based.
Full-length paper submissions for the book will be expected to address
fundamental theory or research in any area of spatially enabling governments or

economic, or institutional challenges in developing spatial data infrastructure
or advancing spatially enabled societies;

enablement initiatives;
* document and analyze successes and challenges to be found in standards
efforts, data harmonization efforts, and case histories;
* describe conceptual models that incorporate emerging or future
technological, institutional, economic, legal or combined solutions in
overcoming spatial data sharing or spatial enablement impediments;
* compare or analyze existing alternative approaches or models for
planning, financing, and implementing SDI or related initiatives in different
countries or regions of the world and assess the effects of policy and
technical choices in addressing cultural, social and economic issues;
* assess whether SDI or spatial enablement projects are achieving
programmatic goals or broader goals such as supporting national economic
competitiveness, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of government and
advancing health, safety, and social well-being;

technological, institutional and financial approaches and their ultimate
effects on improving efficiency, effectiveness, and equity;
