Workshop on Intersections Between Geospatial Information and Information Technology

该讲习班探讨了地理空间和主流信息技术研究和开发界之间加强互动的机会和方向。它的目标是为未来的研究指明方向，提高地理空间信息的可访问性和可用性，并探索地理空间应用程序如何影响IT设计和研究。主题包括研究和开发领域和相关的开发/实施问题，包括使信息技术的趋势，潜在的信息贡献者（信息提供者和验证者）的性质和作用，系统构建者和用户。讲习班报告将综合在讲习班上表达的想法和观点，必要时由委员会编写的补充材料加以补充，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、开发和实施问题的结论和建议，并可能就更深入审查这些问题的适当后续活动提出建议。该报告将在on-line.http://www.cstb.org上广泛传播和提供。

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
