- 3. Geospatial Primer • Everything is geospatial • Everything is related by virtue of location • Geospatial data can be drawn on a map 3 FIPS Line Title Area Name 1970 29001 Population (number of persons) 3/Adair, Missouri [29001] 22413 29003 Population (number of persons) 3/Andrew, Missouri [29003] 12008 29005 Population (number of persons) 3/Atchison, Missouri [29005] 9311 29007 Population (number of persons) 3/Audrain, Missouri [29007] 25486 29009 Population (number of persons) 3/Barry, Missouri [29009] 19715 29011 Population (number of persons) 3/Barton, Missouri [29011] 10503 29013 Population (number of persons) 3/Bates, Missouri [29013] 15431 29015 Population (number of persons) 3/Benton, Missouri [29015] 9814 29017 Population (number of persons) 3/Bollinger, Missouri [29017] 8915 29019 Population (number of persons) 3/Boone, Missouri [29019] 81073 29021 Population (number of persons) 3/Buchanan, Missouri [29021] 86997 29023 Population (number of persons) 3/Butler, Missouri [29023] 33798 29025 Population (number of persons) 3/Caldwell, Missouri [29025] 8380 29027 Population (number of persons) 3/Callaway, Missouri [29027] 26008 29029 Population (number of persons) 3/Camden, Missouri [29029] 13430 29031 Population (number of persons) 3/Cape Girardeau, Missouri [29031] 49511 29033 Population (number of persons) 3/Carroll, Missouri [29033] 12570 29035 Population (number of persons) 3/Carter, Missouri [29035] 3902 29037 Population (number of persons) 3/Cass, Missouri [29037] 39853 29039 Population (number of persons) 3/Cedar, Missouri [29039] 9458 29041 Population (number of persons) 3/Chariton, Missouri [29041] 11005 29043 Population (number of persons) 3/Christian, Missouri [29043] 15357 29045 Population (number of persons) 3/Clark, Missouri [29045] 8247 29047 Population (number of persons) 3/Clay, Missouri [29047] 124301 29049 Population (number of persons) 3/Clinton, Missouri [29049] 12548 29051 Population (number of persons) 3/Cole, Missouri [29051] 46274
- 4. How does GIS Create/Protect Wealth? • Evidence based decision making • Spatial analysis – better informed decisions • Targeting – Opportunities – Risks • Impact assessment 4 Data Integration, Analysis & Visualisation £ € £ € £ £ $ £ $ € £ £ $ £
- 5. What is different now? • Pace of change (demise of the record & film industries) • 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 - Social networking • We’re broke…
- 6. Key Themes • Geography as an information context • Consumer web mapping • Smart phones with GPS & location apps • Crowd sourcing • Open data policy • Cloud computing • Open source software 6
- 11. Open Data 11
- 12. 12
- 13. 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
- 14. Where Next? • Embrace Big Society data concept – Release datasets under Open Government License – Foster local crowd sourcing • Consider cloud based services – Reference data as a service – Functionality as a service • Enable mobile applications & searching – Geotag data with postcodes 14
- 16. 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
- 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? Missouri – ‘The Show Me State’ A name attributed to Representative Willard Van Diver. It connotates a certain self-deprecating stubbornness and devotion to simple common sense.
- Make better decisions, faster, gain agreement. Drill for oil, locate a shop, site a radio mast, asset acquisition, place advertisement, gain voters Endangered landscapes/species, asset failure, crime increase, wild fire/flood, disease
- 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 World is changing vey rapidly The way people,interact with the world is changing The number of people interacting is chagning
- 100 million web maps per month – and hardly any from traditional GIS firms
- Masses of information – geographical context to help sense of it
- 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
- Open government license Big Society

- 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.
- Support for business case development
- We are all sensors Geography as Context Real time data Position indoors and out Global IP traffic will quadruple from 2009 to 2014.
