Geospatial Integration Showcase
The Geospatial Integration Showcase is a practical demonstration of Application and Data Interoperability which underpins FOSS4G presentations and workshops and provides a platform for future initiatives, including:
- Testing suite programs
- Spatial Data Infrastructures
- Open Data programs
- An OSGeo demo CD (often called Live CD)
- Future conferences
- Mashups and Boot Camps
FOSS4G's reputation as the international gathering of the Geospatial Open Source tribes, along with its high profile show casing of Open Geospatial systems makes it an ideal forum for users and developers to build then launch long lasting geospatial initiatives.
The Integration Showcase is the sum of many long term integration projects and is structured to be significantly bigger than a one event demonstrator and all participants are strongly encouraged to think long term.
Direct FOSS4G goals
The showcase direct goals are:
- To demonstrate interoperability between the full stack of Open Source and Proprietary Geospatial applications.
- To support cross-project testing and comparison.
- To provide baseline applications to underpin FOSS4G & OSGeo presentations and workshops.
- To provide a catalyst to encourage data custodians to publish their data into the Spatial Data Infrastructure & facilitate mashup applications.
- To simplify deployment and use of Geospatial Data, in particular by supporting GeoFOSS integration into software distributions.
- To facilitate development of Spatial Data Infrastructures.
