Towards Uncharted Ground
Accessing and Preserving Geospatial Data into the Future
 
Geographic information systems have become pervasive across academia, government, and industry.  Much GIS data have long-term or permanent value, but little has been done to assure their longevity.  Compared to traditional cartography, geographic data can encode more complex spatial information and are more accessible.  But data are also far more mutable and subject to loss.  This meeting brings together a panel of experts for an informal discussion of the problem of managing the persistence of geographic information.
