4. Geospatial Primer
• Everything is geospatial
• Everything is related by virtue of location
• Geospatial data can be drawn on a map

5. Who? What? Why? When? …
• Where are we going on holiday?
• Where are we going to stay?
• What are we going to do?
• Where is the nearest taxi rank?
• Where are the best beaches?
• Where are my friends?

Where?
Spatial Relationships
• Distance from...
• Contained within...
• Connected to…
• Adjacent to…
8. What is different now?
• Pace of change (demise of the record & film industries)
• Speed of Communication (e.g. Twitter)
• Rate of data creation
• Medium of Communication (TV / newspapers -> web)
• Chips with everything (e.g. intelligent fridge)
• Globalisation (China has more internet users than the US)
• Cultural Change - Wired Generation
• Social networking
9. Key Themes
• Geography as an information context
• Consumer web mapping
• Smart phones with GPS
• Location based applications
• Crowd sourcing
• Open data policy
• Open source software

15. Other Location Apps
• SoS
• Train Times UK
• Navigate
• Facebook
• Pharmacy
• Postbox
• London Bus
• ASBOrometer
• Twitter
• Super Tube
• Places
• London Cycle
• Map my Run
• Urban Spoon

19. Open Source Geospatial Software
GRASS
OpenLayers
“In 5 years time, Open Source Geospatial won't be a
niche or a specialism, it will be a standard way that
things are done.” Jo Cook
FDO
MapGuide
20. What Next?
• Enable geography as a context
– Use postcodes
• Support Mobile Applications
– Provide WiFi and 3G+ networks
• Support Big Society
– Release datasets under Open Government License

21. Geospatial Information is Pervasive
In 2015 position will be “always available”
through Smartphones, RFID tags and other sensors.
The value to each application will be variable,
but it will always be there.

Editor's Notes
Diversified farmer
Easiest way to produce map was with Google
Perhaps because it rains a lot in cumbria…
Can you think of any information that a tourist would want that could not be shown on a map?
Geography addresses the basic “Where” question.
Slide 1 of 2
GIS has moved on from dedicated high performance workstations to become available throughout the IT stack from the data centres to consumer mobile devices. Show satellites, 3D models, aerial photos, satnavs, RFIDs
The idea that we can continue to slowly adapt is dangerously complacent
OpenStreetMap July 04, Facebook feb 04, Firefox nov 04,
google earth june 05, live maps december 05, youtube feb 05, google maps feb 05,
ajax april 06,
twitter april 07, iphone jan 07,
chrome dec 08, android oct 08
Masses of information – geographical context to help sense of it
Need to make postcodes easily visible
Sat navs and search engines love postcodes
HTML 5
Location permission needs to be granted by the user
IE 9 will support geolocation
Augmented reality clip
Phone knows: location, direction, orientation
90M PNDs in 2009; 28M smartphones – 120M by 2015
Geography as Context
GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Compass – each with ~25 satellites
90 million PND in 2009 worldwide, by 2015 almost all phones will have this capability
HTML 5 – location awareness, predictions on number of smart phones
GPS accuracy improvement, location within buildings, underground
LBS market est £13B by 2014
Over 15% of Apple istore apps use location
What will happen to the established players like ESRI?
Standards based – opensource reference implementations
Feb 2009 – UK Gov Open Source policy
Apache web server, mySql database, Eclipse dev environment, Drupal, Autodesk MapGuide, Linux
Allow the outside world to help you.
We are all sensors
Geography as Context
Real time data
Position indoors and out
Global IP traffic will quadruple from 2009 to 2014.
