Snowflake Software, dé specialist in gegevensuitwisseling volgens open standaarden, biedt haar Nederlandse gebruikers nu de mogelijkheid om de recent vrijgegeven TOP50NL dataset te gebruiken in haar toongegevende product GO Loader.

GO Loader is de marktleider voor het laden en beheren van GML datasets en wordt momenteel door verschillende organisaties gebruikt voor het beheer van GML datasets zoals IMRO2008, TOP10NL en IMWE. Dankzij de unieke 'schema aware' technologie is GO Loader in staat om probleemloos alle verschillende GML datasets te verwerken via één enkele applicatie. Doordat GO Loader standaard alle GML datasets ondersteunt, is het niet nodig om voor elke GML dataset een nieuw product aan te schaffen of nieuwe softwarecode te schrijven. Als gevolg van de unieke technologie is het voor GO Loader geen enkel probleem om toekomstige GML datasets, zoals TOP50NL en INSPIRE, 'straight out of the box' te gebruiken.

Om te demonstreren hoe eenvoudig het is om TOP50NL data te gebruiken met GO Loader, organiseert Snowflake de live webinar "Laden en Beheren van TOP50NL". In de webinar wordt getoond op welke wijze GO Loader gebruikt wordt om TOP50NL in een database te laden. Daarnaast wordt gepresenteerd hoe vervolgens deze data snel en eenvoudig in een GIS applicatie getoond kan worden door gebruik te maken van enkele handige functies. Daarnaast is Snowflake Software het enige bedrijf in Europa, dat specifieke GML trainingen aanbiedt.

"We zien dat in Nederland de adoptie van GML als dé uitwisselstandaard sterk groeiende is", zegt Richard Rombouts, technical sales manager bij Snowflake; "Dankzij het vooruitstrevende werk op het gebied van het standaardiseren van gegevensuitwisseling bevindt Nederland zich in momenteel in de Europese top voor beschikbaar maken van datasets conform open standaarden.", hij vervolgt "Ik raad zeker aan om iedereen die te maken heeft met het werken met TOP50NL, of andere GML datasets, zich inschrijft voor onze educatieve webinar."

De webinar, Laden en Beheren van TOP50NL, vindt plaats op donderdag 31 maart om 15:00u Nederlandse tijd. Aanmelden voor deze gratis webinar kan via deze link.

Voor iedereen die meer wil leren over de GML standaard, zijn de GML trainingen ook zeker aan te raden.

Snowflake Software facilitates use of TOP50NL in The Netherlands

Snowflake Software, specialists in standards based data exchange, has been supporting its Dutch customers with the newly released TOP50NL via its market leading loading tool, GO Loader.

The Base Registration Topography (BRT) data set was launched less than two weeks ago by Dutch Kadaster and is the latest model to be released in the open standard, GML, by the national mapping agency.

GO Loader, the market leader for loading and managing GML, is being used throughout The Netherlands to handle several existing GML data models such as IMRO, TOP10NL and IMGeo. Its unique ‘schema aware’ technology enables GO Loader to load the new data set without the need for infrastructure change or coding. And it is this same technology that positions GO Loader at the front of the pack for handling future datasets, straight out of the box.

Begin februari 2011 het Kadaster de nieuwe dataset TOP50NL ter beschikking gesteld aan haar klanten. Wellicht heb je inmiddels een CD ontvangen met een landsdekkend bestand, opgedeeld in blokken van ca. 300MB en vraag je je af wat je hier nu mee moet doen.

GO Loader
Om deze GML bestanden snel en eenvoudig te laden in je ruimtelijke database, is Snowflake's GO Loader product de beste oplossing. GO Loader laadt niet alleen razendsnel de GML data in je database, maar creëert ook direct het database schema (tabellen, ruimtelijke indexen, joins, etc.).

Omdat GML bestanden vrij groot kunnen zijn, worden ze regelmatig gecomprimeerd geleverd, bijvoorbeeld in een zip-file. GO Loader leest de data direct uit het gecomprimeerde bestand. Hierdoor hoeft het gecomprimeerde bestand niet eerst uitgepakt te worden, wat weer schijfruimte scheelt.

De unieke technologie achter GO Loader zorgt er ook voor dat er tijdens het laadproces geen tijdelijke bestanden worden aangemaakt. GO Loader laadt direct de data van het GML bestand de database in.

Om je snel op weg te helpen, wordt GO Loader geleverd met een voorgedefinieerde configuratie voor de TOP50NL dataset, het zogenaamde GO Loader project. Je hoeft slechts de databaseverbinding in te stellen en je kunt de data gaan laden.

Voor de ontsluiting van de TOP50NL data in externe GIS applicaties zoals Esri ArcGIS of PBBI MapInfo bevat GO Loader standaard een GIS Registration Tool. Deze tool genereert automatisch de juiste ArcSDE registratiescripts en creëert de gewenste tabelstructuur voor MapInfo.

GO Loader ondersteunt verschillende databases zoals Oracle, SQL Server 2008 en PostGIS.

Door de generieke technologie in GO Loader ondersteunen we standaard alle Nederlandse GML datasets, onder meer IMRO2008, TOP10NL, IMWE, IMWA en IMGeo. Maar ook andere GML datasets zoals alle verschillende Europese INSPIRE datasets worden ondersteund.

Nieuwsgierig geworden? Vraag dan onze gratis 30-dagen evaluatie licentie aan op onze website  en kies voor Evaluation. De evaluatie versie biedt de volledige functionaliteit van GO Loader. Natuurlijk bieden we ook support via ons eigen Support Team.

Summary in English:

The Dutch national Cadastre recently released the TOP50NL dataset as GML. The TOP50NL is a mid-scale (1:50k) topographical dataset that covers The Netherlands.
With GO Loader you can load the TOP50NL dataset in your database. To get you started quickly Snowflake provides a pre-defined GO Loader project which contains the full translation between the GML and database schema. Try it out now with our free 30 days evaluation licence. Visit www.snowflakesoftware.com/goloader/ to obtain your licence.

Snowflake Software has launched its Early Access Programme to customers and product evaluators alike, kicking off with an early access version of its upcoming GO Publisher WFS 2.0 product.

The programme has been initiated by Snowflake to provide customers with advanced access to product releases before they are commercially ready. The Early Access versions will be available to download from the Snowflake Support website as they are released, with the first on offer being the GO Publisher WFS 2.0 – featuring the implementation of the new OGC web feature service standard, a necessity for INSPIRE compliance.
 
Customers are able to benefit from the technical advancements in the Early Access versions and use them within their own test and development environments to gain leading edge, technical and competitive advantage. Additionally, customers can provide more input into developing the Snowflake product suite, by providing feedback and suggestions for new features and enhancements.
 
Eddie Curtis, CTO and Product Manager commented:
 
“We operate the Scrum Agile software development process, which means that every two weeks we create a new build of the products we are currently working on. Customers can expect frequent updates and availability of Early Access versions.”
 
He continued:
 
“Whilst we’ve launched the Early Access Programme with the release of GO Publisher WFS 2.0, we are currently developing new features for GO Loader, including schema packs and projects to support the full OS Open Data product suite. The Early Access Programme will cover the full Snowflake product suite.”
 
Quality Assurance
 
The capability to provide an Early Access Programme comes not only from Snowflakes’ continuing technical developments, but also because of the investment in quality.
 
Whilst the Early Access products are not yet commercially ready, they are rigorously tested by the Pre-Sales teams, as well as passing several fundamental quality assurance processes during the development stage, including continuous integration, automated unit and regression testing, and static code analysis.
 
Joining the Early Access Programme
 
For more information about the Early Access Programme please visit the website: www.snowflakesoftware.com/earlyaccess/ .
 
New Early Access releases will be announced on the Snowflake Technical Blog (www.snowflakesoftware.com/news/techieNews.htm) and via Twitter (www.twitter.com/sflakesoftware). Anyone who would like to download the latest Early Access should visit the Snowflake Support website (www.snowflakesoftware.com/support/) or contact the team at: support@snowflakesoftware.com
