Venue: Institute of Geomatics, Castelldefels, Spain.
Status: Completed
Website:
http://www.ideg.es/page.php?id=787
Objectives: The EuroCOW is a biennial event organized by the Institute of Geomatics on behalf of the EuroSDR (European Spatial Data Research) Commission I and, for the 2010 edition, also on behalf of the ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) Working Group 1.5: Integrated Systems for Sensor Georeferencing and Navigation.
The organizers, aware of the current high competitiveness in the area, are trying to set the conditions for a useful, informative and informal three-day meeting in a relaxed atmosphere, and expect to attract the real experts with hands-on experience on the subject. For this edition, the Workshop topics are:
- Orientation and calibration of sensors
- Orientation and calibration of multi-sensor systems
- Standardization, certification and operational performance
- GNSS navigation and positioning
- INS/GNSS positioning, velocity and attitude determination
- Sensor navigation and orientation in difficult environments

Venue: Federal Office of Topography, swisstopo. Wabern, Switzerland
Status: Completed
Information:
Presentations
Objectives: This workshop, organized by EuroSDR and the Swiss Federal Office of Topography swisstopo, deals with the use of Web 2.0 technologies and communities for the mutual use of user generated content in the framework of national databases. Current applications and data management processes will be shown. Experiences and expectations as well as current limitations and challenges will be discussed.
Workshop topics:
- Web 2.0 technologies and communities
- User acceptance
- Data management
- Quality issues
- Legal tasks
- Advantages and Challenges for NMCAs
At the first workshop afternoon participants from private sector, universities and government will give some presentations, further presentations are welcome. At a second workshop day the common topics and future research aspects will be worked out.

Title: AGILE/EuroSDR/OGC Persistent Testbed for Research and Teaching in Europe
Dates: 2nd June 2009
Venue: Hannover, Germany.
Status: Completed
Website:
http://www.ikg.uni-hannover.de/agile/index.php?id=460
Objectives: The goal of the AGILE/OGC/EuroSDR initiative is to develop a European interest to advance a persistent testbed (PTB) capability to improve availability of interoperability development, testing, and implementation resources in support of geospatial research and major EU programs. The workshop should keep the interested European GI Community informed about ongoing testbed activities and show how they could benefit from participating. Future strategies should be developed and discussed. The workshop should consist of:
Presentations about the PTB itself
Presentations and show cases of former activities and demonstrators
Presentations concerning best practices and/or preferrable technologies for developping testing facilities.
The presentations should be surrounded by (panel) discussions about future strategies and testbed advances.
The value for the whole (European) GI community: the testbed provides testing facilities for initiatives like INSPIRE or GEOSSgeneral support of testing interoperability

Title: INSPIRE Atlas of Implementation Methods
Dates: 29th to 30th April 2009
Venue: Brussels, Belgium.
Status: Completed
Website:
http://www.spatialist.be/statgen/EuroSDR_090430.html
Objectives: Well-performing Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are not straightforward to implement due to many interdependent aspects (such as legal, economic, technological, organisational, and public administrative). In order to meet the INSPIRE directive, it is important for EU member states to know the key elements that lead to successful SDI implementation. In addition, the key areas for further research should be identified as soon as possible, to give the scientific community the possibility to carry out research supportive of the INSPIRE implementations. The ‘INSPIRE atlas of implementation methods’ meets these issues, by providing firstly a structured overview of INSPIRE implementation methods across the member states with references to the key documents in every state. Studying the experiences of the INSPIRE implementations is an important part of this inventory. Secondly, the atlas will define a research agenda for INSPIRE related topics. To accomplish this, two workshops will be organised: this one and another one in autumn 2009. The project is complementary to other related projects such as ESDIN, eSDInet+ and INSPIRE State of Play, since it is explicitly a research project.
