From September 29th to October 3rd 2025, our team was represented at the Big Data from Space 2025 (BiDS) organised by the European space Agency (ESA). We had several presentations and presence at an expo area where we showcased our European Research Council (ERC) research project WaterSmartLand using open-source tools.
📌 Alexander Kmoch, Associate Professor in Geoinformatics, made a presentation in the session “Towards Digital Twins: Integrating Data, Models, and Insight” on the topic of “OGC DGGS & Zarr: Building Blocks for Big Data Digital Twins”. In the presentation he demonstrated a novel architecture that combines DGGS with cloud-native Zarr storage to create universal building blocks for EO data management.
In addition, we participated with our booth at the expo area where we shared information about the project and the development of the data cube to the participants of the conference.
