Joanna, welcome here, and you're from OGC, you have a booth here as well, people can come around and it looks like it's getting emotional now, and I'm curious about what you will talk about. Okay, thank you. So in the next four minutes I would like to share with you some lessons from the Emotional Cities project.
00:21
And this project sets out to understand how the built environment can shape our emotions, so the way we perceive the city. And it does so with a pluridisciplinary consortium of researchers that includes urban planners, neuroscientists and other experts.
00:41
So at the core of this project lies a spatial data infrastructure that enables all these stakeholders to share their data in an efficient manner. So we have put a lot of efforts in the development of this
01:00
SDI, so using modern OGC standards and other relevant standards for the different communities, using a stack of free and open source software, virtualizing everything into Docker containers to abstract from the cloud provider and so on. But actually I don't want to tell you about technology, but I want to tell
01:25
you about the efforts that we made in order to make this SDI user friendly. So first of all, we used modern OGC API standards, which are more accurate at
01:44
mainstream web developers that are familiar with technologies like REST and JSON and so on. But we also wanted to provide something for the traditional GIS users that are used to the first generation of OGC services.
02:04
And most of all because this has a wide support in tools that they use. We also created pipelines to ingest and publish the data into the SDI, pipelines for humans and for machines. So some people need web forms to put their information, their metadata for instance, but others
02:28
they use applications, so they want to have APIs that they can use to ingest the data. And most of all we created the extensive documentation, so tutorials on GitHub, documents, guidelines and a lot of webinars, outreach, outreach.
02:51
So how did users react to this? Well, there was a range of reactions. So some of the stakeholders, they were able to use the SDI without asking us anything, which is what we expect, you
03:08
know, that everything is documented and everything is ready to use, so there's no human intervention, they were just using the data. But others had other reactions like sharing data by email, asking questions, so not what we expected.
03:27
And I want to finish with this slide and invite everyone who has feedback about how they use, how they make their SDIs user friendly to come and talk to me and share because I consider this to be extremely important and it goes beyond the technology, but this is what makes really SDIs usable.
03:50
So thank you very much. Thank you Johanna and I think it was a good lightning talk.
