Cross border category

• Name of the solution: Citadel on the Move

• Institution name: Issy Média
• Country: France
• Type of the solution: Free Software

• Comments: Developer resources for this project can be found here and in Github. It seems to be a case of having to check licence files in each of the published projects. Can the services be run by yourself from the software side? There's a mix of PHP and other things, so maybe you can deploy this stuff yourself. They don't exactly make this immediately obvious, though.

• Licences:
  • GPLv3:
    • converter-php-lib

    • CitadelOnTheMove.github.io

    • (They actually don't have the copying notice, but instead just include the licence in a file.)
  • CC BY 4.0 (permissively licensed):
    • agt
    • Citadel-Crowd-sourcing-Template
    • Citadel-Environmental-Template
    • Citadel-Events-Template
    • Citadel-Parkings-Template
    • Citadel-Pois-Template
  • 3-clause BSD licence (or similar):
    • citadel-events-template-1
    • treefinder
  • No obvious licence:
    • converter-gui
    • converter-lib
    • converter-portlet
    • CitySDK-Citadel-Script
    • (These look like project boilerplate and build scripts)

• Name of the solution: gvSIG

• Institution name: Generalitat Valenciana
• Country: Spain
• Type of the solution: Free Software

• Comments: It is Free Software, GPLv2. Source code is here. There is no licence file there, but the documentation reads that if you contribute a plugin or component, it should be compatible with GPLv2.

• Name of the solution: Oskari

• Institution name: National Land Survey of Finland
• Country: Finland
• Type of the solution: Open Source software

• Comments: Oskari is a map solution for websites. The source code appears to be available. The server (backend and frontend) is dual-licensed under the EUPL and MIT licenses. The backend is written in Java, the frontend in Javascript. It uses various other Libre components (such as PostgreSQL/PostGIS). It looks like it should be possible to set this up if you are familiar with putting Java web services into production. The documentation seems to cover this. It looks like a Free Software solution that shouldn't be too hard for someone to set up if they know what they're doing. It has apparently already been reused internationally, according to the description.

• Name of the solution: Sentilo

• Institution name: Institut Municipal d’Informàtica. Ajuntament de Barcelona
• Country: Spain
• Type of the solution: Free Software

• Comments: It is Free Software, EUPL + GLGPL. The source code is here.

National category

• Name of the solution: AERIUS

• Institution name: National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)
• Country: The Netherlands
• Type of the solution: Free Software
• Comments:

• Name of the solution: OSiP Online-Sicherheitsprüfung

• Institution name: Ministry of Interior of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (Ministerium für Inneres und Kommunales NRW)
• Country: Germany
• Type of the solution: Free Software
• Comments: It looks like a nice tool but if you click on 'download releases', you get 'Your search yielded no results'. Without the source code you cannot run the software.

• Name of the solution: PDOK (Public Services On the Map)

• Institution name: The Dutch Cadastre, Land Registry and Mapping Agency (Kadaster)
• Country: The Netherlands
• Type of the solution: Shared Service

• Comments: The example page shows what is possible, when wanting to create graphs for governmental viewing. https://geonovum.github.io/pdokkaart/examples Documentation and issues are available, but mostly in Dutch only https://geonovum.github.io/pdokkaart/help.html Underneath are technologies like GeoNetwork http://geonetwork-opensource.org/ National datasets under various open licenses http://www.nationaalgeore gister.nl/geonetwork/srv/dut/catalog.search PDOK itself seems to be GPLv3, although this is not clearly stated. Geonovum is working together with governement to organize the geospatial data, and take good steps to forward open standards and free software, from what I can tell from clicking around a bit. So: worthwhile, although the applicability might be limited (wizard for rendering certain view), and the development and documentation is mainly Dutch only.
