WORKSHOP #2: Get Geography Working for You:
Access, Integrate and Use Geospatial Framework Data

Organizers:
GeoConnections
Duration:
From 8:30-12:00
Fees:
With the support of GeoConnections and offered without charge.
Description:
GeoConnections is pleased to announce a workshop offered to those interested in learning more about data integration good practices and finding and using geospatial framework data.
Streams:
Increasingly, business analysts, planners and decision makers across disciplines and business sectors are visualizing and analyzing their information through a geographic lens. While online applications such as Google Earth and Microsoft Bing Maps have resulted in an exponential growth in Internet mapping, they do have data limitations.

Resources such as the GeoBase Portal (www.geobase.ca) offer online access to a wealth of freely available and authoritative Canadian geospatial framework data that can be integrated with other data to produce informative maps.

This half-day technical workshop will appeal to both casual and professional users of Internet mapping and geospatial information. The workshop is based on the recently completed GeoConnections Framework Data Guide and a current study of successful practices for data integration, both developed through the GeoConnections program.

WORKSHOP #3: Geospatial Data Policy Workshop

Organizers:
GeoConnections
Duration:
Details to come
Fees:
With the support of GeoConnections and offered without charge.
Description:
Over the past 10 years, GeoConnections has been leading the development of geospatial policy. In collaboration with our partners, key issues impacting the collection, access, use and dissemination of geospatial information have been identified. GeoConnections has been tackling geospatial policy issues such as data sharing, intellectual property, licensing, privacy, confidential business information and much more. Join us for a discussion on the progress to date in addressing geospatial data sharing issues and to identify emerging issues in the rapidly converging world of geospatial technologies.
