The Urban Center for Computation and Data (UrbanCCD) is a research initiative of Argonne National Laboratory and the Computation Institute of the University of Chicago. We create computational tools to better understand cities. One of these is Plenario, our hub for open geospatial data.
PostGIS makes the spatial operations at the heart of Plenario possible.
Clever°Maps’ is a three years old startup based in the Czech Republic. We create web apps for four distinct market segments:
- business/location inteligence - helping companies to make decisions based on data, not on feelings
- farming - simplifying agenda and everyday work
- road infrastructure administration - settlement of land property rights, treaty evidence, speeding up the whole administrative process
- assets administration - treaty management, land purchases

Vanguard Appraisals is new to the GIS world. In fact, we aren’t really in the GIS world; we just kind of brush up against it. We do mass property appraisal for entire county and city jurisdictions, and we develop software to collect, price and maintain values. We also host assessment data online so that homeowners can search and find property information much simpler from the comfort of their own home. Our software and websites are used in 7 states (IA, IL, MN, MO, NE, ND, SD).
The 2.1.6 release of PostGIS is now available.
The PostGIS development team is happy to release patch for PostGIS 2.1, the 2.1.6 release. As befits a patch release, the focus is on bugs, breakages, and performance issues. Users with large tables of points will want to priorize this patch, for substantial (~50%) disk space savings.
