I am convinced that we can and should exploit technological advances for facilitating spatial analyses. Web services are one pathway to open, collaborative and reproducible spatial analysis. |
Promoting Geospatial Infrastructures to facilitate regional and domain-specific information systems, distributed spatial analysis and web-centric visual interfaces. “Digitally interfacing with the spatial dimensions of our world” requires services-based access to geospatial information! |
Instructor teaching OpenGIS and Spatial DBMS. Involved in standardizing 4D data exchange and semantically harmonizing spatial data and metadata structures for spatial data infrastructures supporting the cross-domain integration of spatial big data in Enterprise Geoportals. |
Lead for partnerships and project as well as educational collaboration in Central Asia, including advising students from this region. Promoting the development of regional SDI, teaching SDI/OpenGIS within a distance learning framework. |

Currently working on a PhD within the FFG project “OLS3D“, exploring the harmonisation and linkability of building and facility data for modeling of 2D and 3D industry production environments. |
After completing his PhD on “Enhancing Discovery in Geoportals – Geo-Enrichment, Semantic Enhancement and Recommendation Strategies for Geo-Information Discovery” he continues to teach and contributes to research in SDI (Metadata), Semantic Text Analytics & Ontologies. |
Currently starting to work on her PhD, research orientation towards web cartography, geovisualisation, application development, usability and user experience. |
Emmanuel’s current research lies within the discipline of GIScience, emphasizing on the conceptualization and modelling of “Place-based GIS”. His main research interests include knowledge representation, reasoning, data visualization, Semantic Web, reality modeling, ontology engineering and machine learning.
