Leveraging the GIS Server Platform	Jeff Archer, ESRI
The landscape of GIS technology has greatly expanded in recent years. Most of this expansion has been on the web, and has resulted in some revolutionary new conduits for GIS data. A common phrase in our industry for technology that shares geospatial data and functionality over the web is “GIS Server.” This workshop will be focused on building and using applications that can consume the services hosted by GIS Servers. Come see how easy it is to use common programming languages to quickly build advanced spatial analysis applications using geospatial web services. This workshop will focus on discovering, using, and combining geospatial resources - basemaps, authoritative data, and even your own data - in hands-on exercises to create new and unique applications. Bring your laptop and learn how easy it is to build these applications, understand the technology that powers them, and see examples of GIS Servers bringing high-end GIS analysis to the Web.

Registries for the GeoWeb	David Burggraf, Galdos
This course is designed for managers and professionals in the geospatial domain who wish to gain a broader knowledge of the role of the OGC Catalogue/Registry (CSW-ebRIM) in the GeoWeb. Some knowledge of XML, in particular awareness of the impact of XML technologies in today’s market would be beneficial.

Digital Cities Modeling Workshop	Neal Niemiec, Autodesk
This workshop is focused on the data and technologies needed to build detailed 3D City Models that can be used for urban design and planning, economic development, sustainable design, environmental simulation, tourism and event coordination. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop with full admin rights, running Windows XP and have a DVD player for software installation and workshop exercises.

Workshop on Visual Mapping of BIM Data Augmented with XML Technology	David Dodds, Open-Meta Computing
XML / Open Source (OSS) tools are shown to perform visually based mapping of free-form or nonconformant BIM data to schema defined BIM system (using gbXML, its schema, and Schematron), TCL/Tk GUI, The PROCESSING package, XSLT is shown performing schema-mapping. Requirements: 1) a general knowledge of XML; 2) some knowledge of XSLT, and a programming language considered useful. This is a detailed technical workshop and previous knowledge on the above mentioned technologies is required.

Understanding and Building GIS Services	Jeff Archer, 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 focus for a while on the creation, administration, and consumption of GIS web services. Topics of discussion will include the types of GIS resources available, serving these resources as different types of geospatial services, and using the resulting web services in a wide range of browser-based, desktop, and mobile GIS applications.

Web-based Accessibility to Imagery & Rasters	Peter Becker, ESRI
Imagery is an integral component of all geospatial web applications with users currently expecting imagery as an optional background. Users’ expectations are extending beyond just requiring a pretty picture, and wanting more detailed metadata and the ability to perform different types of analysis based on the imagery. This paper/workshop will provide an overview of the different solutions and capabilities that exist with a range of different web based standards and web interfaces, providing samples and recommendations. [NOTE: Attendees should bring a notebook PC.]

Google Earth 5.0 KML Extensions	Michael Ashbridge, Google
Google Earth 5.0 allows you to dive under the sea, see historical imagery, and record immersive tours. We’ll show you how you can use these new features in your own KML publications and in your Google Earth API sites, and explain in detail how we used the extension mechanisms available in the KML standard to enable the sharing of these new features. [NOTE: Attendees should bring a notebook PC.]

3D Geospatial: Project Implementation Methods and Best Practices	Tim Case, Parsons Brinkerhoff
This condensed workshop will outline the convergence of new technologies and business requirements that are fostering a new wave of 3D geospatial applications. New 3D data and visualization tools are being used to support emergency preparedness, urban planning, and many other business practices. Attendees will learn how to navigate the range of available 3D data, systems, and processes 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 Intended Audience: Project managers creating or maintaining 3D data, geospatial data analysts considering integration of 3D technology, and local and regional government leaders implementing 3D geospatial programs.
