About the course

During the winter semester 2014/15 the bachelor students at the Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi) worked on a web platform for commenting on geospatial datasets.
The course Geosoft II introduces students to advanced application development (web services, user interfaces) for geospatial data. This year the students had to work with standardized metadata for geospatial data (WMS, WFS, ...) and create a user-friendly platform to create new geospatial data in the form of user comments on spatial data. You can download the full project requirements document for details.

The course was taught by Holger Fritze and Daniel NĂ¼st.


Projects

In the following we will shortly present the results of the five groups - be sure to try out the demos (from within university network only). And of course all source code is open source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/organizations/Geosoft2/

CommenTerra

CommentTerra is a web application, which allows a community-based commenting, rating, sharing, and searching of geospatial data sets. Users should be encouraged to engage in a discussion though their reviews.
