TS04J: TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN SPATIAL DATA HANDLING [10591]

Commission: 3
Chair: Mr. Markus Schaffert, Germany
Rapporteur: Dr. Sagi Dalyot, chair FIG Commission 3, Israel

Spatial data plays an important role in the transformation towards a more sustainable and resilient future. However, data alone is not enough, and it must be integrated with fit-for-purpose operative application-oriented for the respective target group. Experts from other sectors often do not have sufficient knowledge on how geospatial data can be transformative in their profession to initiate sustainable transformation. This technical session purpose is to disseminate geospatial/SDI knowledge, skills and know-hows to expert domains inside and outside the geospatial realm to support sustainability, data management and socio-technical systems.

Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• What existing technological trends are out there?
• What expert domains can make use of geospatial data handling?
• What are the future technological gaps?
