The course is online version at: meet.google.com/ksc-fjnh-kxj

The course focuses on freely available geoinformation technologies and spatial data. Students get knowledge
of the most important Open GIS initiatives and technologies. Emphasis is placed on practical skills with Open Source
GIS technologies and the most important freely available databases of spatial data. Functionality of used Open
GIS technology and data accuracy are critically assessed and compared with commercial systems. SW QGIS is used for teaching in this course.

The course is taught in English, as it is also offered to foreign students of the Erasmus + program.
Requirements to the exam -
Last update: doc. RNDr. Přemysl Štych, Ph.D. (06.10.2020)

· Attendance at seminars are recommended.

· Proper completion and timely submission of semester work.

The semester work has the character of a professional text about the solved, freely available GIS technology, freely available data sources or Open GIS initiative. At the beginning of the semester, the topic is introduced and the motivation for choosing the topic is given. Furthermore, the current state of the topic is described in a factual and clear way. The final part is a critical analysis of the technology and its own recommendations for users. The report is in the range of about 10 pages, it consists of both text and image part.

· Presentation of semester work. It is also an obligation to consult once on the progress of the semester work during the month of November. The topic of the semester work must be sent to the mail stych@natur.cuni.cz by 31.10.

· Students have two attempts to correct the semester work. The final version of the semester work must be submitted 3 working days before the presentation. The deadline for acceptance of the semester work is 31. 1. Later corrections will not be accepted.

GIS technologies and the most important freely available databases of spatial data. Functionality of used Open
GIS technology and data accuracy are critically assessed and compared with commercial systems.

Course structure:
1. The most important initiatives of freely available GIS technologies and spatial data, Open GIS Consortium,
GEO / GEOSS, Copernicus projects, source codes and SW data formats, ISO standards
2. The most important freely available data sources, evaluation of their quality, Open Street Map, sources of environmental data
environment-CORINE, Urban Atlas…
3. Information sources of geoinformation map services, map services of public administration, GEOSS Portal, INSPIRE
Portal
4. Freely available remote sensing data, NASA Landsat and MODIS archive, ESA Sentinel mission,
5. Freely available SW technologies: GRASS / Quantum GIS, ESA Toolbox, LeoWorks: analytical and editing
functions, cartographic creation, 3D visualization, data interoperability…
6. Synthesis of achieved knowledge, evaluation of SW functionality and quality of freely available data.

The course will probably be taught in English, as it is also offered to foreign students of the Erasmus + program.
