trans4num INSPIRE Hackathon 2024

Join us in driving innovation for sustainable agricultural nutrient management!

We are exited to announce that the call for challenges for the trans4num INSPIRE
Hackathon 2024
is now open!

We are looking for innovative challenge ideas focused on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for sustainable agriculture and land management!

By fostering collaboration between the EU and China, the hackathon aims to inspire young farmers, students, and professionals to engage in creating innovative business ideas utilising NBS technologies.

This aligns with the broader ambition of trans4num to enhance NBS implementation through a multi-level approach involving academic partners, practice partners, and societal stakeholders.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of impactful solutions, work
with like-minded individuals from around the world, and benefit from the knowledge and
experience of seasoned mentors.

Questions & Answers

Where can I download the data?

  • Climatic data – data downloaded from Copernicus Climate Data Store, namely ERA 5-Land data.
  • Digital Elevation Model – source: SRTM, resp. derived ALOS Global Digital Surface Model called AW3D30.
  • Sensor data – example datasets of soil water potential, soil temperature, air temperature air humidity, from period 2016/01/26 – 2017/03/13.

Which tools can I use?

  • Euxdat e-infrastructure (test.euxdat.eu)
  • GIS packages such as QGIS, GRASS, gvSIG, ArcGIS …
  • Mathematical modeling software, such e.g. Software R, MathLab, …
  • Earth Observation data processing software, such as Goolge Earth Engine, OrfeoToolbox, …
  • Spreadsheets, such as google docs, Libre Office, Microsoft Office, …

Where should I document my progress?

  • There is a google document dedicated to the detailed description of your team. You should shortly introduce your team, describe the initial idea and keep track of your progress. You can use either the one document prepared for all teams together or you can create your own document and link it in the parent doc.

How can I provide my feedback?

  • There is a form prepared for your feedback. You can either provide feedback on behalf of the team together or you can give us your personal feedback. Please fill at least one feedback per team until the end of Friday. But you can fill the feedback continuously during the hackathon, as once you fill it for the first time, you are provided with a link to edit your feedback anytime.

TEAM 7: Light Weighted INSPIRE Harmonization Using Metadata in GeoNetwork

TEAM LEADER: Paul van Genuchten

TEAM MEMBERS: Antonio Cerciello, … I’m looking for organisations that have non-harmonised datasets that are eligible for INSPIRE and are willing to go through a process of harmonisation using this light weighted approach.

PROJECT IDEA: These days many data providers implement INSPIRE data harmonization at the end of the data pipeline. The harmonized data is not used by the organisation itself. This approach has a big risk. In the harmonization process data may get lost or be placed out of context. In this experiment I want to experiment with a light weight harmonization approach based on linked data principles.

The idea is to extend the iso19110 feature catalog metadata of INSPIRE source datasets with references to relevant INSPIRE ontologies (https://github.com/inspire-eu-rdf/inspire-rdf-vocabularies) in such a way that any client software would be able to take the source dataset (as-is) combined with the extended iso19110 metadata to create basic INSPIRE GML.

This work builds on this project https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/wiki/Use-iso19110-in-GetFeatureinfo-response-visualisation
