GI_Forum 2020
2020-07-06 00:00 - 2020-07-10 23:59
GeoInformatics is established today as effective methodology, based on georeferenced technologies and has become the standard feature in many application domains. How did this dynamic development towards a key discipline of digitalization happen, not only in the economic sector but in all spheres of our daily lives?
GI_Forum as a networking platform plays a crucial role in the GI-community: participants establish new contacts and exchange know-how during their time in Salzburg. Innovation happens, where long-time practical experience and in-depth methodological knowledge meet new ideas and ‘disruptive technologies’. It is our constant goal to anchor the first week of July in Salzburg as GI_Week in the annual event calendar and continue to be an invaluable meeting space for experts and ‘novices’ from the areas of research and business alike.

2020-08-26 12:30 - 13:30
Topic: Maps for mass consumption: Doing it the right way
The role of contemporary cartography in bridging the gap between information and action

Be it a pirate’s treasure map in literary fiction or a thinktank’s dramatic visualization of the spread of deadly diseases, maps have always been an inherent part of gripping storytelling. Then, why are more organizations not leveraging maps as a tool for more visual, engaging content?

How to Save Time and Storage Space with Industry-Leading Imagery Compression
2020-08-27 00:00 - 23:59
It’s been 20 years since Hexagon released the Enhanced Compressed Wavelet (ECW) file format. In that time, a lot has changed across the geospatial industry. Many novel, and not so novel, image storage strategies have come and gone. New data types like 3D and point-clouds have also appeared. But the one thing that has remained constant through all this change, managing geospatial imagery and earth observation data is still a challenging and costly endeavor for many organizations.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss how ECW continues to be the most efficient geospatial image file storage format for its unmatched ability to balance the demands of speed, quality, and size.
Join us as we discuss:

Selecting storage formats for organizational efficiencies
Reducing storage requirements, data duplication, and unnecessary data translation
Practical use cases and geospatial imagery compression strategies
New enhancements to ECW’s core technology and associated products
