2) Understand web services and open standards for web mapping (WMS, WFS, WCS, WPS, SLD, GML).
3) Understand the basics of ArcGIS and ModelBuilder.
4) Construct workflow diagrams in Processing Modeler for QGIS.
5) Work with GeoServer to publish spatial data on the Web.

Due to the restriction of the class room, only a limited number of places are available for this course. Priority will be given to the following study programmes "066 200 Cartography", "066 421 Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering", and "066 464 Geomatics Engineering and Cartography". If you are from one of the above programmes, please send me (francisco.porras.bernardez@tuwien.ac.at) an email with your student number, and I will add you to the class manually.
Previous knowledge in the following topics would be useful to get the most from some lectures but it is not required:
