools to publishWeb Maps under QGIS software.

Las preguntas a resolver con la herramienta son: “en dónde queda”, y “cómo llego a”. Adoptando un Campus de 100 hectáreas y 18 kilómetros de caminos y vías, son dispuestos en una base de datos espacial para un Sistema de Información Geográfica y se dispone a través de una aplicación móvil y Web. Después de introducir los parámetros de la consulta al sistema, se construye la respuesta identificando el destino y cómo llegar a él, a través de la ruta más corta sobre el mapa base de la Universidad del Valle, la distancia entre los puntos origen-destino y el tiempo de recorrido para un peatón entre ellos. El Sig Web se desarrolló con Geoserver como servidor de mapas articulado con la librería Leaflet para JavaScript, usando un motor de base de datos PostgreSQL y PostGIS. Como resultado se construyó un SIG-Web y una aplicación móvil para sistemas operativos Android que funciona tanto en línea cómo sin conexión a Internet, desarrollada con framework Apache cordova y las librerías de framework7 y leaflet. UVManos es el nombre asignado a la aplicación Web y móvil, siendo un primer paso en la concepción de un Campus Inteligente con el cual toda una comunidad universitaria se localiza y mueve facilitando su desplazamiento dentro de la Universidad.

In August 2021, the Western Cape Government (WCG) veterinary services noted a new strain of avian influenza (AI) affecting coastal bird colonies, resulting in mass fatalities. While it was not declared a disaster, the Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC) was activated in September 2021 to coordinate the response, in the interest of public health and safety. Between October and November 2021, approximately 18,388 birds had died as a result of the AI outbreak. Of these mortalities, 17,926 were Cape Cormorants Phalacrocorax capensis, an Endangered species that is endemic to Southern Africa. The multitude of stakeholders suddenly engaged in response activities resulted in the initial reporting mechanisms being uncoordinated, with information received in various formats such as text messages, spreadsheets, social media or telephonic reports. There was thus a need to formalise a coherent reporting structure that could incorporate locational information to monitor the spread of the outbreak. While a summary of the technological response is provided in Kirkman et al. (2022), this work further reflects on the benefits of such coordination. For stakeholders to be receptive to new technologies, it is important that their needs are directly addressed, and the process of data storage and management is transparent with their data being both safeguarded and accessible. The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), thorough its Oceans and Coastal Information Management System (OCIMS) readily undertakes the development of online publicly accessible decision-support tools and were therefore equipped with rapid development, deployment and data management capabilities. In this context, a collaboration effort between the DFFE, WCG PDMC and WCG Department of Agriculture (DoA) was established to capitalise on the available technologies to support the AI response management. Stakeholder ‘groups’ with similar technological needs were subsequently identified, namely (1) data capturers, (2) data analysts and (3) event management, which guided product development. All subsequent training was provided online due to the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown restrictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lunde, Viggo and Lunde, Viggo
- Abstract
Geography is the study of knowledge in a given location, and history is the study of knowledge over time. The combination of changes over time has always been challenging to visualize in maps. The main aim of this thesis was to analyze differences between various methods used to visualize spatio-temporal data with open-source web mapping technology. The methodology of this thesis has been split into three main parts: (1) data collection and preparation; (2) application development; and (3) performance testing and statistical analysis. Through a comparative study between four technology solutions/methods to visualize spatio-temporal data, this work has tried to document if there are differences in loading times and efficiency results evaluated based on performance tests. Four time series datasets ranging in sizes were utilized as the test data for the four different techniques, GeoJSON, WMS, D3 and Cesium. The performance time results shows that the WMS technology was the fastest for data loading in terms of the display time and total loading time. Cesium, GeoJSON and D3/TopoJSON were also usable for small datasets but failed the large data tasks. The results regarding animation efficiency were that WMS was the only technology that was able to display all four datasets. Conclutions The overall conclusion is that only one of the four technologies handled all datasets and that was the WMS application. WMS was the fastest method for data loading and had the smallest display times and total loading times, for all four datasets. And for efficiency and animation the conclusion was that WMS was the only technology that was able to display all datasets. What of four open-source-based methods are most optimal for visualizing spatio-temporal data are the contribution of this work. Future work should use more simular data with different sizes and find a better way to take the time measurements., Geography is the study of places, and history is the study of change over time. The changes over time have always been difficult to show in maps. The main aim of this study was to find differences between some methods used to show time series data with open-source maps on internet. The methods used in this study has been split in three main parts: (1) collecting data and preparation; (2) make a map solution for internet; and (3) measure performance and analysis. Four different technologies to visualize time series data has been compared, this work has showed if there are differences in loading times and efficiency of animations based on time measures. Four time series datasets in different sizes were used as the test data for the four different methods, GeoJSON, WebMapServises (WMS), vectordata (D3) and Cesium (3D). The time measure results shows that the WMS technology was the fastest for data loading. Cesium, GeoJSON and vectordata were also usable for small datasets but failed with the large data. The results regarding animation efficiency were that WMS was the only method that was able to display all four datasets.

In March 2020, the UN Secretary General issued a call for a global ceasefire to help tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. This call was expected to result in a variety of responses from governments, diplomats, armed groups, NGOs, humanitarian actors, and mediators. Since these organizations are typically focused on specific countries and contexts, it was important to provide them and researchers of conflict and peacemaking dynamics with clear, concise, and well-presented data on the full variety of conflict parties' responses to the UNSG's call, the COVID-19 pandemic and to track the impacts of the pandemic on attempts to end armed conflict. Our tracker, called 'Ceasefires in a time of COVID-19' supports these efforts and SDG 16, i.e., promotion of just, peaceful, and inclusive societies. It features a timeline, an interactive map, and a search tool that displays qualitative data about the ceasefires and related events. This tool is unique in its application, bringing together ceasefires declarations and the COVID-19 infection rates from the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 database, and in its design, with input from the academic and practitioner communities. In this paper, we further describe the methodology used in designing the tool and argue in favor of broad interdisciplinary and cross-industry participation in dataset and user interface design, in order to reflect the requirements of the interested publics.

- Abstract
El webmap de textos neosumerios se ha desarrollado desde la Unidad SIGyHD del Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales del CSIC para ofrecer una visión cartográfica interactiva, en la línea de trabajo de las Humanidades Digitales y la ciencia abierta, del importante corpus de tablillas cuneiformes creado por el investigador del CSIC Manuel Molina (Base de Datos de Textos Neo-Sumerios, BDTNS en adelante). El proyecto BDTNS, disponible en línea desde 2002, es un corpus electrónico consultable que reúne más de 101.000 textos cuneiformes del imperio mesopotámico de la tercera dinastía de Ur, datados en el siglo XXI antes de nuestra era. Es un recurso de primer orden para los estudiosos de Oriente Antiguo. El proyecto de webmap basado en los datos de BDTNS busca poner de relieve la relación entre los yacimientos de procedencia de los textos cuneiformes y su actual ubicación, formando parte de diferentes tipos de colecciones, públicas o privadas. Para ello se han georreferenciado los yacimientos de donde procede todo el material arqueológico y las más de 800 colecciones de destino, clasificadas en función del tipo de institución que la alberga. El mapa final permite consultar las colecciones de destino de los materiales de cada yacimiento o todas las colecciones, filtrar en función del tipo de colección y acceder a las fichas del corpus original con un solo click. Se trata de un desarrollo propio programado en OpenLayers que accede a los datos de la base de datos original (MySQL).

O significativo avanço das tecnologias de informação, e mais especificamente de geoinformação, tem transformado o modo de planejar o território, em recortes urbanos ou ambientais, exigindo investimentos e investigações em processos metodológicos. As novas necessidades são dinâmicas, on demand, e não há mais espaço para mapas estáticos, pois as realidades e usos estão em constante alteração. As grandes fragilidades no processo de planejamento territorial ainda estão ligadas à disponibilidade de informações atualizadas, à agilidade na produção de dados, e à participação de múltiplos atores, com definição clara das as responsabilidades e dos processos necessários para o alcance dos objetivos. Neste contexto, no que diz respeito à produção do dado, discute-se o potencial do uso de banco de dados e de ferramentas de ETL (extract, transform and load) em substituição a mecanismos desktop limitados a aplicativos pré-existentes, abrindo o potencial para criação de lógicas de pensamento e empregando ferramentas que considerem a interoperabilidade e os princípios de banco de dados na otimização de processos. No que diz respeito à distribuição da informação, discute-se o potencial do consumo através das IDEs (Infraestrutura de Dados Espaciais) como nova forma de governança e padronização dos dados espaciais, o que os eleva de dados para informação. No que diz respeito ao envolvimento de diferentes atores, defendem-se ferramentas baseadas em PSS (Planning Suport System) e a sua versão geoespacial, o Geodesign, fundamentais no esforço frente a esses desafios. Com base dos três objetivos principais - novas formas de produzir dados, distribuir informações e dar suporte à construção de opiniões e à tomada de decisões - a tese de desenvolve através de exemplos ilustrados em estudos de caso, que dão subsídios para a discussão das hipóteses lançadas, sem expectativa de se exaurir os argumentos, mas com a expectativa de alertar e elucidar sobre as novas perspectivas que se colocam para o planejador. Como contribuição, apresenta-se a colocação de que vivemos uma nova fase no consumo da tecnologia de geoinformação, que tem potencial para mudar a forma de trabalho planejador. São apresentados roteiros metodológicos autorais para se contribuir nesse sentido, na forma de estudos de casos. Os estudos de caso são desenvolvidos na forma de um crescente, primeiro se exemplificando como podem ser usados novos recursos de produção do dado, através de scripts ETL que independem de softwares tradicionais desktops e estão mais abertos à proposição da lógica pelo usuário (otimização de grande manuseio e produção de dados, algoritmo que favorece a aplicação de uma fórmula de análise espacial e, finalmente, o algoritmo de avaliação de similaridade de polígonos). Estudos de caso exemplificam o papel das novas formas de distribuição das informações geográficas e demostra, de modo crescente, a ampliação de recursos de webmap para webgis, testando diferentes plataformas. Finalmente, os estudos de caso demonstram a incorporação dos conceitos anteriores explicitando a nova forma de consumo da informação geográfica a partir do advento das IDEs, que associadas a condições de WebGis e de Geodesign se apresentam como suporte à co-criação e geocolaboração em planejamento territorial. O trabalho se fundamenta inicialmente em revisões bibliográficas dos principais termos, sobretudo com o intuito de ir no cerne do que seriam as expectativas sobre o Geodesign para, a partir desta revisão, realizar estudo exploratório através de exemplos que ilustrem a construção de uma nova forma de produção, compartilhamento e uso de dados espaciais. The significant advancement in information technologies, and more specifically in geoinformation, has transformed the way of planning the territory, into urban or environmental representations, requiring investments and investigations in methodological processes. The new needs are dynamic, on demand, and there is no more space for static maps, as the realities and uses are constantly changing. The major weaknesses in the territorial planning process are still linked to the availability of updated information, agility in the production of data, and the participation of multiple actors, with a clear definition of the responsibilities and processes necessary to achieve the objectives. In this context, with regard to data production, the potential of using a database and ETL tools (extract, transform and load) to replace desktop mechanisms limited to pre-existing applications is discussed, opening up the potential for creating logic of thought and employing tools that consider interoperability and database principles in the optimization of processes. Regarding the distribution of information, the potential for consumption through SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructures) as a new form of governance and standardization of spatial data, which elevates them from data to information. With regard to the involvement of different actors, tools based on PSS (Planning Support System) and its geospatial version, Geodesign, are fundamental in the effort to face these challenges. Based on the three main objectives - new ways of producing data, distributing information and supporting the construction of opinions and decision making - the thesis develops through examples illustrated in case studies, which support the discussion of the hypotheses launched, with no expectation of exhausting the arguments, but with the expectation of alerting and elucidating about the new perspectives that arise for the planner. As a contribution, there is the statement that we are experiencing a new phase in the consumption of geoinformation technology, which has the potential to change the way the planner works. Authorial methodological scripts are presented to contribute in this sense, in the form of case studies. The case studies are developed in the form of a crescent, first exemplifying how new data production resources can be used, through ETL scripts that are independent of traditional desktop software and are more open to the proposition of logic by the user (and an algorithm is presented) optimization of great handling and data production, an algorithm that favors the application of a spatial analysis formula and, finally, the polygon similarity evaluation algorithm). Then the case studies exemplify the role of new forms of distribution of geographical information and demonstrate, increasingly, the expansion of resources from webmap to webgis, testing different platforms. Finally, the case studies demonstrate the incorporation of the previous concepts, demonstrating the new form of consumption of geographic information since the advent of SDI, which associated with the conditions of WebGis and Geodesign are presented as support for co-creation and geo-collaboration in territorial planning. The work is based initially on bibliographic reviews of the main terms, mainly with the intention of going to the heart of what would be the expectations of a Geodesign to, from this review, carry out an exploratory study through examples that illustrate the construction of a new form of production, sharing and use of spatial data.

H.4.3 Communications Applications ,SVG Tiny ,WebMap ,SVG ,Visualization - Abstract
La produzione di mappe da parte di Web Map Server è generalmente orientata verso due tipi di rappresentazione: a) raster: costituita da immagini contenute in file di formato PNG, JPG, ; b) vector: costituita da un insieme di primitive grafiche contenute in file di formato CGM, SVG, . La rappresentazione col formato SVG fa riferimento allo standard W3C (Raccomandazione SVG 1.x) per dispositivi di visualizzazione tradizionali (quali ad es. i Personal Computers), denominato SVG Full. W3C definisce inoltre per i dispositivi mobili (con limitate risorse di banda trasmissiva, memoria, capacità elaborativa, dimensione e caratteristiche del display) due standard SVG (Mobile SVG), derivati come profili della Raccomandazione SVG 1.1: essi sono specifici per i dispositivi PDA (SVG Basic) e per i telefoni cellulari (SVG Tiny). In particolare si può osservare che SVG Tiny è un sottoinsieme di SVG Basic, il quale a sua volta è un sottoinsieme di SVG Full. Ne deriva pertanto che Mobile SVG è stato progettato in modo che SVG 1.1 possa essere trascodificato in SVG Basic e SVG Tiny, mantenendo quanto più possibile la scalabilità. In questo contesto si inquadra l'attività in oggetto, avente come obiettivo quello di rendere fruibili i dati SVG prodotti dal server GeoMedia® WebMap Professional (per i Personal Computers) anche ai dispositivi mobili, ed in particolare ai telefoni cellulari. Trattando in modo specifico l'informazione territoriale, le operazioni di trascodifica (da SVG Full a SVG Tiny) interesseranno in modo particolare l'insieme degli elementi grafici finalizzati alla visualizzazione degli oggetti geografici. Il prototipo sviluppato prevede l'implementazione sul Web Map Server Intergraph GeoMedia WebMap e la operatività su telefoni cellulari compatibili con l'ambiente Java MIDP 2.
