Hi @Brian Matthews and @Marion Samler

It would great to hear what DAFNI is doing at a city level please and what data you have that might address city challenges. This is one of the areas where there is a lot of interest (and need) to combine data sets and models.

Many thanks

Nick

 

We will have city level data from our partners i.e. UKCRIC Urban Observatories.  This city level data relates to Newcastle, Sheffield, Bristol, and following these will will be looking to bring on data from Birmingham, Manchester and Cranfield.

Hi Keith,

We are currently working on our current release – we’ll publish the details of the metadata framework with release.   We are using a standard for capturing metadata on datasets call DCAT and combining that with Geospatial and sensor standards.    The metadata should be extensible fro different domains.   Would there be any standards you would like to see included?

thanks

Brian

Hi Keith, 

We would welcome you and anyone else that might be interesting in learning more about DAFNI developments, to join our mailing list as we will post details of the metadata framework via our newsletter.  You can join it via this link:  https://www.dafni.ac.uk/#subscribe.

Hi Steven and Brian,

Many thanks for the points around geospatial data. The National Digital Twin programme is working with the Geospatial Commission to look at this we see strong interest from DT Hub members in geospatial data/model and in combining this with hydrological, environmental and other data sets.

This could also be a really important area where DAFNI can help industry to make progress.

In DAFNI we are working hard to connect with other data centres and data sources enabling researchers to access this data from a single source.    For instance climate data is available from Jasmin and we are building links with them to enable sharing of data through DAFNI.  We are very interested in doing this for other data types/sources.
