Announcement
28th International Cartographic Conference pre-conference workshop on
Spatial data infrastructures, standards, open source and open data for geospatial (SDI-Open 2017)
Jointly organized by the Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies and the Commission on SDI and Standards
1- 2 July 2017 at the George Washington University, Washington DC, United States
Spatial data infrastructures aim to make spatial data findable, accessible and usable. Open source software and open data portals help to make this possible. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to SDIs, standards, open source and open data in a fun way. The workshop comprises invited presentations to provide an introduction and background to SDIs, standards, open source and open data. A number of hands-on introductions to open source geospatial software together with mapping tasks will give participants the opportunity to explore these tools. The workshop takes place in a computer lab with a limited number of seats. Please book your seat in advance to avoid disappointment.
Pre-registration required for this workshop through the ICC 2017 Registration Site, once available by December 1, 2016 at http://www.icc2017.org/
Overview of the SDI model developed by the Commission by Antony Cooper, former Chair: ICA Commission on SDI and Standards
IJSDIR Geospatial Data Set Descriptions by Sven Schade, Institute for Environment and Sustainability Digital Earth and Reference Data Unit
Towards an Interoperability Manifesto by Franz-Josef Behr, Co-Chair: ICA Commission on SDI and Standards
The 2016 Full Commission Meeting will take place on the Töölö campus of the Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland. The venue is less than 10 minutes walk from Kamppi, the central bus station and metro. We will start at 12:00 on Friday, 10 June and finish on Saturday evening. As agreed at the business meeting in Brazil, the Full Commission meeting will be used to initiate collaborative research on one or more of the following: Geospatial Interoperability Manifesto; ICA conceptual model for SDIs at universities; and Further work on the impact of SDIs on value added resellers.
For more information, please contact the Commission Chairs: Serena Coetzee or Franz-Josef Behr.
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) announced a new OGC Interoperability Program project called the Arctic Spatial Data Infrastructure Standards and Communication Pilot (‘Arctic SDI Pilot’).

The 2016 Full Commission Meeting is planned for 10-12 June in Helsinki, Finland, on the weekend before the AGILE 2016 conference. The venue for the Commission Meeting is to be announced. Collaborative research will be initiated during the meeting. We plan to start around lunch on Friday, 10 June. We may finish on Saturday evening, but if necessary, we can use an hour or two on Sunday morning. As proposed at the business meeting in Brazil last year, possible research topics are:
– Geospatial Interoperability Manifesto
– ICA conceptual model for SDIs at universities
– Further work on the impact of SDIs on value added resellers
If you would like to attend, please contact the Commission Chairs: Serena Coetzee or Franz-Josef Behr.
