[nasdug-l] Meeting Announcement: GIS and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for Scientific Research

[Allison G. Gaylord]

 Meeting Announcement:


GIS and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for Scientific Research 

Special Interest Group Exploratory Session



The use of GIS technology and the establishment of effective federations for spatial data sharing are growing issues within the scientific research communities around the world.  However, there are many unique aspects and issues that are particular to scientific research and how it is conducted that are not well served by mainstream GIS and SDI.  The purpose of this meeting is to review some of these issues and needs, to determine the level of interest in the establishment of a Scientific Research GIS/SDI Special Interest Group (SIG), and if positive, to lay the groundwork for mobilizing this SIG.  

 

This special session will be held at the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) International Users Conference at the San Diego Convention Center. 

 

Date / Time: Tuesday, June 19th 5:30PM - 7:00PM (Room 23 B)

 

A series of presentations describing regional SDI efforts are scheduled throughout the day on June 19th and 20th.  For more information about the conference visit, http://www.esri.com/events/uc/index.html
