opendataPoster_francaise(1) Data - GIS at University of Chicago Some of these data sites are more specific by subject or by region than others. However, it is suggested to first try the links under the “National and International Data” heading before going to more specific sites. The National and International sites are more generic in some instances and may have the data that you are trying to locate. When searching these sites, the keywords of “GIS” and the “subject” in question are usually good starting points if you are having difficulty. Map Collection (Regenstein Library) The University of Chicago Libraries have access to a large number of digital GIS datasets. Some spatial information is not in digital format.

Free GIS Datasets - Categorised List SRTM Tile Grabber Note: This tool doesn't work as of January 2021, because the data paths it pointed to on external mirrors have changed. You can download tiles from CGIAR's website here. This map may still be useful for finding figuring out which file name you're interested in downloading. This interface attempts to ease the pain of downloading elevation data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. Click on red tiles to download their corresponding data. Each tile comes in GeoTIFF format at 90-meter resolution (6000x6000 pixels), from various mirrors I've found on the web. The files linked here are version 4.1 of an effort by the folks at CIAT-CSI to scrub, polish, and remove gaps in the raw SRTM data released by NASA. Any download policies of the respective mirrors apply.

OpenStreetMapData Les data en forme Sept jours de data-journalism. L'excellente et très attendue chronique hebdomadaire des journalistes de données d'OWNI. Avec cette semaine des affreux Parisiens, des Chinois plein de fric et de la belle nourriture intoxiquée. C’est mal, mais nous allons débuter cet article en nous comportant comme d’affreux parisiens. Le premier projet data sur lequel nous attirons votre attention est une cartographie des inégalités de revenus en Ile-de-France, proposée par Jean Abbiateci, sur le désormais indispensable blog d’Elsa Fayner, Et voilà le travail. La carte présente trois indicateurs : le niveau des inégalités des revenus des ménages franciliens, l’évolution de ces mêmes inégalités dans le temps et à titre de comparaison, le revenu fiscal médian. La démarche, expliquée dans l’article accompagnant la cartographie, se distingue par son accessibilité. Les inégalités de revenus en Ile-de-France, par Jean Abbiateci Chinese men Cartographie des investissement de la Chine, par The Heritage Foundation

Are you tired of ho-hum cartography advice? OpenStreetMap Data: How to Download Crowd-Sourced OSM Data - GIS Geography What is OpenStreetMap (OSM)? OpenStreetMap is like the Wikipedia of maps. It’s the largest community of mappers in the world who constantly edit the geography of our changing planet. See, the problem with Google Maps data is that it’s proprietary and extremely difficult to obtain. And often other types of detailed data come at great costs. So we needed something open for the world to edit. As “open” is the key philosophy to OpenStreetMap, this is also true for data being “open”.

OpenStreetMap is the data set you need that you didn’t know existed for public consumption. Turns out, that there are several ways to download OpenStreetMap data. My suggestion is Geofabrik because it’s organized by continent, country, and then province or state. And I also prefer downloading OSM data as shapefiles. What types of features are in OSM Data? Building footprints are notably impressive.

European Environment Agency - GIS Data and Maps The pan-European High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity product suite (HR-VPP) are provided at a high spatial resolution (10 m x 10 m) with a high repeat frequency. They are derived from the optical Sentinel-2 constellation data (Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B) with a revisit time of 5 days. They are generated over the entire EEA39 region (33 member countries and 6 cooperating countries) from January 1 2017 onwards, with a daily, 10-daily and yearly frequency (see below). The HR-VPP product suite contains 3 product groups, 31 product types, 1522 files and more than 900.000 tiles per year, which totals more than 80 Terra Bytes of data, per year. The figure shows the difference in emissions of POPs between 2005 and 2019 This interactive data viewer provides accounts of imperviousness, i.e. land surface sealing status in Europe (EEA39 and EU27+UK) for the year 2018. Historical greenhouse gas emissions from the EU buildings sector show a decreasing trend since 2005.

It’s not (just) about apps. It’s about the open data. In a Fast Company post earlier this week, information architect and user experience consultant Hana Schank is skeptical of whether New York City takes digital seriously. The city’s approach to digital development” focuses on plenty of sizzle, not much steak,” writes Schank. “It’s time for the city to deeply explore what New York’s citizens actually need, and the ways in which those citizens are likely to behave.” Schank is onto an important trend, although perhaps a bit late to the party: throughout 2011, there’s been a rising tide of opinion that apps contests and hackathons should make tech citizens need. People like Clay Johnson have been suggesting that government focus on building community, not apps contests for some time. Schank may have touched a nerve in the NYC digital tech community, given that +Dave Winer shared her piece on Twitter earlier today. “I was discussing this just the other day. As 2011 comes to a close, the verdict is in. A fair assessment of NYC Big Apps 3.0?
