Metadata matters. Without it, data loses context and reliability. Tools like GeM+ simplify metadata creation and editing, ensuring quality and usability. The future of GIS? Smarter, more open, and more connected than ever 🚀 www.creaf.cat/en/articles/...

Why OGC APIs? They make geospatial data easier to access, share, and integrate, like IKEA for maps! 🌐 We say standards = interoperability. CREAF co-coordinates ILAF OGC to support Spanish & Portuguese communities in this transition.

During the annual meeting of the Iberian Conference on Spatial Data Infrastructures #JIIDE25, our team explored: ✅ Latest MiraMon updates ✅ Why OGC APIs matter for sharing geospatial data ✅ The importance of metadata and tools like GeM+ These trends are shaping the next generation of GIS.

We’ve been developing MiraMon for 30 years, a free, full-featured GIS that rivals #QGIS and #ArcGIS. 🛰️ It supports #remotesensing, #cartography, and #metadata management, making it a powerful tool for researchers and professionals worldwide. 🔗 Download MiraMon: www.miramon.cat/Index_eng.htm

🌍 What’s the future of Geographic Information Systems? Everything happens somewhere. #GIS helps us visualize, store, and analyze data tied to a location. But where is this #technology headed? 🧵

Do you see @citiobs.eu in the last October 2025 in Rotterdam organized by the @opengeospatial.bsky.social Pushing the Sensor things API WebSub

Hey Sean Duffy instead of answering #comet #3IATLAS questions from a fellow Reality TV star on social media why aren't you on CNN or even Fox instead - they could use some firm answers from actual experts at #NASA. Just sayin'

1️⃣ European Data Spaces are becoming closer to reality and will be central to the future of sharing Earth Observation data. Our researcher @joanma747.bsky.social leads an Action Group for the Green Deal Data Space with projects like: 👉SAGE 👉@ad4gd.eu 👉@citiobs.eu 👉@more4nature.eu

Other report “Guidance for strengthening citizen involvement in the management of nature in the Arctic” showcases a model that public authorities could use for establishing participatory local nature management with the support of citizens, in just 5 steps. 🔗 blog.more4nature.eu/news/arctic-...

What is the key for successful participatory science? Two new reports published by the Nordic Council of Ministers present examples of citizen involvement in nature management in the Arctic and set out a concrete framework for strengthening this engagement. #CitizenScience 👇🧵1/5

Registrations for the #LivingData2025 are OPEN! 🥳 This joint conference in Bogotá will bring together members of the biodiversity networks with hundreds of scientists, researchers, practitioners, and experts from around the world. 🐸

B-Cubed was featured at the #DataSpacesSymposium2025 in Warsaw 📡 At the event, @ad4gd.eu showcased B-Cubed’s sister projects, #USAGE and #FAIRiCUBE, highlighting their role in geospatial and biodiversity data integration 🛰️ 📖 Read more: t.co/Tv0nXgoLHM #EUGreenDeal @esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

Typography is based on the open source Outfit typography and angles, stroke width and design of some characters have been modified so that it can be visually related to the isotype.

The shape of a triangle as a basic element of the puzzle represents the three key elements of G-REQS, the users, the G-REQS team and the data providers. The color palette is made of soil tones and greens that in the collective imagination are associated with natural environments.

G-REQS is growing up needed a more serious logo. The dinosaur was transformed from a sum of bits into several pieces or folds. showing the collaborative intentionality of the project, where several users contribute their requirements and G-REQS forms a network of users and data providers.

📢 News from our @b-cubed.eu consortium includes the launch of a simple, easy-to-use service for creating & downloading #species #occurrence cubes based on @gbif.org! 📹 Hear more about it from @cabbageleek.bsky.social (Meise Botanic Garden) and Andrew Rodrigues ( @gbif.org) in this short video:

Can we monitor #biodiversity from space? YES. Last week, @creaf.cat researcher Ivette Serral attended the #Biospace25 conference at @esa.int. She showcased how a European Green Deal Data Space could enhace terrestrial habitat connectivity analysis using #EarthObservation, in-situ & #IoT data.

These are the 11 steps of the Life Cycle of Scientific #Data. Each one proposes specific challenges that the Common European #DataSpaces should take into account for each particular type of data. Which stage do you consider most critical?
