DSS7-Virtual Interns assisting with Data Entry
Project start and end dates:
2022-05-02 to 2022-05-27
We asked the SAIT students to help us complete research projects for a range of business functions including but not limited to:
- Help us research on land classification categories in different
cities and land classification standards - Help us research on land classification formats
- Help us gather flood photos with exif metadata from recent
Canadian flood disasters - Research on citizen science techniques and data during Western
European 2022 flooding (Germany, Belgium) - Help us review citizen science techniques and data during events that included Community-led Organizing
- Create data schemas on Frictionless data
As part of their practicum, the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology students worked closely with us to complete business function tasks which included:
- Helped us research land classification categories in different cities and land classification standards
- Helped us research land classification formats
- Helped us gather flood photos with Exif metadata from recent Canadian flood disasters
- Researched citizen science techniques and data during Western European 2022 flooding (Germany, Belgium)
- Help us review citizen science techniques and data during events that included Community-led Organizing
- Created data schemas on frictionless data
They helped us create datasets in presentable and usable CSV and JSON formats.
The students were always ethical, professional and highly productive throughout their practicum. They demonstrated research skills, critical thinking, data collection skills, problem-solving, Ms Office proficiency, and report writing. we are pleased with the material they produced and recommend their work.
Overall the team’s result was thought-provoking and of value to us.
Thank
You!

Software can help the world respond to climate change impacts and disasters.
In 2019 we set out to investigate if there is a need for a solution that gives citizens personalized help preparing for and recovering from climate change impacts and lets trusted authorities assist them and report on their results.
As part of this effort, a great deal of market and technical research was conducted over the last few years. Over 140 students have been involved so far, in dozens of academic institutions in Canada and internationally.
Our greatest finding is the willingness of citizens to take responsibility and help themselves, their neighbors and community plan for, mitigate and recover from climate change impacts and disasters. We also confirmed that a software solution can be built to help overcome the barriers they face when trying to do so.
Now we’re working on a prototype and sharing our findings and progress. Find out more on our OASIS project website!
