AIXM5 - Integrating Time into the Core of the Aeronautical GeoWeb
Christian Grothe, Technische Universität Darmstadt |
| AIXM5 is a geospatial data model and a GML application schema. It is the future global standard for aeronautical data exchange and a core element of the emerging "Aeronautical GeoWeb". This presentation outlines the development of AIXM5 with a focus on one of its key aspects, the Temporality Model, the design of which involved conceptualizing the temporal evolution of features and their attributes and the realization of the concepts with GML’s Dynamic Features. |

Data mining in Google Earth using Mechanical Turks
Michael Gerlek, Lizardtech, Inc.
|
| This talk describes a short-term project to map existing equipment installations using "Mechanical Turks" rather than feature extraction software. Dubbed "artificial artificial intelligence", Mechanical Turks are workers ready to accept and process information at a low per-unit cost. Human Interface Tasks (HITs) are launched, and results are managed, via the MTurk API. The results require careful QC, but the MTurk approach can be a cost effective solution for simple analysis tasks. |

Google Earth Weather
Bent Hagemark, Google |
This presentation demonstrates Google Earth Weather and goes in depth on how the standard features of KML 2.2 are used to present current point conditions and current and animated clouds and other phenonemon. How are static files used to present dynamic rasters and vectors? The broad use of OGC KML 2.2 standard features used to present weather are available for anyone to publish any desired geo-located phenonema. This presentation covers region-based NetworkLinks, SuperOverlays, time animation and other major features of KML 2.2.

Online Data Integration and Delivery via Web Services
Jari Reini, Tele Atlas |
| Smart dynamic maps provide up-to-date information enriched with safety relevant and added-value data for car drivers and mobile users. This may include for example parking information or other dynamic data like relevant weather information or gas prices for human and non-human consumption. This presentation will show the architecture and will demonstrate integration of dynamic data from 3rd party sources, and exposes data via OGC Web Services. |

Spanish SDI (IDEE): Providing Access to the Orthophotos of Spain
Jose Angel Alonso, National Geographic Institute |
The Spatial Data Infrastructure of Spain (IDEE for Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales de España) is an initiative that integrates data, metadata and geographical information produced in Spain by a wide set of data producers, which enables data discovering, viewing and, in some cases, analyzing and downloading. Recently a new Web Map Service has been deployed. This service provides users with orthophotos of 0.50 m/pixel which cover the whole country.

Standards and Interoperability - Focusing on Interoperability
Satish Sankaran, ESRI |
| This presentation provides an overview of web service technologies currently being pursued by the GIS community (Enterprise, SDI, mass-market) to create interoperable systems. We will discuss the status of many of the OGC web service specifications and review current efforts to make them work within a SOA framework. The presentation will also showcase some of the mass market initiatives (REST, Javascript approaches) that use "Web 2.0" patterns for extending the traditional interoperability paradigm. |

The Canadian GeoSpatial Data Infrastructure Interoperability Pilot Project
Mohamed Habbane, GeoConnections |
| The Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) Interoperability Pilot Project GeoConnections, federal and provincial partners, and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) recently completed a national interoperability project for testing next-generation real-time access and distribution methods for geospatial data. The interoperability project involved the participation of seven provinces, four federal agencies, five private sector organizations and the Open GeoSpatial Consortium. Key project collaborations, results and challenges will be presented. |

Using SensorWeb in Delivering Canadian Sustainability Indicators
Tom Kralidis, Environment Canada |
These Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators supplement traditional health and economic measures, such as gross domestic product, so that citizens can better understand the relationships that exist among the economy, the environment, and human health and well-being. These indicators are to help government in developing policy and measuring performance, as well as information about the trends. This presentation will discuss applying the OGC SensorWeb (SWE) approach to delivery of the indicators to achieve interoperability around monitoring data, thus extending the integration and dissemination of environmental indicators.

Integrating Spatial Data in an IT Infrastructure Through Spatial
ETL
Don Murray, Safe Software Inc. |
| With Google Earth and other geographic information systems playing a bigger role in visualizing and analyzing information, enterprises are recognizing the value of leveraging all their data. Just as traditional data has become centralized, many organizations face the challenging process of moving their "location" data holdings to a single spatial database. This session presents a case for using spatial ETL (extract, transform and load) to efficiently integrate spatial data into an IT infrastructure. |
