Conference

The joint GSDI World Conference (GSDI 13), Canadian Geomatics Conference (CGC 2012), and GEOIDE National Scientific Conference(GEOIDE 2012) will take place in historic Quebec City, Canada at the Quebec City Conference Center in the heart of the city. Primary partners in organizing this conference include the GSDI Association andGEOIDE.

GI Norden 2011 Conference is the 23rd annual Nordic GIS Conference. Come together with Scandinavian professionals and learn more about innovative ways of using geographic information and GIS technologies. The OGC's Steven Ramage will give the keynote address on day 2.  Jari Reini from NLS Finland, one of the OGC's Finnish members, has coordinated Session 4: "Interoperability Data and Open source workshop."

Goal of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is to improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability.

With efforts of previous years, datasets of various types have been produced at global, national, regional, city level. Recently much demand on service and application of SDI has been raised and much attention has been paid to data updating, data harmonization, and geo-spatial cyberinfrastructure that aims at solving the problem of efficiently connecting data, computers, and people over the Internet.

The objective of the workshop is to provide a platform for scholars and professionals in relevant areas to exchange research ideas and interests, to present the newest research results, to discuss the cutting-edge technology, and to promote the development and application of SDI and the international collaboration.

The leading northeastern geoweb industry event will return Spring 2011 with Shane Lennon (Gypsii), Mark Watkins (Goby), Josh Rochlin (Xtify), Chris Grayson (Humble/ARNY) and many more to be announced in the coming days and weeks.

We will explore the integration of existing infrastructures using geospatial technology in order to maximize efficiencies and extend the life of these valuable assets. With billions of dollars on the line, we are bringing together the most credible, informed and objective presenters in order to give you a unique perspective on the decisions you face. Our approach is comprehensive. This is the only event that will deal with the impacts of decisions across electric, telecommunications, gas, water, sustainable energy, public sector, transportation and the smart grid. We are determined to give you a 360 degree view of the issues, the impact and the innovations.

Access to good quality data around real estate portfolios is increasingly important and responses to the question “Do you know what you own?” are increasingly uncomfortable. 

Large and diverse portfolios comprising a range of property types and managed by local business units using a range of systems presents a number of genuine challenges for consolidated reporting and benchmarking. 

Standardisation at industry level is a large part of the solution and this free event will bring together those who share this problem with those who are solving it.
