4. 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

5. Ok, but what’s “data”? Almost anything, since we’re all walking GPSs, generating data Firehose analogy 10x today

6. Even simpler… “Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.” - Waldo Tobler

17. In Summary… X-Over! MetaData, Interop, Doc, etc… Everybody equal, Everybody participates, NO dumb questions Let’s solve some problems together

18. 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

19. 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.

20. 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.
