The central component in any enterprise open source GIS is a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database that integrates with QGIS. At LunaGeo, we design many databases for clients in many different sectors, such as telecommunications, archaeology, agriculture, and environmental consulting. Although no two databases are identical, there are three basic spatial database designs that we tend to use, namely:

Local governments are increasingly migrating to open source GIS. By combining QGIS, PostGIS, and Geoserver, staff are able to complete all required tasks with minimal overhead costs. Without licence restrictions, local governments are able to centralize all GIS data, put GIS on every desk, and control data access through a robust permission system and data auditing. This webinar will present six practical examples demonstrating how local governments can use open source GIS for day-to-day tasks, namely:

Multiuser editing is a fundamental requirement for an enterprise GIS and it is easily achievable with an open source GIS stack. In its simplest form, multiuser editing includes the ability to define various users or groups within an organization and grant certain types of permissions for each, such as read-only, editing, or administration rights. It is a way to control how data are accessed and maintained within the organization, and therefore it is critical to maintaining the integrity of mission critical data. Combining QGIS and PostGIS gives GIS administrators the ability to configure a robust, scalable multiuser environment that includes all of these capabilities. This webinar will introduce viewers to the following concepts and features:

Geoserver is an open source GIS server that can share raster and vector data to the web, desktop, and mobile applications using various standard web services, such as WMS/WMTS and WFS. Building upon our previous webinar which discussed serving raster data, this webinar demonstrates how to share vector data from various sources, including Geopackage, Shapefile, and PostGIS. We will also discuss layer symbology, caching, Geoserver extensions, and the use of alternative output formats, such as vector tiles and Geopackage. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we will review some security best practices when handling vector data.

In 2020, during the height of the pandemic I moved from the US to Denmark. It was my work with QGIS that gave me this opportunity, among many others. I have taught QGIS in six different countries. During this talk I will discuss observations about consulting with QGIS in different countries including my new home of Denmark. This will allow me to compare and contrast how I have experienced QGIS and GIS data being used in different cultures. I will also highlight my experience writing QGIS books and providing QGIS support.

QGIS is more than just a viewer for PostGIS data. In an enterprise environment, users are able to centralize QGIS projects, symbology, attribute forms, key business logic, and custom tools. By leveraging many of the functions within PostgreSQL, such as trigger functions, database constraints, and the permission system, users are able to have full control over their data lifecycle. This presentation will discuss an ongoing project to build a telecom design application using QGIS and PostGIS. With a total of 93 related tables representing both spatial and tabular data, the database was designed with a number of trigger functions (spatial and non-spatial), an audit table to monitor progress and track errors, dynamic symbology that pulls values from multiple tables, complex QGIS attribute forms, and multi-user editing. In the end, we are building a scalable platform that can be used by 5, 10, or 1000+ users concurrently.

The city and the territory embrace the complexity of today’s life and it is where the life of the future is projected. Urban planning and design must be able to respond to the various layers that make up this complexity and, to do that, traditional planning tools are not enough, but rather it is necessary to rely on data, network and flow analysis tools to be able to model dynamic systems. In this sense, it is necessary to be aware that cities are part of a larger ecosystem and are not immutable realities, but rather they have to adapt to changing contexts.

QGIS is often the best choice for academics invested in reproducible research, collaboration, and education. University of California Davis has an every-growing QGIS user base, due in part to the support and training we provide at the Library and DataLab, but also because it meets our researcher’s needs for open tools that work on a variety of computing platforms that their research partners off campus can also access. I will discuss the reasons open source in general, and QGIS in particular, is a valuable tool in research involving spatial data and discuss some examples of recent Library and DataLab projects that use QGIS, including the American Viticultural Areas (AVA) Digitizing Project. The goal of the AVA Project is to create a free and open spatial dataset of the US Government’s AVA boundaries suitable for use in academic research. Since the project began in 2017, the UC Davis team has been joined by UC Santa Barbara, Virginia Tech, and dozens of individual contributors to digitize almost 300 complex polygons representing these designated wine marketing regions and the dataset has been used in academic research and in the wine industry.

No matter what field you work in (archaeology, forestry, ecology, engineering, etc.) Mergin Maps empowers QGIS users with a sleek mobile data collection solution for both Android and iOS users. During this webinar, Peter Petrík, the CPO of Mergin Maps, will give a demo of Input and show how it integrates into QGIS via the Mergin plugin. With the Input mobile app, users can leverage QGIS forms to collect data, attach pictures, and collect data simultaneously with other users. Further, Peter will also show how data collected in the field using the Input app can sync to/from a PostGIS database, thus closing the gap between field and server. Mergin Maps is truly a game changer for those wanting to migrate to open source GIS.

Geopackage is an OGC-compliant open file format for geospatial data that allows users to store data in a single file. As a file-based database built with SQLite, Geopackage stores vector and raster data, QGIS project files, and default symbology together, making Geopackage an efficient way to manage and share project data. This webinar reviews Geopackage specifications and demonstrates how Geopackage in QGIS can be used to store, analyze, and exchange geospatial data within the QGIS environment.

Spatial SQL Isn’t Scary—it’s a practical and powerful way to work with vector and raster geospatial data using the lingua franca of the database world: Structured Query Language (SQL). By combining a relational database management system like PostgreSQL with its spatial extension, PostGIS, users gain access to a rich set of spatial functions—often described as having a full “GIS in a box.” Geared toward introductory users, this webinar walks through basic SQL queries, common spatial queries in PostGIS, and shows how Spatial SQL fits naturally into everyday workflows in QGIS.
