Second call for extended abstracts

The GeoValue ´10 workshop focuses on the value of geoinformation, the assessment of Spatial Data Infrastructures, the socio-economic aspects of geoinformation, and quantitative methods and models for impact assessment. The workshop is addressed to experts in the fields of geoinformation science, economics, social and environmental sciences, urban planning and spatial data quality. It provides an opportunity to exchange experiences and methodologies across continents. This workshop represents an expansion of the discussions held last year at the GeoValue `09, organised in Hannover, Germany.

The Organising Committee of GeoValue `10 invites you to submit an extended abstract and take part in this important event. The International Programme Committee will consider the following contributions:

• Extended abstracts describing novel research, up to 3000 words without references (peer reviewed by two members of the Programme Committee);

• Contributions of young PhD researchers describing their PhD topics in the research areas of the workshop.

All selected extended abstracts will be orally presented at the workshop and printed in the workshop proceedings. Submitting an extended abstract will be considered as preregistration to the workshop.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

The international Programme Committee would llike to address the following overall topics:

• value, cost, and pricing of geoinformation
• assessment of spatial data infrastructures
• geoinformation value chain
• socio-economic impacts of geoinformation

The best extended abstracts and their authors will be invited to extend their abstract and contribute an article for the special issue of The International Journal of Spatial Data Infrastructures Research.
