Notes on slide 1

Welcome and introduction

Humans have shared data since the first time some caveman in France drew a map on a wall where hunting was good.

The the complexity of sharing data grew until it required balding men flipping switches at computers with women pushing buttons in the background.

Then came the internet solves all our problems, doesn’t it?

Sharing spatial data has been difficult

Making data discoverable and available is very difficult

SDIs get all the press for GeoWeb sharing

The portals are set up to discover datasets that are national or global in nature

Datasets are aimed at government policies

When my company can share data across the street with another, then I know the GeoWeb has been successful. Having to negotiate across national data sharing sites doesn’t allow collaboration.

Mapping, Engineering, Architecture

Architects can share data directly with Cities and with Businesses. Because this is the GeoWeb Conference, we use a Coffee Shop example.

File formats become really important with smaller organizations

Engineering document management has evolved from a map and plan room, which may well have been orderly, to more-than-often a hodgepodge of up-to-date and outdated electronic storage arrangements. Sometimes these are off-the-shelf storage repositories purchased at great expense from the leaders in the engineering field, and sometimes it is simply a home-grown database solution. These newer solution sets are not serving the customers well in many instances.

We offer a remedy to the high expense or the lack of any affordable, effective solution: WeoGeo “Library”. This is a web-interface-based content management system oriented around geo coordinates.

“The WeoGeo Library is your system of record.Lower costs and increase efficiency with the WeoGeo web-based Library system. Either on-site or off-site, your organization can have one, easy-to-use library of all your geospatial data. Surveyors, engineers, cartographers, scientists, and architects can quickly store, search, modify, and move raster, CAD, and GIS mapping content inside and outside your organization”
