Panel Description

The European Strategy for Data, announced by the European Commission in February 2020, includes the Data Governance Act and the Data Act. By encouraging responsible access, sharing, and re-use while adhering to EU values, particularly the protection of personal data, the EU continues to create an unified digital market for data. The European Commission sought the advice of the national data protection authorities of the EU Member States due to the difficulties associated with the articulation of this new legislative framework on data with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With this in mind, the DPAs urge the co-legislators to provide more protections for data subjects in relation to the rights of access, use, and exchange of data. The DPAs also warned the EU legislators that the non-designation of data protection authorities for the supervision of the DGA could lead to real complexity for digital actors and data subjects, and undermine the consistency of the supervision of the application of the GDPR.

Panel

Open Data Advances and Challenges in Geospatial Society

Time: 10,00 - 11,00

Chair: Željko Bačić (University of Zagreb, Faculty of Geodesy, Croatia)

Panel description:

Today we are confronted with a situation in which the human community, through the application of various modern technologies, collects much more geospatial data than it can process and use. However, a large part of this data is not open, either it is not available or there is a cost for its use, so we are in a paradoxical situation where we still do not have enough data for all users' needs. Open data therefore represents the next stage in the development of the geospatial/geoinformatics society, because the basic prerequisite for this development is precisely open access – the availability of data. Where does open data stand today, what are its benefits, and the challenges of opening it up are questions to which we seek answers. Considering this paradox, we organized a panel entitled "Open data – progress and challenges in the geospatial society" as part of the Twinning Open Data Operational – TODO project and the International Conference on Open Data. The introductory lecture, aimed at highlighting the aspects that should stimulate reflection, will be held by Prof. Dr. Joep Crompvoets from the Catholic University of Leuven under the title "Is Open Data a hype or mainstream?", followed by a panel discussion where representatives of the business, administration and academic community from Croatia and abroad will try to answer this question. Our interlocutors and panelists are Ivica Skender (GDi), Tomislav Ciceli (DGU), Prof. Frederika Welle Donker (TU Delft) and Prof. Almin Đapo (Faculty of Geodesy), as well as the moderator Prof. Željko Bačić.

International Cooperation in Geospatial Domain: Egypt-Croatia
Time: 14,00 - 16,30
Chair: Željko Bačić (University of Zagreb, Faculty of Geodesy, Croatia)
Participants:

Amr H.A. Ali (Benha University, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Cairo)

Hany M.A. Ayad (Alexandria University, Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria)

Panel description:
Following on from the previous panel, "Open Data Advances and Challenges in Geospatial Society", which attempted to provide answers to some basic questions about data availability and the advantages and disadvantages of open data, an attempt will be made to take a step outside our usual framework. As the collection of geospatial data, especially using the data of remote observation of the Earth from space, as well as data processing, i.e. development applications, now knows no boundaries, international collaboration in geospatial domain is increasingly opening up and providing new opportunities for geoinformatics and other factors. The panel "International Cooperation in Geospatial Domain: Egypt-Croatia" was organised on the concrete example of two geographically distant countries, Egypt and Croatia, and the possibilities of cooperation in the field of geospatial domain. The introductory lectures will be held by Prof. Dr. Amr Hanafi Ali from the Geomatics Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering at Shoubra Benha University in Cairo and Prof. Dr. Hany Ayad from the Department of Architectural Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Alexandria. Following the panel discussion, participants will have the opportunity to engage in an open discussion on aspects of international cooperation in the field of geospatial data and the importance of open data in establishing and developing potential cooperation. The moderator of the panel and speaker will be Prof. Dr. Željko Bačić from the Faculty of Geodesy.

Lecture and Hands-on Workshop
Open Data Mapping: Increasing the Impact of Open Data through Visualisation and Communication

Lecture and Hands-on Workshop
Open Data Mapping: Increasing the Impact of Open Data through Visualisation and Communication
Time: 8,30 - 10,00
Chair: Ana Kuveždić Divjak (University of Zagreb, Faculty of Geodesy, Croatia)

We kindly ask all colleagues who will be participating in person to bring their laptops for this workshop.

You have accessed the open data sets you have been searching for, but how can you actually use that data to pursue questions, uncover patterns, make predictions, assess future changes, answer policy questions, and more? One solution would be to use data visualisation techniques and turn your raw data into visual information.

By mapping data attributes to visual properties such as position, size, shape, and colour, visualisation designers use their perceptual skills to help users see and understand trends, outliers, and patterns in the data. However, data can be visualised in many different ways. As you will learn in this workshop, some visualisations are more effective than others, depending on the context and target audience. Tables, for example, are great for showing one-dimensional outliers like the top ten, but they are poor for comparing multiple dimensions at once. Line charts are particularly useful for showing trends over time, while bar charts are perfect for comparing categorical data. The power of maps is that they reconnect the data to our physical world. Without their geospatial component, many open data sets would have much less impact.

This workshop takes a hands-on approach to geospatial data visualisation through a series of practical examples. We will show you where to find and how to access open datasets and how to handle common data formats such as CSV, GeoJSON, and Shapefiles. You’ll work through data attributes and map features using open technologies and open GIS tools. Along the way, we will cover key concepts such as map projections and coordinate reference systems, attributes and features and encoding data with colours. We will cover key design principles and best practises in cartography and geospatial data visualisation and guide you on how to approach attractive, effective, and ethical data visualisation design.
