Presentations from the 2005 workshop in Stockholm
This presentation will show how over 30 companies of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation have worked together in an interoperable services framework to demonstrate technologies and capabilities which provide global access to information and rapid response to meet today's challenges. The Demonstration shows how progress in standards development by organizations such as ISO TC211, OGC, and National Standards Committees along with interoperability investments by government agencies and corporations, enable the fusion of tradecraft, data, technology and policy into accurate, timely and reliable geospatial information.
