A Taskforce (for the integration of geography and statistics) Geography = Cartography + Statistics Here regarded as a descriptive science (or profession) Descriptions (nowadays object based models) of the world The integration of cartographic and statistical information Cartography Maps (here as produced by NMA’s) Indicates the spatial structure of physical systems (of objects) as nodes and networks. Statistics Statistics (here as produced by NSI’s) Attributes to systems (real and virtual) objects Indexes to indicate the states of system processes (over time) Captured through censuses (readings of sensors), 14-15 March 2013 Joint NSI NMA GISCO 2013 Workshop

Joint NSI NMA GISCO 2013 Workshop 1. Real User Needs The taskforce should keep in mind that the overriding purpose for the current action is to provide all levels of public authority with an integrated system of qualified “geographies” to serve as the empirical foundation for all direct and indirect actions to monitor-, manage – and develop -the man environmental systems for which they are responsible. 14-15 March 2013 Joint NSI NMA GISCO 2013 Workshop

Joint NSI NMA GISCO 2013 Workshop Container ships are cargo ships that carry all of their load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a technique calledcontainerization. They are a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport and now carry most sea-going non-bulk cargo. Container ship capacity is measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). Typical loads are a mix of 20-foot and 40-foot (2-TEU) ISO-standard containers, with the latter predominant. There are two main types of dry cargo: bulk cargo and break bulk cargo. Bulk cargoes, like grain or coal, are transported unpackaged in the hull of the ship, generally in large volume.[3] Break-bulk cargoes, on the other hand, are transported in packages, and are generally manufactured goods.[4]  Today, approximately 90% of non-bulk cargo worldwide is transported by container, and modern container ships can carry up to 16,020 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) (CMA CGM Marco Polo). As a class, container ships now rival crude oil tankers and bulk carriers as the largest commercial vessels on the ocean. 14-15 March 2013 Joint NSI NMA GISCO 2013 Workshop
