Here an impression from our 52°North booth at the INTERGEO fair which has taken place in Hannover during the past days. As you can see, we presented our work in the fields of Sensor Web, Web Processing, and also Linked Data and the Web of Things. We have met a lot of interesting contacts and received good feedback! Thanks to all who helped with the demonstrations and the organization!
The Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi) is looking for highly motivated candidates to fill two positions, one at the post-doc level and one at the PhD student level. Both positions are fully funded by the Linked Data for eScience Services (LIFE) project – a two-year project funded by the German Research Foundation, jointly carried out by the Semantic Interoperability Lab (MUSIL) at ifgi and the University Library at the University of Münster.
If you are interested, please find more information here.
The application process is open until October 15, 2012 or until the positions are filled.
After several months of work, we are happy to announce today the release of the OX-Framework 1.12*! Go ahead and check it out here.
Looking at the development during the past years, starting back in 2006, the OX-Framework (OWS Access Framework) was designed to be usable as a basis for Java applications providing easy access to all kinds of OGC Web Services. With the re-design of the OX-Framework to its current 1.12 version, we shifted the perspective of the OX-Framework more to a collection of API modules. These modules represent re-usable middleware components and focus on the interaction with Sensor Web services. Thereby, the OX-Framework still greatly facilitates the development of client as well as server applications. Today, 52°North’s latest SPS implementation, the SOS Importer and our various Sensor Web clients already utilize the OX-Framework 1.12.
OSGeo-Live 6.0 is released. For this release, all OSGeo-Live java applications have been successfully migrated to OpenJDK 7. Migration to OpenJDK was driven by Oracle’s announcement that including Sun Java in Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, or OSGeo-Live, is no longer allowed. In addition, the Xubuntu base has been upgraded to 12.04 LTS (Long Term Support).
