Free and open source software in geoinformation technologies. Emphasis is placed on the framework orientation in the issue. A comprehensive overview of available tools, their use and deployment in practical applications is provided during the course.
In the exercises, students are introduced to desktop tools such as GRASS GIS, QGIS, SAGA or gvSig, GDAL, PROJ, PDAL libraries and other similar tools. Part of the course focuses on active scripting and developing plugins using the Python programming language. In addition, the students will get a general introduction to publishing geographic data and implementing GIS analyses in the Internet environment, GeoServer and MapServer, pygeoapi and OWSLib libraries, publishing platforms such as Gisquick, GeoNode and Margin Maps. Also mentioned are the issues of freely available geographic data, open geodata, and active data collection for the OpenStreetMap community project. Automation of deployment using Ansible and Docker technologies is mentioned in passing.
Teaching is implemented on the open source platform GIS.lab.
