Course content
The course aims to introduce students to methods and methods of publishing and sharing geodata and relevant analytical functions online using the Internet. The course progressively covers online solutions, mobile solutions, web services and sensor systems. The first part focuses on the architecture and operation of map and GIS servers, using the University of Minnesota's Mapserver, Geoserver, and ArcGIS Server as examples. The course introduces students to the management, configuration, and use of each technology from the perspective of both the administrator and user of GIS services. Students are introduced to web services and standards defined by the OpenGIS Consortium. The following areas include mobile GIS - its specifics and architecture. This is followed by the third part - technologies for InDoor navigation and LBS services. The interpretation focuses on the fundamental analysis of these technologies. Standards for data transmission, storage and filtering and the possibility of integration with GIT are discussed. Students will learn how to publish maps, tools and models and learn how to use GIS services through web-based applications and cloud-based solutions. The third part follows this, the basic concept of the sensor web. The lecture focuses on a fundamental analysis of these technologies helpful in monitoring spatial phenomena. Standards for data transmission, storage and filtering and the possibility of integration with GIT are discussed.
