Subject: Gateway Community Call 04/11 Noon Eastern - Apache SIS and
Standards in Geospatial information
>Hi All,
>
>We will have the gateway community talk tomorrow (Friday) at Noon Eastern
>(9 am Pacific).Dr. Martin Desruisseaux from Geomatys will discuss
>standards in Geospatial information and introduce Apache Spatial
>Information System (SIS) project.
>
>Call Time: 04/11 (Friday) at Noon Eastern (9 am Pacific).

>Passcode: 4906909 (without the #)

>Talk Abstract:
>Apache Spatial Information System (SIS) is a Java library for developing

>implements interfaces derived from UML published jointly by the Open
>Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the International Organization for
>Standardization (ISO). This presentation will introduce the OGC vision,

>support standards, and the Apache SIS implementation of those interfaces
>as well as future roadmap. This presentation will focus on metadata (ISO
>19115) and georeferencing by coordinates (ISO 19111). We will give a
>quick introduction to geodesy, in particular examining a common pitfall
