Pulusani will discuss the role of open spatial enterprises in helping national, regional and local governments make smarter decisions as they face natural or man-made disasters or day-to-day business challenges. The event brings together participants from around the globe to focus on the policies, technologies and applications for enabling a spatially interoperable world through open, interoperable spatial data infrastructures (SDIs).

We applaud the standards and initiatives that are being discussed at GSDI-8 to foster the evolution of spatial data infrastructures among organizations worldwide." To promote the further adoption of global SDIs, Intergraph is also hosting one of six pre-conference workshops. Intergraph's workshop, "Evolution of Standards Today - A Solid Foundation for Information Management Tomorrow," will showcase interoperable and industry, open standards-based Web and desktop technologies for developing and maintaining interoperable SDIs and LIM systems. Highlights of the workshop include customer implementation successes and Oracle(R)'s participation with services-oriented architectures and enterprise data management presentations.
