Prefarm Systems and economical analysis of practical experiences

The system of Precision farming guarantees a detail monitoring of data and information necessary for a successful decision in a crop production. The system is designed for a data collection from several sources. The data are collected by a service company and also directly by farmers. The paper also analyses the economical efficiency on the base of Medlov Farm. Next development is currently running under projects Prezem and AgriSensor.GPS, GIS, precision farming, economical analysis, monitoring, Farm Management, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies,

Enabling Efficient Discovery of and Access to Spatial Data Services

Spatial data represent valuable information and a basis for decision making processes in society. The number of specialisms that use spatial data for such purposes is increasing. Increasing is also the number of services enabling to search, access, process, analyse or visualise spatial data. Standardisation activities of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) support standardised sharing of services through the Web. However, many services declared as OGC compliant do not respond or they are not available. The paper introduces an innovative solution for efficient discovery of and access to spatial data services compliant with OGC specifications. The research was performed in the context of the EnviroGRIDS geoportal. Several thousands of harvested services were quality checked and the summary of the testing including the identified problems are presented

Linked Open Data for Environmental Protection in Smart Regions – from INSPIRE Data to Semantic WEB Data

This paper introduces with the specific objectives and initial results of the recently started project SmartOpenData - “Linked Open Data for Environmental Protection in Smart Regions” (SmOD project) that is supported by Seventh Framework ENV.2013.6.5-3: Exploiting the European Open Data Strategy to Mobilize the Use of Environmental Data and Information. The main concept of this project is based on idea to create real Linked Open Data (SmOD) infrastructure (also software tools and data sets) fed by freely available public data sources for biodiversity, environment protection and research in European rural territories, protected areas and national parks that satisfy the requirements of four (almost all possible) groups of target users of this product: public authorities, companies (also small and medium enterprises (SMEs), researchers and citizens. It is very important, that The SmOD project will focus also on how this initiative can be linked with the INSPIRE directive regulation, GEOSS Data-CORE, Copernicus (former GMES), completed environmental data related European scale Geographic Information System (GIS) projects (like Habitats project) and external third parties, as well as how it can impact economic and sustainability progress in European environmental protection and research. Five pilot project developments (for agro forestry management, environmental research and biodiversity, water monitoring, forest sustainability and environmental data re-use) will focus on metadata harmonization, semantic context how to reach spatial data fusion, as well how to visualize and publish the information in accordance of requirements of target users of that products
