Workshop on Intersections Between Geospatial Information and Information Technology

本次研讨会探讨了增加地理空间和主流信息技术（IT）研究和开发社区之间互动的机会和方向。其目标是阐明未来研究的方向，以增强地理空间信息的可访问性和可用性，并探索地理空间应用如何影响IT设计和研究。主题包括研究和开发领域以及相关的开发/实现问题，包括使能信息技术的趋势、潜在信息贡献者（信息提供者和验证者）、系统构建者和用户的性质和角色。讲习班报告将综合讲习班上表达的想法和观点，必要时辅以委员会编写的其他材料，包括关于地理空间和信息技术学科之间的合作机会以及其他研究、发展和执行问题的调查结果和建议，并可就进一步深入审查这些问题的适当后续活动提出建议。该报告将广泛散发并可在网上查阅。http://www.cstb.org

This workshop explores opportunities and directions for increased interaction between the geospatial and mainstream information technology (IT) research and development communities. Its goal is to illuminate directions for future research that would enhance the accessibility and usability of geospatial information and explore how geospatial applications can influence IT design and research. Topics include research and development areas and associated development/implementation issues, including trends in the enabling information technology, the nature and roles of the potential information contributors (information providers and validators), system builders, and users. The workshop report will synthesize the ideas and viewpoints expressed at the workshop, supplemented as necessary by additional material developed by the committee, including findings and recommendations on opportunities for collaboration between the geospatial and information technology disciplines as well as other research, development, and implementation issues, and may make suggestions for appropriate follow-on activities that would examine these issues in more depth. The report will be widely disseminated and available on-line.http://www.cstb.org
