  1. Benefits of Bilateral Real TimeData Exchange Ronald F. Abler, President International Geographical Union Fifth China-US Round Table on Scientific Data Cooperation Beijing, PRC 27 October 2011

  2. Benefits of Data Exchanges • Enrichment of collaborating and third parties • CAS-USGS Global Land Cover Initiative • PAGER (Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response) • Did You Feel It? Responses feed into PAGER • Mapped Assessments of Reported Intensities, Soil Amplification, Fault and Ground Motions, Seismic Intensity, and Population per Intensity

  3. Benefits . . . • Need comparable utilities that cross all political borders for other disasters, especially floods and atmospheric disturbances • ReliefWeb (http://reliefweb.int/) • Round Table has taken major steps toward the creation of a locative world • Real time locations of all phenomena known by anyone who cares to know, in real time

  4. Trends forcing the locative world • Need to know—creating the global context in which bi- and multi-lateral data exchanges will occur, even as such exchanges build that world • Scale extensions for GIS/GIScience • Mesoscale origins • Microscale needs (indoor) • Macro-scale advantages (global)—GSDI • Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI) http://www.gsdi.org/associnfo

  5. Trends . . . • Democratization of mapping • Crowdsourcing (crowd science, citizen science) • Astronomy, physics, genealogy • Medicine? • Peoples Atlas of Chicago • OpenStreetMap (OSM) http://www.openstreetmap.org/ • Collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world

  6. Trends . . . • Democratization of mapping • Crowdsourcing . . . • Supplements standard and “official” mapping • Accuracy and Precision? • Remote sensing signatures • Several low resolution signatures yield more information than a single high resolution signature • Combinatorial power of additional data from different sources

  7. Next Steps • Build on the accomplishments of China—US Roundtable • Expanded and new bi- and multi-lateral real time data exchanges • Attend to the forces driving the evolution of Spatial Data Infrastructures SDIs at micro-, meso-, and macro-scales • Incorporate crowdsourcing and crowd science • Key resources in context of shrinking finances
