ISPRS Logo   Inter Commission Working Group IV/VIII on: Updating and Maintenance of Core Spatial Databases
  
 

 

Our mission:

 

Terms of Reference:

  • Automated and autonomous processes for imaging data-based updating of core spatial databases.
  • Development of strategy and processes for efficient maintenance of core spatial databases at the 2.5-D and 3D levels at local, regional and global scales.
  • Updating process through efficient use of information intelligence embedded within the spatial databases.
  • Theoretical and operational aspects of incremental updating and versioning of vector and raster core spatial databases
  • Automated algorithms for security and commercial-based versioning of core spatial databases
  • Study of the special needs for maintaining spatial database subsets for disaster response and recovery efforts and for search and rescue operations.
  • Collaboration with national mapping agencies for understanding operational needs for updating and maintenance of core databases and other groups, such as EuroSDR, Global Mapping, UNSDI, GSDI and ISPRS WGs

 

ISPRS JOINT WORKSHOP on:
"Core Spatial Databases - Updating, Maintenance and Services - from Theory to Practice"
15-17 March, 2010
