Geo-web services for climate and meteorological services
Workshop, 2 September 2018, Budapest
The workshop on Geo-web services had to be cancelled.
Lecturers:
Milan Kilibarda, University of Belgrade, Department of Geodesy and Geoinformatics, plus a second trainer (to be named).
Concept: WebGIS is a quickly developing and changing science. The workshop will provide an introduction to concepts of geo-web services, methods and techniques for forecasters, meteorologists, climatologists and others.
A short review of state-of-the-art open-source WebGIS software solutions and services will be provided, followed by short exercises based on these solutions and services. For the first part of the exercises QGIS software will be used, while in the second we will attempt to build a small client in OpenLayers 3; this requires very basic understanding of HTML, JavaScript and CSS.
Server-side services would be used from the existing Web examples.
The final programme will be tailored to the experience (and interest) of registered participants.
Target group: Anyone interested in the basic concepts of WebGIS tools and services. Beginners as well as those with some first experience with WebGIS services are invited to participate in the workshop. A very basic understanding of HTML, JavaScript and CSS is required.
