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

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<http://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<mailto:serena.coetzee at up.ac.za>) or Franz-Josef Behr (franz-josef.behr at hft-stuttgart.de<mailto:franz-josef.behr at hft-stuttgart.de>).

Regards,
Serena
