Spatial data trapped in incompatible formats and inconsistent schemas cannot be shared or combined effectively across organisations; this course builds the standards-based skills to fix that. Participants harmonise real multi-source datasets to a shared standard.
Upcoming sessions in Johannesburg
Government agencies, NGOs, and private partners routinely hold spatial data that cannot be easily combined because of inconsistent schemas, formats, and coordinate systems. This course builds practical interoperability skills, covering open geospatial standards from the OGC (WMS, WFS, GML) and ISO 19100 series, schema harmonisation techniques for merging datasets from multiple sources, and format conversion best practices across shapefile, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, and enterprise geodatabase formats.
Participants also work through building data exchange agreements and shared schemas for multi-partner projects, and practise validating harmonised datasets so downstream users can trust and combine data with confidence.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
