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

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

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
7
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
8
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
9
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
10
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
