Course, TU Delft, MSc Geomatics, 2017

As part of the MSc course ‘Geo-information Organisation and Legislation’ (TU Delft, MSc Geomatics), lectures were provided on the governance and assessment of Spatial Data Infrastructures, and students were trained in the development and application of an assessment framework for evaluating the openess of an SDI.

The role of geospatial in the digital government transformation

Webinar, ELISE Knowledge Transfer, 2019

The aim of this webinar was to set the scene and explore the broad role of geospatial data and SDIs as important enablers and building blocks of digital government transformation. The webinar placed past and ongoing developments in the use and sharing of geospatial data in the wider context of digital transformation.

The role of Spatial Data Infrastructures for Digital Government Transformation

Webinar, ELISE Knowledge Transfer, 2019

The aim of this webinar was to review the role of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) in the Digital Transformation of Government and explore how SDIs should further evolve to increase its contribution to this transformation. The webinar built on a study commissioned by the EC Joint Research Centre in which a methodology was developed for better understanding the role of SDIs in the Digital Transformation of the public sector and applied to investigate the role between SDIs and Digital Transformation in different European countries

SDI & (Open) Data Policies

Training, NSDI Mozambique - SDI for Managers Training , 2019

Training was provided to representatives from various public organisations in Mozambiqua on (open) data policies in the context of Spatial Data Infrastructures. The training module looked at SDI and its relations with other data policies, and open data policies in particular. The module also discussed the applicability of open data licences in the context of SDIs.

SDI in support of work processes

Training, NSDI Mozambique - SDI for Managers Training , 2019

In this training session, several representatives from government organisations in Mozambique learned about how SDI data and components can be used to support the work processes of government – and other – organizations. The module explained what work processes are and how processes and their main components coulld be identified. The module also looked at the mapping and modelling of processes through business process modelling tools and languages.

Distribution of tasks in the context of SDI

Training, NSDI Mozambique - SDI for Managers Training , 2019

The aim of this training session was to explain the importance of task allocation in the context of Spatial Data Infrastructures, and present different models for allocating tasks in the development and implementation of SDIs. In this module, the allocation of tasks and responsibilities is introduced as an instrument for the governance of SDIs.

Digital Twins - Are they ready to embrace the benefits of location information?

Webinar, ELISE Knowledge Transfer, 2020

The aim of this webinar was to explore the importance of “geospatial” and “interoperability” in the creation and management of digital twins. In this webinar, the current state of play on the development and deployment of digital twins in Europe and how they rely on geospatial data, data infrastructures and technologies were presented.
