[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source Park at Intergeo 2009
Folks, we would like to invite you to the Open Source Park at the upcoming Intergeo 2009 Trade Fair and conference in Germany. As in the past years OSGeo is organizing a shared presentation including a community section for Open Source Geospatial software projects, a speaker corner and presentation area and partner booths. There are still a few partner booth slots available. If you are interested in participating please contact Daniel Katzer from Hinte-Messe for further details and add me to CC as reference. Due to organizational learning processes we have been somewhat late in sending around this call and apologize that we will probably not be able to accommodate all interested parties. So please let us know quickly if you are interested in being part of the growing Open Source business presence at Intergeo. Find out more about past years events at below URLs (mostly in German language due to the more local focus of the earlier Open Source booths). OSGeo is also seeking active participants for the set up and organization of the community area and FOSSGIS booth duty. Fell free to contact me directly if you need more information on the event, community and project areas. With best regards, Arnulf Christl -- President OSGeo http://www.osgeo.org http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Intergeo_2006 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Intergeo_2007 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Intergeo_2008 http://www.fossgis.de/wiki/Intergeo_2009 (early planning stage) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] ISO 19115
Can anyone recommend a good English language tutorial or article on the metadata standard formalized as ISO 19115? I'm particularly interested in how if relates to the former FGDC metadata standard used in the United States, and the differences between the two standards. The FGDC metadata standard had some great documentation and tutorials. I've found far less supplemental material for ISO 19115, but maybe I'm not looking in the correct place. I worry this type of documentation might not materialize since we are dealing with an ISO spec. Any suggestions?

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] ISO 19115
Landon: Have you looked at the book: ISO Standards for Geographic Information by Kresse and Fadaie? Appendix B of this book has a good outline of ISO 19115 and it is referred to frequently throughout the book.

Thanks, Landon I'll have to double check with my colleagues but I believe the ISO 19115 North American Profile should be coming out from the FGDC soon if not already. It should have information about transitioning from the previous FGDC standard, I hope. Alex ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
