Ciao,
alla luce delle discussioni svoltesi a Palermo, rimando in lista il seguente annuncio, trasmesso la prima volta un mesetto fa.
-
vi invito a dare massima pubblicità all’iniziativa, anche fuori dai “confini amministrativi” dell’Unione Europea (per conto mio ho già toccato 4 continenti)
-
resto a disposizione di chi volesse capire meglio come porsi rispetto all’evento, sia come possibile partecipante, sia come persona interessata.
-
scadenza per gli abstract: 3 marzo 2007
un saluto e grazie

[ feel free to forward this - and apologies for any cross-postings ]
It is my pleasure to invite you to the workshop described in the message attached below. I have been following the event since 1997, and this year I decided to propose myself to organize one of the session.
If you receive this invitation, it is because we are -or have been- in the process of discussing topics/opportunities related to the scope of the workshop, and because I believe that it would be interesting for you to participate and/or give a presentation
A) if you simply like to participate: please register, and come to Porto
B) if you are considering a presentation, please see in the message below all the details.
Within the general topic of the workshop, I have proposed focusing on:
- environmental spatial data infrastructure applications, including the presentation of other “infrastructures” that coexist on the same spatial footprint of INSPIRE-related SDIs , such as GRID computing for environmental modelling, collection of multi-country environmental data sets from private sector organizations, etc .
other related keywords of interest for me are e.g. : awareness raising/training, open source solutions, cost-benefit analysis, the “data-tools-people-processes” paradigm and others that I won’t bother you with in this mail.
The tentative title for the session is “…So you thought you had nothing to do with INSPIRE ?” …as an encouragement to participate, but this does not restrict the participation to “spatial data infrastructure newbies”.
There is more than one month for you to think and write an abstract.
If we can get presentations that will be considered of good level, we also have the opportunity of having papers published in a special issue of a Journal on Geoscience
I’ll be glad to provide clarifications.
Thank you for your attention, and regards.

Subject: 13th EC GI & GIS Worksop, Porto, 4-6 July, 2007 Call for papers
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that the 13th edition of the EC GI & GIS Workshops will take place in Porto, Portugal, 4 - 6 July 2007.
http://www.ec-gis.org/Workshops/13ec-gis/
With the agreement on the text of the INSPIRE directive the focus of this year’s workshop is on contribution of SDIs on environmental analyses and modelling.
The objectives of this year’s workshop are to:
- Identify the contribution of SDIs for environmental analysis, monitoring, and modelling; environmental protection, natural hazards prediction and mitigation, and other applications areas including water, soil, land use and land cover change, forestry, and atmospheric pollution;
- Review the current state of progress of the INSPIRE legislation,
- Offer an opportunity to the INSPIRE Drafting Teams to report on the development of the INSPIRE Implementing Rules
- Further our understanding of the implementation challenges, costs, and benefits of SDIs at national, regional, and local level
- Identify key issues and opportunities for European SDI projects.
The Workshop will be organised through a series of plenary sessions addressing common policy issues, and parallel sessions focusing in particular on applications / implementations of SDIs, and research issues
With this in mind this call for papers envisages submissions for the following topic areas
- SDIs for environmental analysis, monitoring, and modelling; environmental protection, natural hazards prediction and mitigation, and other applications areas including water, soil, land use and land cover change, forestry, and atmospheric pollution;
- SDI Implementations: We are particularly interested in models for coordinating multiple stakeholders (public/private sector)
- European funded projects: Lessons learnt and opportunities. We will hold a round table discussion on the synergies between the projects and opportunities ahead
- Social and economic impacts of implementing SDIs
We are particularly interested in accounts of what works, and what does not work, what are perceived benefits for policy, public administration, citizens and the private sector. Proposals will be evaluated by the programme committee and those accepted will be included in the on-line conference proceedings.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is the 3rd March 2007.
Full papers can be submitted for peer review to the International Journal of Spatial Data Infrastructures Research (IJSDIR) for publication in a special EC GI & GIS Workshop issue.
Best regards,
Karen Fullerton
