GIS Live DVD
open-in-new
<h2 id="use-cases">Use cases</h2> <p>There can be multiple use cases: </p> <ul><li>Demonstration of one or more <a href="/facts/GIS/PoP1kVoa">GIS</a> applications or dataThe disc contains preconfigured applications with some GIS data and introductory tutorials. It is used at workshops or meetings to demonstrate the capabilities of one or more GIS applications or data sets or results of projects that applied <a href="/facts/FLOSS/1cHtjLCB">FLOSS</a> GIS. It makes possible the stand-alone operation using the pre-installed tutorial and sample data. The performance is critical especially the time behaviour. Usually a demonstration disc tends to promote a project so the user friendliness and correctness are critical too.</li> <li>Evaluation of GIS applicationsThe objective is to provide a simple use and compact environment for evaluating and/or benchmarking applications or data sets. It has a similar built to a demonstration disc however it needs more flexibility in using external data and access to network. The time behaviour and the performance is less critical since is highly likely the disc is run in a <a href="/facts/Virtual_machine/BLevU3sx">virtual machine</a>. The user-friendliness is less important since the evaluation is done by professional usually.</li> <li>EducationPrimary aim of this disc is to support of certain GIS training that is based on an established curricula. It can be university education or a special training course. The selection of the applications for the disc supports the gathering of the targeted skill. The disc includes the agenda of the course too. Networking and using peripherals such as printer and external disks is important.</li> <li>Installation The goal is support the installation of <a href="/facts/WEB/hUS0X35L">WEB</a> or <a href="/facts/Desktop_metaphor/kWQQNlxu">Desktop</a> applications by users do not have the required skills or the configuration is complex or difficult.</li> <li>Development Kit for implementing complex customised applications The goal is provide a package of a tools for GIS/<a href="/facts/Location_Information_Server/CJdyeXWh">LIS</a> application development that includes standard software components and business related sample models and codes to support and speed up implementation. The emphases is on the demonstration of system integration and the sample databases and software codes and instruction.</li> <li>GIS data processing Theoretically a Thematic Live DVD can be used for supporting real business procedures. A USB version of a Live DVD can be adopted to data collection where it includes a specific set-up, e.g. an IT system for spatial related census.</li></ul> <h2 id="creation">Creation</h2> <p>The creation is usually based on an existing <a href="/facts/Live_CD/J4bpHUs1">Live CD</a>. Some of the GIS and Remote sensing applications are already included in the basic <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distribution</a>. Some other packages has got "ready to install" versions while some others need to be translated from the source code. After having got all applications and related contents (e.g. documentations, sample data) installed the image of the Live DVD is created by the basic distribution provided tools. </p> <h2 id="risks-and-assumptions">Risks and assumptions</h2> <p>The CASCADOSS research project has identified the following risks of disc creation<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> </p> <ul><li>Shortages of the Incomplete Applications The developments of several FLOSS products are not completed. There are some never finished products too. However these incomplete products can have extremely useful functionality that makes use in environmental GIS data processing. By adding them to a disc their weaknesses could not be fixed. Moreover, in case of some old products the incompatibility, e.g. <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> <a href="/facts/Linux_kernel/dlkduHuA">kernel</a> is a real risk.</li> <li>Coexistence Problems In order to create a disc that includes several applications various sub-packages needs to be installed. These packages are not necessarily compatible. They have different technical approach and quality. Therefore, some products cannot coexist smoothly (or at all) with the others on the same <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distribution</a>.</li> <li>Difficulties with Closed Package Dependent Applications When the code of an FLOSS product is open then errors and reasons can be identified, the code can be corrected and the binary version can be recompiled. However, there are some closed packages, e.g. Sun's Java Runtime Environment that cannot be diagnosed or modified. Therefore, some <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> based and closed package dependent application cannot be installed.</li> <li>Difficulties Proprietary Hardware Drivers Several hardware drivers, e.g. video, wireless, printer are proprietary software. The standard Linux drivers can not necessarily manage them correctly. Therefore, it is impossible to create a disc that compatible with all <a href="/facts/Personal_Computer/koaYfNce">PCs</a>. Especially the notebooks could have problem in running a LiveDVD.</li> <li>Difficulties with Obsolete Hardware The <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> <a href="/facts/Linux_kernel/dlkduHuA">kernel</a> is continuously evolving so some older hardware are not supported in a standard way so it is not possible to support them on a disc.</li> <li>Legal Risks (a plethora of different FLOSS licences) The complex dependency of packages can result conflicts of different <a href="/facts/FLOSS/1cHtjLCB">FLOSS</a> licences. Several package needs to be changed recompiled and some dependent packages needs to be replaced by a functionally equivalent that can have incompatible licence. Therefore, some FLOSS project could complain for removing their package from the <a href="/facts/Live_CD/J4bpHUs1">Live CD</a>.</li> <li>Licence or Patent violations Some FLOSS products depend on proprietary package some others have code that can violate patents or related rights of some firms. Since the broad national differences in related rights the violation depends on where the <a href="/facts/Live_CD/J4bpHUs1">Live CD</a> is run. Therefore, some right owners could complain for removing some package from the <a href="/facts/Live_CD/J4bpHUs1">Live CD</a>.</li> <li>Exceeding available room FLOSS GIS/<a href="/facts/Remote_sensing/pj2crmGs">Remote sensing</a>/Environmental applications have a large amount of sample, demonstration and training data sets. Installing all the data could easily result too large amount of data that cannot be burnt to a <a href="/facts/CD/0IntaWNj">CD</a> or <a href="/facts/DVD/7fJsHJrN">DVD</a>. Therefore, some data sets might be excluded from the media.</li> <li>Poor <a href="/facts/I18n/IGkl9VBM">I18n</a> support in the GIS/<a href="/facts/Remote_sensing/pj2crmGs">Remote sensing</a> applications The <a href="/facts/I18n/IGkl9VBM">I18n</a> stands for the internationalization in IT applications. Unfortunately several applications do not care the international use of applications that makes hard or impossible the use of national characters or integrating an application to a national version of an <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a>.</li> <li>Unfamiliarity of <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> Most of the <a href="/facts/Personal_Computer/koaYfNce">PC</a> users are inflexible to turn to any different operating system. Therefore, a <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a>-based application can be strange for them since it has a different habit than well-known products. Moreover, the terminal-based operation is unacceptable for most of the end-users.</li> <li>Quality Problems of the Basic <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distribution</a> Are Hardy Manageable As all software products, the <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distributions</a> have bugs and failures. These problems have a direct impact on any <a href="/facts/Live_CD/J4bpHUs1">Live CD</a> and cannot be handled as part of a <a href="/facts/Live_CD/J4bpHUs1">Live CD</a> creation that is focused on applications and not the functions of the <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a>.</li></ul> <h2 id="functions">Functions</h2> <p>The following diagram presents a general <a href="/facts/Function%25E2%2580%2593means_tree/0vzmgxxe">function–means tree</a> of the GIS LiveDVDs:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p> <ul><li>Installation The ability to install comes from the basic <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distribution</a> usually. To keep this feature of the basic <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distribution</a>, the thematic content needs to be stored according to the standards of the basic distribution. As part of the installation, the system makes an update that can spoil the set-up of the added applications. In order the fully reserve this feature, repositories must be created and regularly maintained for all the installed applications.</li> <li>Standard functions of the <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a> This is usually provided by the basic Linux distribution. Use of resources and peripherals must be adjusted to the needs of the installed application. The tools are available for experienced users to correct the set-up or customise Live CD while it is in use.</li> <li>Office applications This means an <a href="/facts/Office_suite/WcKtjN6j">Office suite</a> that makes possible to run slides, editing texts and images.</li> <li>GIS application-specific functions This covers information content, tutorials, user guides, etc. and the functions provided by the GIS applications. It has sense to divide applications to desk top, server and terminal based tools.</li></ul> <h2 id="existing-gis-live-dvds">Existing GIS Live DVDs</h2> <h3>ArcheOS</h3> <p>Primary use is professional archaeological work.
