"UCGIS 2013 Symposium
Collaboration Across Communities: GIScience 2.0 and
Beyond
Washington D.C.
Pre-Symposium Workshops on May 20, 2013
Symposium Dates: May 21-23, 2013
From the exposome to the biome, individuals,
organizations and government agencies are collecting increasingly vast amounts of
geographic information. The spatial, temporal and attribute granularity of such
data are increasing every day, yet the communities, systems and
infrastructures to support these data are often ad hoc and ephemeral. Without concerted
attention to preserving the provenance, accessibility and community
connections of these wide ranging data and systems, their true value may never
be fully realized.
Join the University Consortium for Geographic Information
Science for a three-day symposium addressing issues of big data to
little data, global to local spatial data infrastructures and systems
architectures, and the
potential roles for partnerships spanning academia,
industry, government and professional societies. Join us in creating communities
that lay the foundation for fostering sustainable knowledge production
from ever-increasing data streams in the ever-widening
disciplines of GIScience.
Come prepared to participate!
Leave with new ideas, new partnerships and new
collaborations."
