Call for Sponsors 📣

Organizations are invited to sponsor the Code Sprint. A range of packages are available offering different opportunities for organizations to support the geospatial development community while promoting their products or services. Please check the this page for more information about sponsorship packages.

Topics 📚

The code sprint will focus on the following standards and specifications:

  • OGC API - Tiles defines building blocks for creating Web APIs that support the retrieval of geospatial information as tiles.
  • OGC API - Maps describes an API that can serve spatially referenced and dynamically rendered electronic maps.
  • Changesets API that is based on Testbed-15 outcomes and provides the foundation for a 'Transactional Tiles API Extension' for OGC API – Tiles.
  • Vector Tiles Extension to GeoPackage that describes a prototype extension of the OGC GeoPackage Standard to support the use of vector tiles technology
  • Variable Width Tile Matrix is a grid suited for the whole globe, that keeps the data in a geographic coordinate reference system.
  • OGC Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) defines a web service that can serve map tiles of spatially referenced data using tile images with predefined content, extent, and resolution. Developers of implementations of the OGC WMTS Standard, DGIWG WMTS profile, and the NSG WMTS profile are encouraged to attend.

If you are new to Code Sprints, please check the mentor streams below.

Mentor streams 🎓

If you are coming to an OGC Code Sprint for the first time, you may be a little lost and confused about what you should do when you get there. For this event (and hopefully future events if it works well), we will have mentors to help you get started in the OGC Community. In the discord server, you will find a section of called "mentoring", which contains multiple channels. All the mentor streams will take place in the V:🎙 Mentor Room. If you would like to be a mentor for a topic not listed, add a new table below.

Serve Vector Tiles with OGC API - Tiles

This is a mentored walk through of the entire process of getting your pygeoapi server up & running to serve vector tiles. We will ingest vector data into an elasticsearch index and leverage the modular architecture of pygeoapi and OGC API to publish it simultaneously as OGC API - Tiles and OGC API - Features. We are going to use a sample dataset with local shops and ingredients, from Sawcer. At the end of this session, you should be able to access the published tiles using a web browser, QGIS or any other http client.

Technologies: docker, pygeoapi, elasticsearch, QGIS.

Requirements: Basic knowledge about web APIs and Docker.

Stream leader: Joana Simoes

Proposed schedule: 12th of June, 11:45 - 12:30 EDT - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=12&month=6&year=2023&p1=224&p2=179&p3=16&p4=44&p5=240&p6=136&iv=0

Testing implementations of OGC API - Tiles for Compliance to the Standard

This tutorial will walk through the compliance testing process to demonstrate how to check whether a product correctly implements the OGC API - Tiles standard. Two approaches will be demonstrated: through the hosted TEAM Engine web application, and through the Eclipse IDE (using Maven).

Technologies: TEAM Engine

Requirements:

  • For Exercises 1 and 2 (Basic), a Web Browser is required
  • For Exercise 3 (Advanced), the following are required Java 8, Docker, Maven

Stream leader: Gobe Hobona

Proposed schedule: 12th of June, 13:45 - 14:30 EDT - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=12&month=6&year=2023&p1=224&p2=179&p3=16&p4=44&p5=240&p6=136&iv=0

A closer look at the MiraMon Map Reader

The MiraMon Map Reader is a FREE GIS which allows the visualization, query and printing of maps published in the internet or in a CD-ROM. In this tutorial we will discuss its architecture and provide a tour of its functionality, including the support to several OGC standards.

Technologies: JavaScript

Requirements:

  • Basic knowledge of web development technologies.

Stream leader: Núria Julià

Proposed schedule: 12th of June, 14:45 - 15:30 EDT - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=12&month=6&year=2023&p1=224&p2=179&p3=16&p4=44&p5=240&p6=136&iv=0
