3D City Models in a Public Participation Tool
Jurgen Bogdahn, HFT Stuttgart, Univ. of Applied Sciences |
| In the Virtual Environmental Planning System (VEPs) project we have explored if the use of 3D city models supports better understanding of planning proposals, than showing 2D plans. The aim of VEPs was to develop an online participation prototype that integrates additional information to the 3D model. The tool should also provide a link between the comments and a visual impression in the 3D scene to create an intuitive and understandable discussion about planned objects. |

A 3D Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for Berlin
Claus Nagel, Berlin Institute of Technology |
| The 3D Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) of Berlin allows for the storage, exchange and management of the official 3D city model of Berlin. The pivot of the SDI is a spatial relational database based on CityGML. Data access is provided by OGC web services and controlled by digital rights management. A main focus is the integration of 3D city models and BIM. Supported 3D outputs are visualizations for virtual 3D globes and web portrayal services. |

Across the Boundaries - INSPIRE and E-Government: Efficiency through SDI
Suzanne Slarsky Dael, National Survey & Cadastre |
| In 2007 the European Union took a groundbreaking step towards more effective multinational administration. The INSPIRE Directive will, over the coming decade, foster the establishment of a pan-European SDI. Twenty-seven national mapping agencies are now working towards integrating their spatial resources into the INSPIRE framework. Denmark is leading Europe in the integration of SDI and e-Government. The synergies and lessons learned from the Danish model can be useful in many contexts where collaboration is the key to administration across boundaries. |

NeoSDI for Local Government
Jason Birch, City of Nanaimo |
| Local governments are small enough that traditional geo SDI is generally adequate for internal functions. However, with increasing demands for transparency in government information, and the need for immediate and current data during emergency response, the ability to publish geographic data in formats like KML and GeoRSS is going to be critical to the mandate of local government. This talk will cover and demonstrate how easily local governments can repurpose their existing infrastructure to take advantage of these exciting new opportunities. |

Towards Metropolitan Planning using Web-Based GIS
Sandro Danilo Gatto, Fundacao CPqD |
| This work presents SIGPLAM, a web-based GIS developed by CPqD using Java and OGC Services. Architectural design, software and hardware infrastructure to support it are described, as well as the processes defined and decisions taken in order to build such system. SIGPLAM aims at coordinating and controlling public and private works, environmental planning and monitoring, as well as forecasting demands and deficit of public services such as education, water, energy, low-income housing, transportation and others. |

Technology is No Longer the Excuse: Thriving in an Era of Global Climate Change, Aging Infrastructure, and Shrinking Workforce
Geoff Zeiss, Autodesk,Inc |
Compared to the low cost airline industry and the banking industry, where IT has dramatically reduced costs by streamlining operations, in some sectors IT has hardly begun to scratch the surface. But external factors such as aging infrastructure, shrinking workforce, and global climate changes are forcing a change. We will present real world examples of how convergence managers, who combine technical awareness of convergence technologies with organizational awareness to address the challenges of the modern world.
