EuroSDR Workshop on National 3D Geoportals – 2nd Call for
Participation
21st of September 2009, FHNW, Muttenz/Basel

The 1st EuroSDR Workshop on ‘National 3D Geoportals - Research Issues,
Applications, Quality and Legal Issues’ will be held on the 21st of
September 2009 at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern
Switzerland in Muttenz/Basel (Switzerland). The workshop is organised
as part of the EuroSDR Project on Virtual Globes.

Workshop Website (Information & Online Registration): www.3dgi.ch/eurosdrws

This workshop, organised by EuroSDR and the University of Applied
Sciences Northwestern Switzerland FHNW, deals with Virtual 3D Globes,
emerging 3D National Geospatial Data Infrastructures (3D NGDIs) and
existing and future National 3D Geoportals. The aim of the workshop is
to assemble experts from throughout Europe to identify and discuss
some of the core issues, to provide for an exchange between
experienced users and interested parties and to raise the awareness
among scientists and industry representatives for NMCA's demands and
requirements with respect to Virtual 3D Globes and National 3D
Geoportals.

Topics of the workshop include scientific, technical, operational and
legal aspects of (future) national 3D geoportals:

* Quality and up-to-dateness of national 3D geoportals

* Reliability / credibility of national 3D geoportals

* Applications, application domains and potential user groups

* Geospatial collaboration based on 3D geoportals

* Organisational and operational issues

There will be presentations from leading 3D experts from NMCAs (e.g.
from IGN on géoportail.fr), industry (e.g. Google and ERDAS) and
academia. The workshop will also feature discussion sessions on
different key topics. This part of the programme is still open for
short presentations and we encourage an active participation of
EuroSDR members.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Muttenz

Stephan Nebiker and Eberhard Gülch

Co-Chairs of the EuroSDR Project on Virtual Globes
