Lunchtime Challenge: Spatial Query, Spatial Response

Assumptions Data sources in heterogeneous frames of reference Data providers are incapable of data transformations

Requirements Arbitrary spatial bound as query condition Results in any spatial reference system Operable via DiGIR/BioCASE

Actions Go to lunch Identify resources needed to fulfill this challenge Post your responses here


Notes From Goup 1

Assisting data providers to georeference their data

Develop guidelines for protecting sensitive data and its coordinates

GBIF portal and other presentation services data discovery should include spatial queries including eg buffering currently assume that most analysis will be carried out locally eg on gis software establish framework of services for generalised species modeling using bioclimatic techniques for example, this would entail distributed sources of variables, range of processing sites and modelling allgorithms, GBIF should only be for data discovery and a centralised registry of available services

Provide feature data (e.g., polygons) for named geospatial entities

Raster data resources for given map extents

Specimen point data on maps

Spatial queries for taxa (what's in my backyard)

Other ideas
