However, due to lack of efficient mechanisms integrated in the data workflow, to assist users in metadata generation, a lot of low quality and outdated metadata are stored in the catalogues. This paper presents a mechanism for generating and publishing metadata through a publication service. This mechanism is provided as a web service implemented with a standard interface called a web processing service, which improves interoperability between other SDI components. This work extends previous research, in which a publication service has been designed in the framework of the European Directive Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) as a solution to assist users in automatically publishing geospatial data and metadata in order to improve, among other aspects, SDI maintenance and usability. Also, this wor...

Cada profesional que interviene en un incendio forestal actúa en diferentes fases (prevención, extinción), contexto (centro control, primera línea de fuego, vigilancia). Cada profesional tiene diferentes grados de dependencia tecnológica, por lo que la información geoespacial necesaria para cada perfil es distinta y valorada por su utilidad. El estudio cuantitativo presentado en este artículo, basado en las técnicas de encuestas. La finalidad del estudio es la evaluación del estado actual en el uso y conocimiento de las tecnologías geoespaciales durante la prevención y extinción de incendios forestales. En este artículo se describe la metodología seguida para la confección de la encuesta, la definición de los criterios de evaluación y el análisis de los resultados obtenidos. Los resultados reflejan una tendencia positiva en cuanto que las infraestructuras de datos espaciales (ID...

In this work, we combined three key aspects: climate data sensors, mobile platforms and spatial proximity operations. We published and made use of a web 2.0 network of climate data, where content is user‐collected, by means of their meteorological stations, and exposed as available information for the virtual community. Moreover, we enriched this data by giving the users the opportunity to directly inform the system with different climate measures. In general, management of this type of information from a mobile application could result in an important decision tool, as it enables us to provide climate‐related data according to a context and a geographical location. Therefore, we implemented a native mobile application for iPhone and iPad platforms by using ArcGIS SDK for iOS and by integrating a series of ArcGIS webmaps, which allows us to perform g...

Governments are mandated to expose every new urban plan to public reaction for the citizens to state their opinion and concerns. However, this mechanism is not always very transparent and results in a lack of real engagement of the citizens in their city’s development. This work proposes to increase the visibility of this mechanism through an analysis of a mobile application that allows citizens to be aware of urban planning projects around them. The mobile application shows a 3D model with the official urban planning proposal for the development of the area around the user’s location. Users can comment and modify some of the plan characteristics, which are sent to the government for analysis. Citizens participating get feedback about the consequences of their modifications, can comment and rate other users’ proposals, receive updates and are finally notified with a justified winning proposal. The ultimate goal of this tool is to encourage and enhance public participation in the design of their future city.
