  • HTML map and table with data on protected sites
     
    In this tutorial you will learn how to access geospatial data using web services that implement the OGC API Features interface. 
    • You will use docker images to install and run an OGC API Features server on your local computer providing data on nature reserves
    • You will learn how to interact with this service instance in various ways: a) with a browser b) with QGIS c) with Python from a Jupyter notebook

    4. Summary and Discussion
     
    Target Audience and Prerequisites
    This tutorial is designed for students and professionals who want to improve their understanding of Spatial Information Infrastructures. We assume that you have some basic knowledge about geospatial data, QGIS and Python. In this case you will need about 90 minutes to use this tutorial.
    It would be great if you also had some experience with Docker and Jupyter Notebooks. However, the OER will guide you through all of these technologies and can also be used to gain initial hands-on experience with them.
