Geospatial in my words
• Add “when” and “where” to data• Find and retrieve that data• Visualize and analyze that data
* Turning Earth-located data into useful information
Ok, but what’s “data”?
• Almost anything, since we’re all walking GPSs, generating data
• Firehose analogy 10x today
Even simpler…
“Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.”
- Waldo Tobler

In Summary…
• X-Over! MetaData, Interop, Doc, etc…
• Everybody equal, Everybody participates, NO dumb questions
• Let’s solve some problems together
A peek ahead #1, Morphing MetaData
• From metadata doc to tagging
• From catalog portals to search engines and social networks
• From proprietary data to crowd-sourced
A peek ahead #2, Interoperability
• As Geospatial data creation and distribution becomes easier across various technology and platforms, Interoperability increases dramatically in importance.
• Interoperability standards like OGC become increasingly vital.
A peek ahead #3, SDIs
A spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is a data infrastructure implementing a framework of geographic data, metadata, users, and tools that are interactively connected in order to use spatial data in an efficient and flexible way.
