[Ica-sdistandards] Programme: Workshop on Collaborative custodianship through collaborative cloud mapping – Challenges and opportunities

[Serena Coetzee]

Dear Commission members,

as announced earlier, the Commissions on SDI & Standards and on Map
Production & Geoinformation Management are hosting a joint workshop on
collaborative custodianship and collaborative cloud mapping. The workshop
is co-organized with the South African Committee for Spatial Information
(CSI) Subcommittee on Education & Training and will be held *14 – 15 Sept
2018 at the University of Pretoria *in South Africa.

Collaborative custodianship refers to an arrangement where a number of
custodians collaborate to produce a national SDI dataset, e.g. local
authorities contributing address or street data to a national SDI dataset.
Collaborative cloud mapping allows for ubiquitous convenient on-demand
configured and tailor-made mapping with shared resources between various
entities collaborating on a specific initiative such as an SDI or for
disaster management.

The workshop will introduce attendees to collaborative custodianship and
collaborative cloud mapping through presentations of case studies from the
Netherlands (Martijn Odijk), Flanders (Ziggy Vanlishout) and Austria
(Markus Jobst) and a hands-on cloud mapping session in OpenStreetMap.
Subsequently, challenges and opportunities for implementing collaborative
custodianship through collaborative cloud mapping will be explored in
break-away sessions.

The results of the workshop will be presented at the AfricaGEO 2018
conference, to be held 17-19 September 2018 in Johannesburg, South Africa (
www.africageo.org), summarizing the challenges and opportunities identified
during the joint workshop, followed by a panel discussion on the topic.

The workshop programme is now available at http://sdistandards.icaci.org/.
Seats are limited. If you would like to participate, please contact myself (
serena.coetzee at up.ac.za) or Franz-Josef Behr (
franz-josef.behr at hft-stuttgart.de).

Regards,
Serena
