ELISE Workshop: Data Ecosystems for Geospatial Data

On 12 November 2020, 14:00 CET, the ELISE Action of the ISA² Programme is organising a workshop on Data Ecosystems for Geospatial Data.

Geospatial data is highly valued for their potential to:

• Generate significant socioeconomic and environmental benefits;
• lead to the establishment of innovative services;
• benefit a high number of users, in particular SMEs;
• assist in generating revenues; and
• be combined with other datasets.
   

Geospatial data is the result of important investments in terms of infrastructures, standards (such as INSPIRE). Support programs and funding were made available to stimulate the exploitation of geospatial data in spatial data infrastructures. However, it remains challenging to sustain and modernise the approaches established by spatial data infrastructures. 

During the workshop, we will share and discuss the lessons learned from the analysis of multiple existing data ecosystems which are sustainable and well-integrated to a certain extent. The workshop will show how Ecosystem Thinking may contribute to foster the links and exchanges inside and between such ecosystems and to identify and trigger the uptake of Spatial Data Infrastructures.

Alexander Kotsev from the Joint Research Centre of European Commission will introduce the workshop. This short intervention will be followed by presentations by Prune Gautier, Sébastien Martin and Slim Turki from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology. They will present the context of the study and the adopted methodology followed by detailed results of the analysis of representative data ecosystems.

In the second part, a panel of Data Ecosystems experts will discuss the recommendations, the implementation requirements for scalable and sustainable data ecosystems, as well as replicability opportunities cross domains. Visit the Joinup page for full details.

If you cannot join, register anyway, we will send you the slides and recording.

This webinar is part of a series of Webinars performed by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre under the ELISE ISA² Action. The aim of these studies is to quickly engage with new topics of relevance to location interoperability, the digital transformation of government and socio-technical developments in this arena.
