1. GIS at SDSC Domains: –From geology, environmental science, hydrology, ocean biodiversity, regional development, Katrina response, archaeology, to neuroscience and ophthalmology. All levels of infrastructure: –Spatial databases (Oracle, MySQL, Postgres/PostGIS, ArcSDE) –Spatial servers (ArcGIS Server, ArcIMS, WMS/WFS servers) –Spatial web services, incl. spatial information integration –Client applications: COTS, open source, mashups, in-house Novel approaches: –Map assembly services –Ontology-aware spatial query processing –Distributed spatial data querying using mediators –Wrappers for spatial data sources of different type –XML-based vector mapping –Portal integration –SOA integration, sensor data management –Long-term spatial data preservation Collaborations: –Industrial partners (ESRI), associations (OGC), government agencies (USGS, EPA, NCDC, etc.) GIS-related funding: NSF, NIH, NIEHS, NARA, ESRI Classes and short courses taught: from archaeology to medical sciences
