Paper Released on SDI Developments in Worldwide Mega Cities
Date: 1 May 2009
A paper by Ms. Silke Boos and Prof. Hartmut Müller, Germany, has been released on an internet search concerning the use of Spatial Information Technology in the world’s currently existing mega cities.
The search starts from a nationwide view on the execution and the progression status of SDI's in the home countries of mega cities and zooms in to the specific aspects of spatial data management in the metropolitan areas of special interest. As a result, the authors come to the conclusion that current SDI development in mega cities covers the whole range from first stage conceptual ideas up to an almost complete operational SDI availability.
The paper has been prepared as part of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) Commission 3 WG 3.2 (Spatial Data Infrastructure) project. It is available on the FIG website in PDF and HTML formats:
