Geospatial in my words • Add “when” and “where” to data • Find and retrieve that data • Visualize and analyze that data * Turning Earth-located data into useful information
Ok, but what’s “data”? • Almost anything, since we’re all walking GPSs, generating data • Firehose analogy 10x today
Even simpler… • “Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.” - Waldo Tobler

In Summary… • X-Over! MetaData, Interop, Doc, etc… • Everybody equal, Everybody participates, NO dumb questions • Let’s solve some problems together
A peek ahead #1, Morphing MetaData • From metadata doc to tagging • From catalog portals to search engines and social networks • From proprietary data to crowd-sourced
A peek ahead #2, Interoperability • As Geospatial data creation and distribution becomes easier across various technology and platforms, Interoperability increases dramatically in importance. • Interoperability standards like OGC become increasingly vital.
A peek ahead #3, SDIs A spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is a data infrastructure implementing a framework of geographic data, metadata, users, and tools that are interactively connected in order to use spatial data in an efficient and flexible way.
