Cascadoss International Symposium and Workshop, 16th, 2008 - Jun 19th, 2008 in Warsaw, Poland

The international symposium will bring together both professional developers and (potential) customers of GIS/RS Open Source technology and will, as such, stimulate research & innovation and networking in this field. The workshop part targets GIS-experts with a high level of expertise in GIS and/or programming, such as software service providers and IT/GIS-SMEs.

Event organized within the CASCADOSS project.

Presentation: Trends in development of Free and Open Source Software for Geomatics

From Dave Mcllhagga's presentation on FOSS4G 2008:

  • value is the solution, not the technology
  • solutions drive the technology - not the other way around
  • FOSSGIS Business Models
  • Commercial (don't mix this up!) Proprietary GI solutions versus FOSS4G
  • FOSS4G == commercial

...

Trends:

  • The geospatial industry is moving toward Open Standards. Open Standards facilitates:
    • Interoperability between agencies which increases availability of data (in Europe, see INSPIRE)
    • Move to Standards based, Commercial Off The Shelf (SCOTS) software. In turn SCOTS software becomes a commodity item which brings the price of the SCOTS software down.
    • Without vendor lock-in traps, Open Source successfully competes with proprietary software.
  • Semantic web
  • Sensor web (SOS)
  • Web Processing Service
  • FOSS4G Interoperability Trends:
