| Workshop 1 |
9:30am - 12:30pm
Dan Zimble & David Danko.
ESRI, Inc.
Implementing standards for interoperability |
For more than 25 years, ESRI
has built open and interoperable commercial off-the-shelf
software
products. Our current products have appropriate
open application programming interfaces and support
key data interchange formats and Web services
standards for ensuring relevant GIS and IT interoperability
between systems over wired and/or wireless networks. Recently,
ESRI launched a major initiative to re-architect
its GIS product line to adhere to important,
emerging IT and GIS standards (e.g. W3C, ISO,
and OGC).
The objectives of this exciting workshop are
to provide an overview of the advantages of,
and pathways
to, implementing interoperability standards with
the entire suite of ESRI products. |
| Workshop 2 |
9:30am - 12:30pm
Dr. Charles Toth, Center for Mapping, The Ohio
State University
Airborne Digital Camera Systems |
The objectives of this workshop
are to provide an overview of recent advances in
digital imaging technology and to familiarize the
participants with modern digital camera systems,
including image formation, geometrical and radiometrical
calibration, image representation, orthophoto production,
and an insight into basic image processing, interpretation
and data fusion tasks. The workshop will provide
theoretical material with hands-on practical experiences.
Sample multi-sensor data sets, collected by state-of-the-art
airborne sensors in a variety of projects, will
be demonstrated. |

GIS Tools for Emergency Management
|
The state of Maryland has established a statewide data interoperability model for sharing data across jurisdictional and agency boundaries at all levels of government. This process began by making a spatially enabled “suite of emergency management tools" available to all state agencies and local emergency operation centers. Maryland’s success has been recognized by local, state, and federal agencies and has generated a great deal of collaboration and support from multiple, disparate agencies. The process and architecture is easily replicable in other states. This workshop will provide an overview of these activities and share best practices and lessons learned from Maryland’s experience.

| Workshop 4 |
1:30pm - 4:30pm
David Doyle,
National Geodetic
Survey, NOAA
Datums, Projections and Mapping Basics for GIS |
This seminar presents the fundamentals
of geodetic datum and coordinate reference systems
as they apply to the development of Geographic
Information Systems (GIS). Specifically addressed
are the definitions of the Horizontal (North American
Datum of 1927 and North American Datum of 1983),
and Vertical (National Geodetic Vertical Datum
1929 and North American Vertical Datum of 1988)
reference systems, and the relationship of State
Plane and Universal Transverse Mercado Grid Coordinates.
Particular attention will be given to the continuing
improvements of the National Spatial Reference
System (NSRS), including High Accuracy Reference
Networks, Continuously Operating Reference Systems
(CORS), the design and implementation of a local
GPS network and the importance of Federal, State
and local cooperative activities. |
