Building Data Products the FOSS4G Way
10-01, 15:30–17:00 (Europe/London), Inspire

Exploring how Idox uses QGIS and other FOSS tools and technologies to build its Local Plans dataset (and other MapCloud data). We'll present our processes, share how we build robust data assets, show key use cases and demonstrate how we maintain and commercialise this key data at scale.


We may do practical exercises depending on what type of audience we’re expecting – new, intermediate or advanced users of QGIS – and the benefit to them.
