In today's data-rich environment, geospatial professionals struggle with a lack of versioning tools compared to other software domains. Kart (kartproject.org) is a practical solution designed to address this gap and support data collaboration.

In this session, we will introduce Kart and demonstrate its core functionalities across raster, vector, table, and point cloud datasets using the Kart QGIS plugin. Kart fits into a multi-ecosystem world, and we'll talk about how to collaborate on data with our non-QGIS friends. Additionally, we'll talk through our roadmap and highlight what we're working on next.

With Kart, managing history, branches, data schemas, and synchronisation becomes straightforward, regardless of software ecosystem. Kart empowers teams to collaborate better, keeping teams aligned and facilitating easy review and tracing of changes.

Join us to explore how Kart is reshaping geospatial data management, offering practical solutions for collaboration and productivity.

Kart is a powerful cross-platform version control system for geospatial datasets: vectors, rasters, tables, and point clouds; built to enable collaboration. The workshop will introduce you to Kart and walk through its key functionality so you're ready to use it on your next project.

Kart has a QGIS plugin and we'll primarily be working there, but we'll also demonstrate collaboration with our non-QGIS friends working in other software ecosystems.

We'll be creating new repositories by importing open data sets; editing and committing data changes; reviewing history; cloning & pushing datasets; using and understanding different working copy formats; performing branching and merging; building repositories over existing Raster & Point Cloud data; and collaborating with other users.
