The Interactive Murder Map
sur Google Maps Mania

Norwegian newspaper VG has been mapping murders in Norway since the turn of the millennium. The cumulative data in Murder in Norway allows the paper to provide some fascinating insights into Norwegian homicides. For example, this year, 61% of murder victims have been killed by a family member or a partner/ex-partner. Last year, 45% of murder victims were killed by their partner or ex-partner.

Fernando Quadro: WebGIS sob Medida
sur Planet OSGeo

WebGIS é uma tecnologia usada para exibir e analisar dados espaciais na Internet. Ele combina as vantagens da Internet e do GIS oferecendo um novo meio de acessar informações espaciais sem a necessidade de você possuir ou instalar um software GIS.

A necessidade de divulgação de dados geoespaciais têm estimulado cada vez mais o uso de ferramentas WebGIS para apresentações interativas de mapas e de informações relacionadas por meio da internet.

As soluções adotadas na apresentação destes mapas devem apresentar um equilíbrio entre facilidade de uso, riqueza de recursos para visualização e navegação entre os dados, e funcionalidades geoespaciais para pós processamento, características que devem ser adequadas para cada perfil de usuário que acessará o WebGIS.

Se você e sua empresa possuem dados geoespaciais e querem disponibilizá-las na Web, o caminho natural para isso é o desenvolvimento de um WebGIS. Mas, se você não tiver uma equipe de TI, ou um especialista em desenvolvimento GIS, não se preocupe, a Geocursos pode te ajudar.

Nossa experiência em GIS nos habilita a entregar soluções baseadas nessa tecnologia utilizando ferramentas open source de visualização geográfica aliada a soluções criativas para o seu negócio.

Sean Gillies: Late fall biking
sur Planet OSGeo

I've decided to try to ride a bike for exercise more in 2025. Run harder, but run less, with more active recovery and low-intensity outings on a bike. At least until June, when I need to start building the running and hiking endurance that I will need in September.

I got a new bike to make this more fun. It's a Rocky Mountain Solo C50 and I bought it from my favorite local bike shop, Drake Cycles, last Saturday. The first thing I did was pedal it from home up Spring Creek Trail to Pineridge Open Space and ride some laps around the pond. It sure beats riding my commuter bike on dirt and gravel. I haven't bought a new bike or any new bike components in 10 years. Electronic shifters feel like magic to me.

A dark blue-green bike with wide drop handlebars leaning on an interpretive sign in a dry valley under and overcast sky.

So far this week I've done two rides from the barn where we keep our horses while Bea has been doing her equestrian stuff. One at sunset and one at sunrise. I've been three miles east of the barn and seven miles north of the barn, following roads on the PLSS section grid.

A dirt road at dusk, headlights of an approaching truck, and orange sunset glow behind the Rocky Mountains.

In the neighborhood of the barn, the ground is completely free of snow and quite dry. Passing trucks raise medium density clouds of dust. There are scattered homes out here, and vehicles going to and fro periodically. There are large construction sites, too, which can mean a wave of large rigs pulling trailers.

A rolling dirt road and brown grassland with snow-dusted mountains in the background.

I've got a lot to learn about this kind of riding. The right tire pressure for road and trail conditions, for example, and how to get in and out of the drops smoothly. How to descend and corner safely, and how to survive washboard surfaces. Dressing, too. I'm riding at a low intensity and don't generate as much heat as I do when I run.

One of my favorite things about riding further east is the panoramic views of the Front Range peaks. I can see Pikes Peak, Mount Evans, Longs Peak, and the Mummy Range, a span of 200 kilometers, from the top of every rise.

Sean Gillies: Productive running
sur Planet OSGeo

At last, I'm less than 1% injured and am getting back into regular and productive running. We've had a long stretch of mild and dry weather here, which makes it easy to just lace up and go. I ran four times last week, including a nice hilly run in Lory State Park, and will run three times this week. Thursday I did some harder running and a bunch of strides for the first time since June.

Some faint numbness lingers on my left quad, but my hip, butt, and leg are otherwise just fine. My doctor prescribed a course of prednisolone in early November to calm down my pinched nerve and that seemed to banish the last of my Achilles tendonitis as well. My right heel and calf haven't been pain-free in a long time. It's really nice to feel good.

Fernando Quadro: 10 aplicações GIS em Energias Renováveis
sur Planet OSGeo

À medida que o mundo transita para um futuro energético mais limpo e sustentável, o papel dos Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (GIS) se tornou indispensável.

O GIS nos permite enfrentar os desafios complexos do desenvolvimento de energia renovável com precisão e eficiência.

Seja identificando os principais locais para fazendas solares, avaliando o potencial de energia eólica ou planejando infraestrutura hidrelétrica, o GIS fornece os insights espaciais necessários para tomar decisões informadas.

Além do planejamento de projetos, o GIS oferece suporte a avaliações ambientais, mitiga riscos e ajuda a integrar energia renovável em redes elétricas, garantindo que esses desenvolvimentos sejam sustentáveis e resilientes.

Ele também capacita provedores de energia e formuladores de políticas a envolver comunidades, reduzir emissões e enfrentar as mudanças climáticas de frente.

Aqui estão 10 maneiras principais pelas quais o GIS está moldando o setor de energia renovável, promovendo inovação e impulsionando mudanças impactantes:

Integração da Rede
Avaliação de Recursos
Avaliação de Impacto Ambiental
Engajamento da Comunidade
Análise de Risco

Free and Open Source GIS Ramblings: GeoParquet in QGIS – smaller & faster files for the win!
sur Planet OSGeo

tldr; Tired of working with large CSV files? Give GeoParquet a try!

“Parquet is a powerful column-oriented data format, built from the ground up to as a modern alternative to CSV files.” [https:]]

(Geo)Parquet is both smaller and faster than CSV. Additionally, (Geo)Parquet columns are typed. Text, numeric values, dates, geometries retain their data types. GeoParquet also stores CRS information and support in GIS solutions is growing.

I’ll be giving a quick overview using AIS data in GeoPandas 1.0.1 (with pyarrow) and QGIS 3.38 (with GDAL 3.9.2).
File size
The example AIS dataset for this demo contains ~10 million rows with 22 columns. I’ve converted the original zipped CSV into GeoPackage and GeoParquet using GeoPandas to illustrate the huge difference in file size: ~470 MB for GeoParquet and zipped CSV, 1.6 GB for CSV, and a whopping 2.6 GB for GeoPackage:
Reading performance
Pandas and GeoPandas both support selective reading of files, i.e. we can specify the specific columns to be loaded. This does speed up reading, even from CSV files:

Whole file Selected columns
CSV 27.9 s 13.1 s
Geopackage 2min 12s 20.2 s
GeoParquet 7.2 s 4.1 s

Indeed, reading the whole GeoPackage is getting quite painful.

Here’s the code I used for timing the read times:

As you can see, these times include the creation of the GeoPandas.GeoDataFrame.

If we don’t need a GeoDataFrame, we can read the files even faster:
Non-spatial DataFrames
GeoParquet files can be read by non-GIS tools, such as Pandas. This makes it easier to collaborate with people who may not be familiar with geospatial data stacks.

And reading plain DataFrames is much faster than creating GeoDataFrames:

But back to GIS …
GeoParquet in QGIS
In QGIS, GeoParquet files can be loaded like any other vector layer, thanks to GDAL:

Loading the GeoParquet and GeoPackage files is pretty quick, especially if we zoom into a small region of interest (even though, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem possible to restrict the columns to further speed up loading). Loading the CSV, however, is pretty painful due to the lack of spatial indexing, which becomes apparent very quickly in the direct comparison:
(You can see how slowly the red CSV points are rendering. I didn’t have the patience to include the whole process in the GIF.)
As far as I can tell, my QGIS 3.38 ‘Grenoble’ does not support writing to or editing of GeoParquet files. So I’m limited to reading GeoParquet for now.

However, seeing how much smaller GeoParquets are compared to GeoPackages (and also faster to write), I hope that we will soon get the option to export to GeoParquet.

For now, I’ll start by converting my large CSV files to GeoParquet using GeoPandas.

I want a "start over" tool for type annotating a Python library. I started with Flask as untyped code, then added annotations until mypy stopped complaining. But this didn't mean the annotations were _correct_. Over time I've fixed various reported issues. I feel like if I could start from scratch again, I'd probably get closer to correct with the experience I've gained. But removing all existing annotations and ignores is too time consuming on its own. #python

I saw a physical therapist yesterday. I had a virtual visit with my physician today. I had a 2 mile hike in the sun around a local reservoir. Now I'm listening to the Glenn Branca Orchestra on The Frow Show and my take on my health is: let's go!

The expert consensus is that I did not injure my spine, but that muscles in the left side of my hip have clamped down on a nerve. I'm going to proceed as if that is true, foam rolling, walking, and running through the pain, and not worrying about my spine cracking in pieces. I do have a little bit of numbness in my upper left leg and so I will not directly dive into long technical downhill runs. I expect that I'll resolve that soon.

I've taken a momentary break from our (admittedly) glacial pace of MapGuide development to put out another release of mapguide-rest
This release includes the following changes:
- Fix missing reverse routing on selection overview
- Fix bad feature query preparation when querying against watermarked layers
- Relax strict-typing on MgReaderToGeoJsonWriter::FeatureToGeoJson() so that it can work with MgPaginatedFeatureReader allowing pagination to work again
- Added missing properties parameter to swagger defn for session-based feature selection route

We now return to regularly-scheduled programming of trying to get MapGuide Open Source 4.0 to the finish line.
As for mapguide-rest, I envision at least once more major RC *after* the final release of MapGuide Open Source 4.0 before finally wrapping things up on development work and pulling the trigger on the mapguide-rest 1.0 final release. Enough of this RC-after-RC business!

Nick Bearman: FOSS4G:UK South West 2024 - Bristol
sur Planet OSGeo
It was great to attend FOSS4G:UK South West 2024 in Bristol on 12th Nov, at OSGeo:UK’s now regular Bristol Venue, The Engine Shed. The event was a sell out and we had 62 people in the Engine Shed’s main room.

This was the first time in a while that I have been to a FOSS4G:UK as an attendee rather than as an organiser - and it made a nice difference! We had 14 great presentations, covering a whole range of topics including digitalization of railways, reproducible science, real time vessel monitoring, landscape heritage, open source funding, cloud native web apps and a whole variety of useful open source tools.

Unfortunately I missed the first presentation - thanks Great Western Railways! - but one common theme that cropped up a lot was how social media as a tool for open source projects has changed dramatically. James Milner said that social media used to be a great way to promote his program, Terra Draw, but know he gets no where near the same impact from using social media. It’s now a bit of a big unknown, and I particularly liked how he summarised this:

Interestingly, I sent out a number of social media posts to Twitter (X), Mastodon and LinkedIn, and LinkedIn got the most response, so make of that what you will! Although I think it’s fair to say LinkedIn is not universally loved, as it was memorably described as “Grindr for Business” by Andrew Bailey!
- Twitter (X) 1 retweet, 7 likes
- Mastodon 3 boosts, 3 favorites
- LinkedIn 6 comments, 4 reposts
The presenters have also mastered the use of memes, with Matt Travis hitting home with some of the perils of waiting for large data sets to load:

and of course also

It was also fantastic to get FAIR Open Science and FAIR workflows mentioned in the presentation by Richard Conway & Garin Smith from Telespazio, who are in the process of developing an exploration platform that allows researchers both to share their data, code and their methods in a reproducible form.

I also had the opportunity to speak about GoFundGeo and talk about how OSGeo:UK is funding a range of open source geospatial projects that will have an impact in the UK. Join the OSGeo:UK mailing list or check the website to find out more.

Finally, as ever, it was great to meet new people and network again with old friends at these events. I know of at least one contract opportunity, as well a number of potential ones and also I think some new volunteers for OSGeo:UK!

Thanks very much to all the organisers - Pascal Coulon, Alastair Graham, Sam Franklin, Dan Ormsby, Illya Sparkes-Santos, Ant Scott, as well as everyone who came along and took part.

GeoServer Team: Exploring CQL/ECQL Filtering in GeoServer
sur Planet OSGeo
GeoSpatial Techno is a startup focused on geospatial information that is providing e-learning courses to enhance the knowledge of geospatial information users, students, and other startups. The main approach of this startup is providing quality, valid specialized training in the field of geospatial information.

( YouTube | LinkedIn | Facebook | X )
Exploring CQL and ECQL Filtering in GeoServer
In this session, we want to talk about the Using CQL/ECQL Filters in GeoServer in detail. If you want to access the complete tutorial, click on the link.

Introduction
Contextual Query Language (CQL) is a text-based query for search/retrieval adopted by the OGC for the Catalogue Web Services specification. Unlike the XML-based Filter Encoding language, CQL is more readable and easier for manual authoring. However, it has limitations, such as not being able to encode ID filters and requiring the attribute to be on the left side of comparison operators.

To overcome these limitations, GeoServer offers an extended version called ECQL, which closely resembles SQL and provides greater flexibility. ECQL allows users to define filters for querying data in GeoServer using attribute comparisons, logical operators, and spatial predicates. It is compatible with GeoServer’s REST API and can be used for WMS and WFS requests to retrieve filtered data.

Note. This video was recorded on GeoServer 2.22.4, which is not the most up-to-date version. Currently, versions 2.25.x and 2.26.x are supported. To ensure you have the latest release, please visit this link and avoid using older versions of GeoServer.

Note. Future version of GeoServer will include support for CQL2 which provides both a text and a JSON representation.
Comparison operators
To compare attribute values or other numeric and text values in your CQL / ECQL (Extended Common Query Language) expressions, you can utilize comparison operators.

In the Layer Preview section, first click on the OpenLayers option for the topp:states layer. Next, locate and click on the Toggle options toolbar in the top left corner to access the advanced options.

In the CQL filter box within this toolbar, enter the filter expression STATE_NAME = 'Texas', and then press the Apply button. This filter will retrieve and display the data for the state of Texas.

By reviewing the following examples using the Toggle options toolbar from the LayerPreview page, you will learn how to effectively understand and apply comparison operators using CQL/ECQL expressions:
- ‘PropertyIsGreaterThanOrEqualTo’ filter
This filter shows the states that have more than or equal to 5 million inhabitants.
```
PERSONS >= 5000000
```
- ‘PropertyIsLike’ filter
This filter shows the states whose names, contain the letters ‘ing’ like Washington and Wyoming.
```
STATE_NAME like '%ing%'
```
- ‘PropertyIsBetween’ filter
This filter shows the states with a population of 5 million to 10 million.
```
PERSONS between 5000000 and 10000000
```
Spatial operators
These operators enable you to perform spatial queries and filter data, based on various relationships between geometries. Here are the explanations for some commonly used spatial operators:
- ‘Intersect’ filter
This filter allows you to query spatial data in GeoServer based on geometric intersection relationships. This filter returns all features that have any spatial intersection or overlap.

The syntax for the Intersect filter in CQL is as follows:
```
Intersects(the_geom,Point(-90 40))
```
- ‘Within’ filter
The Within filter checks if a spatial object is completely within another spatial object. This filter retrieves all features that are located within the boundaries of a specified geometric shape, using spatial relationships.
```
Within(the_geom,Polygon((-100 30,-100 45,-80 45,-80 30,-100 30)))
```
- ‘Contains’ filter
This filter is the inverse of the “Within” filter. It checks if a spatial object completely contains another spatial object and helps you retrieve features that fully enclose the specified geometry.
```
CONTAINS(the_geom,LINESTRING(-73.9 43.5,-77.76 42.56))
```
Bounding Box operators
The Bounding Box operator is used to filter data based on a specified bounding box. The “bbox” filter in CQL allows you to query spatial data in GeoServer based on a bounding box or a rectangular area.

CQL filters can also be utilized with the GET method. To use the bbox filter using the GET method, enter the following code in the URL address bar of your browser:
```
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=topp:states&bbox=-124.73142200000001,24.955967,-66.969849,49.371735&width=768&height=330&srs=EPSG:4326&format=application/openlayers&CQL_FILTER=BBOX(the_geom,-110,41,-95,45)
```
This filter enables you to retrieve all features that intersect, or are contained within the specified bounding box.

Sean Gillies: A new CLI for GDAL
sur Planet OSGeo
Even Rouault has proposed a new, modern, and more coherent command line interface (CLI) for the GDAL/OGR project. I think it's a good idea and a good time to do it. I've wanted a better one for about 15 years. Even credits Rasterio for inspiration, and that's gratifying to see. I started writing Rasterio 10 years ago in part because I wanted a better CLI for GDAL.

What I wanted in a GDAL CLI were the following features:
- A root command and a few subcommands, one namespace for everything.
- Uniform arguments and options with predictable ordering and naming.
- Good documentation of arguments and options.
- More subcommands with fewer options each. Making gdal_translate into 3-4 commands, for example.
- Input and output that favor stdin/stdout and JSON.
- Ease of installation. For example, with pip instead of an OS package manager.
I estimated in 2013-2014 that it was not feasible for me to achieve those goals within the GDAL project itself. GDAL and its community had no funding for this kind of work at the time. I found the GDAL project's tests somewhat inscrutable and frustrating. A hefty legacy of documentation and folk wisdom about the old ways would have to be updated. Mostly by me, certainly. And the GDAL user community largely did not care. Free software that was fast and effective (and, most of all, free!) was already more than most people had dreamed of. A GIS analyst had so many business and organizational problems to deal with already that the rough edges of gdalinfo and gdal_translate didn't even crack her top 20. Software polish wasn't a big concern in the second decade of FOSS4G. I think it's still a hard thing to sell. Individual consumers will pay money for slick, well-designed software that makes them feel good. Organizations value polish less. And neither GDAL nor Rasterio sell anything to individual consumers.

Overhauling gdal_translate, ogr2ogr, and friends within the GDAL project looked like a non-starter to me. Pushing a herd of boulders up a hill, by myself, for free, for a community that was largely content with working around and stepping over these boulders. I think I made the right choice for myself. I got to start from scratch, move fast, and use a modern CLI framework. I made a command line interface for Rasterio that, while not perfect, met most of my goals. And I didn't go broke or burn out while doing it.

Today, thanks to years of fundraising work by Howard Butler, Paul Ramsey, Kristian Evers, and Even, the GDAL project does have funding to overhaul its command line interface as an aspect of overall project health and maintenance. Multiple developers can be paid to work on it. They won't have to donate their time to it as I would have. Rasterio's command line interface can't be adopted by GDAL, or be forked to become GDAL's because it doesn't have all the features of existing GDAL programs (or even of gdal_translate and ogr2ogr for that matter), and my decision to have more subcommands with fewer options is kind of against the grain of GDAL. But the new GDAL CLI can adopt the demonstrably useful features and design of Rasterio's. JSON output, for example, is something that GDAL has already picked up from Rasterio.

Rasterio will certainly fade a little if the new GDAL CLI is designed and executed well. But that's in the nature of software and software communities. Rasterio has always depended on GDAL and benefited from being built on a technically solid and well loved foundation. And I didn't invent CLI subcommands and JSON output, not at all. It's not unfair. If you succeed in open source, if you move the needle, you will be emulated. In this case, I think we can call it progress. I'm content.

In the long run, I stand to get half of what I originally wanted from a GDAL CLI, the first three of the six features I listed above. And there's probably still room for a suite of Unix style programs with different opinions and design decisions, especially if it and GDAL agree on basic concepts, arguments, options, and flags.

Dressing Miku

tldr: miku-earth is an interactive map of people's drawings of the virtual idol Hatsune Miku dressed in the national costumes of countries and subcultures around the world.I like to imagine that Hatsune Miku is just the first step in a new era of virtual celebrities, paving the way for the likes of William Gibson’s Rei Toei to suddenly emerge as real virtual beings.

Sean Gillies: Your account is deactivated
sur Planet OSGeo

I stopped using Twitter a while ago. Then it was rebranded as "X". I dithered about deleting my account. Would it be taken over by crypto scammers or an 18 year-old Russian army private or contractor? I've come to the conclusion that I don't care anymore. They can have it if they want. I've downloaded my archive and clicked "deactivate your account".

If you see a post from an @sgillies on X, it isn't me.
