UCGIS BoK – GEOTEC

Funding institution: University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (United States)
Total budget: 51.900 € / Budget UJI: 26.400 €
Duration: March 2023-September 2023

In the EO4GEO project, GEOTEC developed 1/ EO4GEO BoK Platform to store, serve and make the EO*GI Body of Knowledge (BoK) publicly accessible, and 2/ the EO4GEO ecosystem of tools, which exploit the Body of Knowledge and provide specific functionalities for the professionals and educational GI sector. The project also adopted the Living TextBook, developed by the University of Twente (ITC), which was used to edit and evolve the Body of Knowledge, before it is finally exported to the BoK platform for storage, visualization and further exploitation.

In the UCGIS BoK project, GEOTEC is working together with the University of Twente (ITC) to transplant the EO4GEO BoK evolution workflow and tools to the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS in the United States. This includes helping UCGIS to extract their BoK content from their current setup, customising and deploying the EO4GEO platform and all tools for UCGIS, and populating the UCGIS setup with the UCGIS content.

GEOTEC’s responsibility in this project is the updating and deployment of the EO4GEO BoK platform and tools, and the connection between the Living TextBook and the BoK platform. The University of Twente is responsible for assisting UCGIS with content extraction from the current storage, and updating and deploying the Living TextBook and importing UCGIS content.

abstract = {The EO4GEO Body of Knowledge (BoK) forms a structure of concepts and relationships between them, describing the domain of Earth Observation and Geo-Information (EO/GI). Each concept carries a short description, a list of key literature references and a set of associated skills which are used for job profiling and curriculum building. As the EO/GI domain is evolving continuously, the BoK needs regular updates with new concepts embodying new trends, and deprecating concepts which are not relevant anymore. This paper presents the inclusion of BoK concepts related to Artificial Intelligence. This broad field of knowledge has links to several applications in EO/GI. Its connection to concepts, already existing in the BoK, needs special attention. To perform a clean and structural integration of the cross-cutting domain of AI, first a separate cluster of AI concepts was created, which was then merged with the existing BoK. The paper provides examples of this integration with specific concepts and examples of training resources in which AI-related concepts are used. Although the presented structure already provides a good starting point, the positioning of AI within the EO/GI-focussed BoK needs to be further enhanced with the help of expert calls as part of the BoK update cycle.},
