The continuing rapid diffusion of geographic information technologies throughout societal applications and the growing use of geographic and location data use has spawned diverse notions in the scientific community regarding priorities for research and the nature of appropriate research. This divergence in thinking is particularly noticeable when comparing "GIS and Society" research agendas in the U.S. and Europe. European nations are responding to the expanded use of geographic information by individuals, businesses, government agencies, and scientists in a manner quite different from the responses witnessed in the U.S. Laws and policies regarding the handling of scientific, technical, business, personal, and government data are very different on either side of the Atlantic, and these differences have influenced technical and social science research directions in the field. The growing gaps between U.S. and European approaches to data handling and the divergence in "GIS and Society" research priorities highlights the need to reestablish links among U.S. and European researchers in order to enable researchers in these communities to inform each other about the underlying influences affecting the directions of research and the different paths they are taking. This award will support the involvement of U.S. and European researchers in a joint workshop to be held in Rome, Italy, during Fall 2001. The objectives of the workshop will be (1) to assess the current state of research on access to geographic information and on geographic access theory, (2) to evaluate the impact of evolving policy and legal trends in the U.S. and Europe on access to scientific and technical data generally and to geographic data specifically, (3) to assess the current state of research on participatory approaches surrounding the use of geographic information, (4) to explore commonalities and differences in U.S. and European directions of research within these arenas, and (5) to develop a joint U.S.-European research agenda on geographic information access and participatory issues. The workshop arises from recent research discussions among members of the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS) and the Association of Geographic Information Laboratories in Europe (AGILE). The workshop will be structured as a series of plenary presentations, breakout small group discussions, and plenary discussions, a model successfully used by the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis in the U.S. and by the European GISDATA program for more than a decade. over the years. Findings will be issued in a workshop report, and several print and electronic means will be exploited to distribute additional workshop results.This workshop should facilitate communications among U.S. and European scientists examining the dissemination and use of geographic information systems as well as the barriers to more complete and effective use of GISs and related technologies within and across different nations. Through publication of the results of this workshop, the broader research community will benefit from the focus attention given to this issue in Rome. The workshop will contribute to a number of major activities in which the U.S. government is engaged, including the work by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) to develop an institutional framework for allowing individuals and organizations to share and exchange geographic data and services while retaining substantial public access rights for much of the data. It also will contribute toward comparable international efforts, such as the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure effort, which is promoting mechanisms to allow cross-national collaboration in the sharing and exchange of geographic information as well as more open access to geographic data.

地理信息技术在整个社会应用中的持续快速传播以及地理和位置数据使用的日益增加，在科学界产生了关于研究优先事项和适当研究性质的各种概念。 当比较美国和欧洲的“GIS与社会”研究议程时，这种思维上的分歧尤其明显。 欧洲国家对个人、企业、政府机构和科学家扩大使用地理信息的反应与美国的反应大不相同。大西洋两岸关于科学、技术、商业、个人和政府数据处理的法律和政策大不相同。这些差异影响了该领域的技术和社会科学研究方向。 美国和欧洲的数据处理方法之间的差距越来越大，在“地理信息系统与社会”的研究重点的分歧突出需要重新建立美国和欧洲的研究人员之间的联系，以使这些社区的研究人员相互了解影响研究方向和他们正在采取的不同路径的潜在影响。 该奖项将支持美国和欧洲的研究人员参加将于2001年秋季在意大利罗马举行的联合讲习班。 研讨会的目标是：（1）评估地理信息获取和地理获取理论的研究现状，（2）评估美国和欧洲不断演变的政策和法律的趋势对获取科学和技术数据的影响，特别是地理数据，（3）评估围绕地理信息使用的参与式方法的研究现状，（4）探索美国和欧洲在这些领域研究方向的共性和差异，以及（5）制定美国联合欧洲地理信息获取和参与问题研究议程。 该研讨会源于地理信息科学大学联盟（UCGIS）和欧洲地理信息实验室协会（AGILE）成员之间最近的研究讨论。 研讨会将以一系列全体演讲、分组小组讨论和全体讨论的形式进行，这是美国国家地理信息与分析中心和欧洲GISDATA计划十多年来成功使用的一种模式。 多年来 研讨会的结果将发表在一份研讨会报告中，并将利用几种印刷和电子手段来分发更多的研讨会成果。这次研讨会将促进美国和欧洲科学家之间的交流，研究地理信息系统的传播和使用，以及在不同国家内部和之间更完整和有效地使用GIS和相关技术的障碍。 通过出版这次讲习班的成果，更广泛的研究界将受益于罗马对这一问题的集中关注。 该研讨会将有助于美国政府参与的一些重大活动，包括联邦地理数据委员会（FGDC）的工作，以制定一个制度框架，允许个人和组织共享和交换地理数据和服务，同时保留大部分数据的实质性公共访问权。 它还将促进类似的国际努力，如全球空间数据基础设施的努力，这是促进机制，使跨国合作，分享和交换地理信息，以及更开放的访问地理数据。
