44 Digital Commons Projects Selected for NGI Zero Grants
You see that same number featured in the emails we send you (It should not happen, but if you did apply to the August call and did not hear anything, do contact us) (you can click or tap on the project name to fold out additional information) Arthur Ashkin published the science of optical tweezers openly, work that earned him the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics. This project focuses on three primary objectives: aligning the software with the requirements of the upcoming eIDAS 2.0 regulations, performing security hardening through external penetration testing, and expanding the tool's core functionality based on community requirements. ORION (Open Ready-for-INSPIRE OSM tiles for gvSIG Online) will deliver an open-source, self-hosted processing pipeline to generate and serve INSPIRE-aligned raster map tiles from OpenStreetMap data, fully integrated as a native module within the free/libre software gvSIG Online. The project closes the existing gap between the widespread use of OSM and the interoperability requirements of European public administrations and Spatial Data Infrastructures, enabling them to deploy sovereign, standards-compliant base maps without relying on proprietary services. By demonstrating a practical, standards-based approach to note and journal management, the project addresses fragmentation in today ecosystem by demonstrating, in practice, how interoperable note and journal storage can work across servers and platforms - not only helping to establish digital sovereignty but also achieving long-term accessibility of personal data. This includes optimising server-side algorithms, improving the functionality of the bundled web client (including a responsive video grid layout) and better accessibility, adding a waiting room, improve the SIP gateway and many other small improvements - also to other projects (such as developing a WHIP remote for Pipewire, and adding SIP/TCP and SIP/TLS as well as a UAS role to the the SIP library that is used by Galene).
