GeoQ on GitHub - What we have accomplished so far

Launched April 4th 2014.

Open Engineering for Data, Applications, Interfaces, Measurement and more


Transparency: Engaging all levels of government, industry, academia, and others through understanding, ideas, insight and lessons learned.

Participating and Partnering on the WWW:

Implemented Ideas: To generate efficiencies and innovation in tradecraft, tools, and techniques.

  • Common Work Flow (Local, State, Tribal, Federal, IC, DoD, Foreign Partners) - Projects, Jobs and Work cells - unassigned, assigned, in work, awaiting review, completed
  • Crowd Sourcing: tailor your own crowd
  • Area vs. Image: eliminate imagery overlap (think outside the frame)
  • Common and Structured Observations
  • Expose dynamic content in real-time to GeoQ analysts, COPs*, and products
  • Integrated QA/QC
  • Rapidly integrate traditional and nontraditional/evolving data sources and services (data tsunami)
  • Built for centralized or federated data discovery and dissemination
  • Easy and intuitive*
  • Built for the cloud
  • Open source, open APIs and open data standards
  • No licensing (HTML5) web-browser-based (desktop, laptop, mobile)
  • Automated deconfliction of damage classes (topology)

Transformation: Unclassified Agility & Rapid Prototyping "Concept Car" to drive changes in traditional engineering and acquisition.

Business Analytics: Enabling real-time, continuous and self-service access to data.

Gamification: Engage the work force and incentivize quality

  • Promote quality and quantify tradecraft with points and badges
  • Supports standardized web training (EdX)

Feedback: Non-biased testing and evaluation Fail Fast!!!

Change the Geoint Collaboration Model: (fishing poles)

  • Teaching others to take the lead and manage events (federation of workload)
  • Collaborate and coordinate with others in real-time
  • Transcend legal and policy hurdles

Our Strategic Engineering Guidance: (If you don't know where you are going any path will get you there.)

    1. User focused and makes their job easier, faster, more accurate
    1. Rewards sharing and promotes tradecraft
    1. Enables work flow
    1. Web browser based as a service
    1. Promotes agility/federated access
    1. Integrated on all domains and transportable
    1. Open/common standards
    1. Open source
    1. Handheld compatible
    1. WWW accessible
    1. Supports disconnected operations
    1. Centralizes discovery
    1. Built for the cloud
    1. Follows a proven business model

Consequence:

The Way Forward:

  • Integration with open source tools and crowds
  • Join us on Github
  • Pull our code and use as you wish
  • Further discussions on workflow and lessons learned

What's Next: Temporal Analysis, Geo?, GeoSwarm, GeoGig and Open Source Stack, GitHub Auction, Harvester ...
