Towards an Open Source Analysis Toolbox for Street Network Comparison: Indicators, Tools and Results of a Comparison of OSM and the Official Austrian Reference GraphAnita Graser, Markus Straub, Melitta Dragaschnig

Tags: Under the Hood OpenStreetMap Qgis Academic Track

Theme: Academic: This paper presents a novel open source toolbox for street network comparison based on the Sextante geoprocessing framework for the open source Geographic Information System Quantum GIS

(QGIS). In the spirit of open science, the tool- box enables researchers worldwide to assess the quality of street networks such as OpenStreetMap (OSM) by calculating key performance indicators commonly used in street network comparison studies. Additionally, we suggest two new perfor- mance indicators for turn restriction and one-way street comparisons specifically aimed...

Big Data in Standardization: Can This Fly?Sept. 19, 2013, 9:30 a.m. to Sept. 17, 2013, 1:30 p.m.

Peter Baumann (Jacobs University)

Tags: bigdata standards

Theme: Data: presentations focused on data (be it capture, storage, discovery or new data models such as 3D, temporal data, big data).

We discuss standards in OGC, ISO, and INSPIRE to find out whether they support or inhibit scalable spatio-temporal services.

In geo data, a main footprint coming from Big Data stems from remote sensing, atmospheric and ocean models, and statistics data. In the strive for interoperability, standardizaiton bodies establish interface specifications for large-scale geo services. Are these standards really helpful, or do they inhibit performance? We investigate this and show both positive and negative examples, based on OGC, INSPIRE, and ISO standards relevant for scalable geo services.
