Title
Geoinformatics applications: where to next?
Abstract
Geospatial informatics has achieved a level of maturity that is bringing spatial data to ever more applications. Examples include web mapping, 3-D browsers, spatial data infrastructures, sensor webs, and location based services. Key principles to this achievement include: robust open source and proprietary implementations; consistent geospatial concepts across implementations; and standards adopted through open consensus offered freely as in free beer on the web. Several applications are now ripe for rapid development based on this established baseline of standards, software implementations and deployed systems. The value and use of geospatial information will continue to increase through various systems-of-systems of geospatial services. Beyond traditional SDI communities the Geoscience communities are rapidly developing information systems using OGC and other open standards. The application of geospatial to Business Intelligence is poised for phenomenal growth. The emergence of mobile Internet will result in the second generation of location-based services.
