But is it useful? – Spatialists – geospatial news

The Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum proposes #usefulness as a better measure than openness for #dataQuality, with a 5-dimension, 4-star framework that goes beyond familiar schemes like #FAIR and 5-star Open Data. It’s an interesting read and a good occasion to re-evaluate common notions of data quality and #openness.

The legacy of Dijkstra – Spatialists – geospatial news

Edsger Dijkstra’s landmark shortest-path algorithm has shaped how we navigate the world, from early GIS to today’s wayfinding apps. A new Veritasium video traces that legacy and reveals how techniques like Nested Dissection and Contraction Hierarchies deliver routing results in microseconds.
