HUMBOLDT develops software that can be used for various tasks of geodata harmonisation. Some of this software is already available in preview versions:

1. The HUMBOLDT Alignment Editor, an application that helps you map and transform complex database and application schemas [download] [documentation] [Tutorial]
2. The HUMBOLDT GeoModel Editor, which you can use to develop rich Conceptual Models for your geodata.
3. The Workflow Design and Construction Service, a web service that delivers executable geoprocessing workflows for data harmonisation [download] [documentation]
4. The Conceptual Schema Translation Service, a Web Processing Service for transforming data from one application schema to another
5. The Edge Matching Service, a WPS that deals with inconsistencies in geometry [documentation]

There are also additional components being developed, and you are invited to check the complete projects list to find out more about all of these!

Being an Open Source Project under the LGPL 3.0 License, we always welcome people who would like to contribute to the development of HUMBOLDT software. This is what you can do:

• View Developer Documentation
• Report issues and request features
• Suggest new Components
• Check out the source code and build components
• Submit patches

If you have any questions, there is a mailing list available (dev@esdi-humboldt.eu) to which you can post after joining. You can also see and search the archive of this mailing list.

The HUMBOLDT software is maintained by the members of the data harmonisation panel, which took over responsibility for continued development, dissemination and exploitation in 2012.

This software was developed from 2007 to 2011 in the HUMBOLDT integrated project. In this research project, we are investigating tools and methods for geodata harmonisation in the context of the GMES and INSPIRE initiatives. To learn more about the HUMBOLDT project, you can visit the Project homepage. There, you can also find additional documentation about our understanding of the harmonisation process and about show cases for HUMBOLDT software.
