| A Look at Three Open Source GIS Servers: GeoServer, MapGuide, and MapServer |
| Panel: Robert Bray, Engineer, Autodesk, Justin Deoliveira, Engineer, The Open Planning Project, and Paul Ramsey, Engineer, Clever Elephant Moderator: Michael Gerlek, Software Architect, LizardTech, Inc. |
| Free and Open Source software continues to be a key part of today’s GIS infrastructures, and servers are perhaps the most prominent part of such an open spatial data infrastructure. This presentation will introduce GeoServer, one of the major open source servers available today. The presentation will cover the server’s particular strengths, its support for OGC interfaces and other interop/compatibility features, the depth and strength of its user base and developer base, and more. |

| National Critical Infrastructure Data Models: Implications for Local Government and Utilities |
| Federal Governments in the US and Canada are developing data models for the exchange of data about critical infrastructure for emergency planning, security, and first response. Outside of government, organizations such as LandXML.org, Open Geospatial Consortium, International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI), Multispeak.org, and IEC have adopted domain specific open standards for data exchange such as LandXML, GML, IFC, Multispeak, and CIM, that are widely implemented by local governments, industry, and utilities. In this panel discussion experts from standards organizations, government, and industry will discuss the proposed government data models, how they related to open standards, and their implications for local government. |
