🌿🌧️ Predicting the extent of invasive Buffelgrass is important for its management. Travis Matlock, a runner-up in the @uazlibraries 2024 #DataVisualization Challenge, in collaboration with the USA NPN, created an informative map that tracks rainfall "events" over a 30-day period to forecast buffelgrass green-up 1–2 weeks in advance. Check out the map here: doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.2570

@MDradelt an dieser Stelle eine Frage ans @BKG:

Was steht dem entgegen, dass euer Datenschatz für gemeinnützige Zwecke wie #OpenStreetMap ODbL-kompatibel freigegeben wird?

Die bestehenden #OpenData-Angebote erlauben nur eine CC BY 4.0-Nutzung.

Wer ist für die Lizenzentscheidung verantwortlich bzw welche Gründe sprachen damals dagegen, eine so offensichtliche Nutzung wie #OpenStreetMap mit dieser Entscheidung nicht zu ermöglichen?

@bmdv @mid_lsa

Offene Daten besser sichtbar & nutzbar machen 🗃️

Wie kann #OpenData für Bürger:innen, Wirtschaft & Verwaltung einen größeren Mehrwert bieten? Dieser Frage gehen Forschende der #TUDresden in einer aktuellen Umfrage nach.

Sie ermitteln, welche Bedarfe & Anforderungen Nutzer:innen offener Daten haben & welche Faktoren die Nutzung von Portalen, wie das der Landeshauptstadt #Dresden, maßgeblich beeinflussen.
