WMS Integrator: continuous access to neighboring WMS

The INSPIRE Directive, and SDI initiatives, promote that geographic data (GI) is updated and maintained in the most appropriate level or who is responsible. This fact motivates the emergence of many map services (WMS) that offer the same data in different geographical contexts. The atomization of WMS, for geographic domains, difficult the use for users interested in a topic: they must search for WMS, select layers and handle overlapping. This poster presents a facilitator node that manages WMS: URLs, layers, CRS, formats and versions, and offering a seamless WMS that integrate horizontally and vertically layers offered by WMS cascaded. The most important contributions of developed facilitator node (WMS-integrator) are the ability to: carry out some verifications, requests to the different WMS versions, mask spatially responses by boundaries polygons and merge the responses to finally deliver a single image as result that avoid data overlappin

Utilidad y significado de la infraestructura de datos espaciales de España. Hermenéutica de la IDEE

La Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales de España (www.idee.es), en funcionamiento desde el verano del 2004, es un proyecto cooperativo, de autoría colectiva, en el que participan organismos e instituciones de los tres ámbitos de la Administración Pública (general, regional y local), del entorno universitario y del sector privado. Básicamente consiste en un sistema distribuido en la Red que permite a cualquier usuario mediante un simple navegador (browser) la búsqueda, localización, visualización, superposición en pantalla, consulta, análisis y, en ocasiones, descarga de los datos geográficos disponibles en más de quince servidores pertenecientes a diferentes organismos cartográficos de España, que ofrecen mapas a varias escalas, nomenclátores, ortofotos, imágenes de satélite, catastro, etc., todo ello, con cobertura nacional, facilidad de acceso y sencillez de uso

Las IDE como evolución natural de los SIG

La IDEE es un proyecto cooperativo, de autoría colectiva, en el que colaboran organismos e instituciones de los tres ámbitos de la Administración (general, regional y local), del entorno universitario y del sector privado. Esta impresionante oferta de información geográfica, junto con las funcionalidades que aportan las tecnologías de Infraestructuras de Datos Espaciales (IDE), permite vislumbrar un abanico de líneas de trabajo, todavía inexploradas, de gran interés para todos los especialistas, técnicos e investigadores que manejan o precisan de cartografía en su quehacer cotidiano, que veremos en el presente artículo

Una nueva etapa: hacia la IDE 2.0

El desarrollo de las Infraestructuras de Datos Espaciales (IDE) en España ha cubierto una primera etapa basada en el despliegue de servicios básicos, aplicaciones de visualización y apertura de geoportales. Una IDE paradigmática de esta primera fase, que podemos llamar convencionalmente IDE 1.0, incluiría: un visualizador con servicios de mapas WMS de ortofotos, imágenes de satélite y cartografía, un catálogo de metadatos (CSW, SRW, otro perfil, o soluciones no estándar), un servicio de Nomenclátor (WFS-G, WFS-MNE o soluciones no estándar) para realizar búsquedas por nombre, un servicio de descarga de datos (basado en WFS), ,y probablemente aplicaciones complementarias no estándar al margen de las specificaciones OGC, como, por ejemplo, utilidades de transformación de coordenadas, o un cliente pesado para realizar vuelos virtuales. En suma, la mayoría de los geoportales disponibles están orientados fundamentalmente a la visualización de datos geográficos

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries
