Bern, 31 October -2 November 2013

This workshop, organized by University of Bern, aims at providing an interdisciplinary platform to present and learn about best practice rules for geospatial data exchange, metadata tools and archiving facilities:

  • Discuss the possibilities of geodata transfer and preservation not only within small workgroups but also large interdisciplinary projects
  • Discover the geodata sharing features of open source (e.g. CMS Cartaro) as well as proprietary (e.g. ArcGIS) software
  • Learn about successful applications of geodata crowdsourcing for scientific purposes
  • Present your own ideas and experiences related to the provision of geodata among different disciplines and levels of knowledge
  • Find out about the potential of Web-GIS solutions for international cooperation
  • Get to know about innovative technologies for sustainable and easyto-access geodata archiving

Expert talks, scientific presentations as well as training sessions will enable participants to use innovative and sustainable methods of geodata cooperation.
