Creating and Using Geospatial Image and Data Services
|
Jeff Archer, Senior Technical Analyst, ESRI |
| As GIS continues to grow into the internet space, web services have become a common and useful way to access GIS data, maps, and analysis. As the use of GIS web services becomes more and more ubiquitous, it is important to understand the context and full life cycle of these services. Join us as we explore the creation, administration, and consumption of GIS web services.Topics of discussion will include the creation of geospatial resources, publishing these resources as web services, and using the resulting web services in a wide range of browser-based, desktop, and mobile GIS applications. |

Part 1: Using Open Source Software to Process Geo-Semantic / Geo-Spatial Knowledge and Visuals
|
David Dodds, Director, Open-Meta Computing Inc.
|
| This workshop provides each participant with open source (OSS) programs; ontologies from NASA JPL; also some GML and KML datasets. Among the OSS programs are Stanford’s OWL / Protege, Jena, SWRL, SAXON XSLT, Firefox (to look at SVG, etc), Notepad++ (to edit XML and OWL, etc), Google Mapssource code, and more. The workshop discusses use of syntactical systems (validation) and extending the coverage of processing through use of semantic processing. |

OGC and OGC Standards: An Update on Activities and Current Status of Key OGC Standards.
|
Carl Reed, CTO, OGC |
| This workshop will focus on providing an update on current key standards development activities in the OGC. This workshop is not an introduction to the OGC. This workshop assumes some familiarity with key OGC standards, such as WMS, GML, WFS and KML. Specifically, the workshop will provide:
- An overview on the OGC Web Services 5 test bed and provide an update of the key interoperability findings and implications for OGC standards
- An update of OGC Sensor Web Enablement standards, including SensorML, Sensor Observation Service, and Sensor Planning Service. Information will also be provided regarding the use of OGC SWE standards in the oceans observing community and in Empire Challenge.
- An update of the OGC CAD-GIS-BIM activities and standards.
- An update of the OGC standards activities for the mass market (consumer).
Finally, the workshop give an update and provide a release "road map" for key OGC standards that are currently in revision. These standards include WMS, WFS, WCS, GML, Catalogue, and SOS

3D Geospatial: Project Implementation Methods and Best Practices
|
Tim Case, URISA |
| This abbreviated workshop will outline the convergence of new technologies and business requirements that are fostering a new wave of 3D geospatial applications. Urban governments are using complex 3D data and visualization tools to support emergency preparedness, urban planning, and many other business practices. This course introduces the data, systems, and processes to be considered when implementing 3D applications. Attendees will learn how to navigate the dizzying array of options and prepare for a sustainable 3D geospatial practice. Specific topics include:
- Guidelines for project implementations using 3D technologies
- Introduction to a wide range of 3D analysis and visualization software
- Case studies of urban applications
- An introduction to 3D data models, including emerging open standards and best practices for model development
