Benefits of Data Exchanges Enrichment of collaborating and third parties

CAS-USGS Global Land Cover Initiative PAGER (Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response) Did You Feel It? Responses feed into

PAGER Mapped Assessments of Reported Intensities,

Soil Amplification, Fault and Ground Motions, Seismic Intensity, and Population per Intensity

Benefits . . .

Need comparable utilities that cross all political borders for other disasters, especially floods and atmospheric disturbances ReliefWeb (http://reliefweb.int/)

Round Table has taken major steps toward the creation of a locative world Real time locations of all phenomena known

by anyone who cares to know, in real time

Trends forcing the locative world Need to know—creating the global context

in which bi- and multi-lateral data exchanges will occur, even as such exchanges build that world

Scale extensions for GIS/GIScience Mesoscale origins Microscale needs (indoor) Macro-scale advantages (global)—GSDI

Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI) http://www.gsdi.org/associnfo

Trends . . . Democratization of mapping

Crowdsourcing (crowd science, citizen science)Astronomy, physics, genealogy Medicine?

Peoples Atlas of Chicago OpenStreetMap (OSM)

http://www.openstreetmap.org/ Collaborative project to create a free

editable map of the world

Trends . . . Democratization of mapping

Crowdsourcing . . . Supplements standard and “official” mapping

Accuracy and Precision? Remote sensing signatures

Several low resolution signatures yield more information than a single high resolution signature

Combinatorial power of additional data from different sources

Next Steps Build on the accomplishments of China—US

Roundtable Expanded and new bi- and multi-lateral real

time data exchanges Attend to the forces driving the evolution of

Spatial Data Infrastructures SDIs at micro-, meso-, and macro-scales

Incorporate crowdsourcing and crowd science Key resources in context of shrinking finances
