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.
