Canada: 1Spatial Addresses Spatial Data Quality at FOSS4G

1Spatial will be presenting at the 2007 annual worldwide Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G), held in Victoria, Canada from 24-27th September.

Chris Tagg, 1Spatial’s Radius Studio Product Manager, will be giving a presentation titled ‘Opening Spatial Databases for Data Quality Certification’ on Tuesday 25th September at 13:00 in Oak Bay 2.

The presentation will discuss the importance of spatial data quality and how, by embracing Open Source Technologies, the ability to assess and transform spatial data to ensure it is fit for purpose is possible, regardless of where your spatial datasets are held and the format they are in. The presentation focuses specifically on the concept of using the Feature Data Object (FDO) open source Application Programming Interface (API) for manipulating, defining, and analysing geospatial information regardless of where it is stored.
