With nearly 250 datasets released by different geo-authorities (thank you!) the appsforgeo.be co-creation hackaton was already a success. Three teams battled during the day to make a useful application from this.
Just before the presentation, geo data-owners from Federal and three regions reflected upon a benchmark made by Solvay students on Geo-datasets in neighboring countries. Other actors from the Open Data scene ,like Finland OKFN chapter, Data.be, OKFN,… participated in a lively discussion on what is allowed with data, absence of licenses even if datas are released,…
The jury and audience listened to following presentations:
Team Geosolutions- Geofreedback map (automatic error correction tool on combined map data)
Team Nostalgeeks – Nostalgeo (Web/mobile app to map existing data and old data like postcards and maps)
Team Nextl@b – Daily Workers Mirgration Analysis (Georeferening statistical datasets for analysis)
Access to AppsforFlanders- AppsforEurope went to Nextl@b; The smartphone to Nostalgeeks, and all three were awarded a prize by ESRI. No datasets of Essent were used this time. Data.be released a special geo-coded version of its database for the first appsforgeo.be hackaton.
The datasets released can still be accessed via www.appsfogeo.be as well ; and at respective geo-portals
