Item Reflections on a community-based service learning approach in a geoinformatics project module(SpringerLink, 2016-10)Geoinformatics (also known as geographic information science) is the science and technology that underpins the collection, representation, processing, analysis, visualisation and dissemination of geographic information. Such information is hugely valuable in solving environmental and social problems in society. In this paper we reflect on a community-based service learning approach in a third year geoinformatics module. Students mapped an informal settlement, captured information about dwellings and conducted a number of studies in support of environmental and social problem solving. The aim was to raise awareness of social issues, to understand students’ sense of social responsibility and their understanding of the role of geoinformatics in solving community problems. After completion of the module, we conducted in-depth interviews with ten students. The results confirm the value of community-based service learning in enhancing understanding of theoretical concepts and contributing to local communities. Further work is needed to better understand how South African geoinformatics students can be made aware of the role of geoinformatics in solving problems in society.Item A solution for processing large files in the LASer (LAS) format using the message passing interface (MPI) and parallel file systemsWendel, Jeffrey; Finn, Michael P.; Kosovich, John; Falgout, Jeff; Liu, Yan (International Cartographic Association (ICA), 2015)Paper presented at the 27th International Cartographic Conference: Spatial data infrastructures, standards, open source and open data for geospatial (SDI-Open 2015) 20-21 August 2015, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.Item Discussing the role of university in spatial data infrastructure construction : issues and challenges for UERJ-V-SDIRamos, Jose Augusto Sapienza; Ferreira, Carlos Eduardo Goncalves (International Cartographic Association (ICA), 2015)Paper presented at the 27th International Cartographic Conference: Spatial data infrastructures, standards, open source and open data for geospatial (SDI-Open 2015) 20-21 August 2015, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.Item Open standards and formats used in the implementation of a marine spatial data infrastructure at The Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation of the Brazilian navyCarballini, Juan; Mandarino, Cmdr.
