Fantastic Data and Where to Find Them: Learn to use GIS Services

Speaker: Dr. Roberto Maria Rossi - Department of Geosciences | Wednesday 10 September 2025 | 2,00 - 5,00 pm - Classroom 2G

10.09.2025

This seminar will explore how to use raster data (e.g. ortophotos, DTMs), and vector data (e.g. thematic polygons), in both OGC protocols (WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS) and REST services. We'll also see how REST services can be used in geoprocessing workflows or to download selected datasets for offline use.
