Geomatics covers the science and technology of gathering different sources of geospatial data, which after storing, interpreting, analyzing, modelling and distributing, can be turned into useful geographic information. Geomatics involves the tools and techniques used in surveying, cartography, photogrammetry, remote sensing, satellite navigation systems, geographical information systems and other earth-related disciplines.

Open Source GIS workshops @ ICC 2011


The ICA Working Group on Open Source Geospatial Technologies will be running three Open Source GIS walk-in sessions on 5th, 6th & 7th July 2011. This event is organised as part of ICC 2011 http://www.icc2011.fr/   , the 25th Conference of the International Cartographic Association in Paris by Dr Barend Köbben (ITC, Netherlands), with support from the ICA, the local organisers and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. 


Everyone attending ICC 2011 are invited to the Open Source GIS sessions to learn about Open Source tools for GIS and mapping on the Web. This session will help those who are new to open source GIS to learn and use open source GIS. Many thanks to Barend and colleagues at ITC for their organisation of this.
