opendataPoster_francaise(1) Data - GIS at University of Chicago Some of these data sites are more specific by subject or by region than others. However, it is suggested to first try the links under the “National and International Data” heading before going to more specific sites. The National and International sites are more generic in some instances and may have the data that you are trying to locate. When searching these sites, the keywords of “GIS” and the “subject” in question are usually good starting points if you are having difficulty.

link ultimo aggiornamento 18-06-2012 Il numero dei siti attinenti i temi dell'archeologia e delle metodologie di documentazione dei manufatti antichi sono molto numerosi e in continuo incremento. Tuttavia sono ancora pochi in percentuale quelli che offrono un livello di approfondimento che possa soddisfare le esigenze dei ricercatori, i quali nel nostro settore si dedicano ai propri studi ancora oggi spendendo la maggior parte del tempo nelle biblioteche reali. I portali di archeologia riportano elenchi di decine di siti suddivisi per materie e per aree geografiche, dove quelli più interessanti si trovano inevitabilmente mescolati con pagine elettroniche molto stringate che si limitano a riportare alcune essenziali informazioni, simili ai depliant tascabili che troviamo sui banconi delle biglietterie di musei e aree archeologiche.

European Environment Agency - GIS Data and Maps The pan-European High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity product suite (HR-VPP) are provided at a high spatial resolution (10 m x 10 m) with a high repeat frequency. They are derived from the optical Sentinel-2 constellation data (Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B) with a revisit time of 5 days. They are generated over the entire EEA39 region (33 member countries and 6 cooperating countries) from January 1 2017 onwards, with a daily, 10-daily and yearly frequency (see below). The HR-VPP product suite contains 3 product groups, 31 product types, 1522 files and more than 900.000 tiles per year, which totals more than 80 Terra Bytes of data, per year. The figure shows the difference in emissions of POPs between 2005 and 2019 This interactive data viewer provides accounts of imperviousness, i.e. land surface sealing status in Europe (EEA39 and EU27+UK) for the year 2018. Historical greenhouse gas emissions from the EU buildings sector show a decreasing trend since 2005.

AI could be a critical tool to help save the planet | AI for Earth It’s no secret that the health of our planet is declining. Deforestation, melting sea ice, rapidly disappearing species and more have weakened Earth’s ecosystems, and climate change is arguably the most pressing issue of our time. We need to think outside of the box – and move swiftly – to recover a sustainable future. Once considered the stuff of science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI) is not only playing a growing role in our everyday lives, but it could be a critical tool in helping save the planet. The five-year, $50m program launched in 2017 and has since doled out more than 200 grants to research teams leveraging AI to monitor and manage the planet’s natural systems. “We know so little about the natural world around us because we lack data at the right level of granularity and accuracy,” says Joppa. Focused on four keys areas critical to the livelihood of the planet – biodiversity, climate, water and agriculture – here’s how the program is effecting real change.

Les data en forme Sept jours de data-journalism. L'excellente et très attendue chronique hebdomadaire des journalistes de données d'OWNI. Avec cette semaine des affreux Parisiens, des Chinois plein de fric et de la belle nourriture intoxiquée. C’est mal, mais nous allons débuter cet article en nous comportant comme d’affreux parisiens. Le premier projet data sur lequel nous attirons votre attention est une cartographie des inégalités de revenus en Ile-de-France, proposée par Jean Abbiateci, sur le désormais indispensable blog d’Elsa Fayner, Et voilà le travail. La carte présente trois indicateurs : le niveau des inégalités des revenus des ménages franciliens, l’évolution de ces mêmes inégalités dans le temps et à titre de comparaison, le revenu fiscal médian. La démarche, expliquée dans l’article accompagnant la cartographie, se distingue par son accessibilité.

01 rappresentazioni grafiche 1. Tipi di rappresentazioni grafiche: piante, sezioni e prospetto Lo scopo del rilievo è quello di misurare le dimensioni di uno o più manufatti per darne una rappresentazione esatta. Nella tradizione di questa disciplina la restituzione di un oggetto si basa sul metodo delle proiezioni ortogonali e si distinguono fondamentalmente due tipi di rappresentazioni grafiche: la pianta e il prospetto. La prima è una veduta zenitale che serve a descrivere l’oggetto nella sua estensione rispetto a un piano orizzontale; il secondo è una veduta laterale che proietta l’oggetto su un piano verticale (fig. 1). La pianta descrive comunemente la faccia superiore del manufatto. Allo stesso modo una rappresentazione verticale può essere dall’esterno e riprodurre una delle facce laterali del manufatto — per esempio la facciata di un edificio - oppure può darci una veduta dell’interno. Chi organizza un rilievo deve stabilire quante e quali piante, prospetti e sezioni-prospetto sarà necessario produrre. 2.

It’s not (just) about apps. It’s about the open data. In a Fast Company post earlier this week, information architect and user experience consultant Hana Schank is skeptical of whether New York City takes digital seriously. The city’s approach to digital development” focuses on plenty of sizzle, not much steak,” writes Schank. “It’s time for the city to deeply explore what New York’s citizens actually need, and the ways in which those citizens are likely to behave.” Schank is onto an important trend, although perhaps a bit late to the party: throughout 2011, there’s been a rising tide of opinion that apps contests and hackathons should make tech citizens need. People like Clay Johnson have been suggesting that government focus on building community, not apps contests for some time. Schank may have touched a nerve in the NYC digital tech community, given that +Dave Winer shared her piece on Twitter earlier today. “I was discussing this just the other day. As 2011 comes to a close, the verdict is in. A fair assessment of NYC Big Apps 3.0?
