Workshop Description:
Digital Disruption: Implications for the Geospatial Realm
This workshop will serve as a research forum on the varied aspects of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the emergence of the “Geospatial Realm”. As the understanding that geospatial, or locational, data has value for many organizations, the focus on this special type of data has also increased. Workshop activities will be facilitated focusing on this research area to discuss the “who, what, where, when, how, and why” of participating in this burgeoning research domain.
