Scenarios are specially constructed stories about the future. Each scenario represents a distinct, plausible world. The purpose of scenario planning is not to predict the future; but rather, to show how different forces can manipulate the future in different directions. It is very important to realize this, for this procedure helps to identify these forces if and when they happen. The utility of scenario planning lies in its ability to anticipate the future. When this is accomplished, the ability to better respond to future events is increased. 1, record 3, English, - scenario%20planning

Open GISs are integrated systems and tools that provide interoperability among data and processes for solving geospatial problems. One aspect of providing interoperability is to overcome the difficulties caused by the data conversion required in current GIS implementations. GIS users are usually faced with the problem of converting geospatial data from many sources and GIS platforms; it has been found that up to 80% of the time and cost of any GIS implementation is spent on populating the GIS database. Open GISs are expected to overcome this obstacle by utilizing geospatial metadata and spatial data transfer standards. Although opinions currently differ on geospatial data and geoprocessing standardization and on the specifics of the architecture of open GISs, it is generally agreed that, at a minimum, they should automate the task of populating GIS databases. In addition to data interoperability, open GISs should facilitate simple strategies for application development(model integration), and provide solutions on highly distributed heterogeneous computing environments that include computing resources ranging from desktop machines to supercomputers. This course addresses the current trends and approaches for building open GISs and discusses future directions for these GISs. Also covered are the benefits of open GISs to GIS users and developers.

Les SIG ouverts sont des systèmes et outils intégrés permettant l'interopérabilité entre données et processus pour la résolution de problèmes géospatiaux. L'un des aspects de cette interopérabilité consiste à surmonter les difficultés que pose la conversion des données nécessaires dans les implémentations courantes sur SIG. Les utilisateurs de SIG sont habituellement confrontés au problème de la conversion de données géospatiales de plusieurs provenances et plates-formes de SIG; on a constaté que jusqu'à 80 % du temps et des coûts de toute implémentation sur SIG sont consacrés à garnir la base de données du SIG. Les SIG ouverts devraient permettre de surmonter cet obstacle par l'utilisation de métadonnées géospatiales et de normes de transfert de données spatiales. Bien que les opinions diffèrent actuellement quant à la normalisation des données géospatiales et du géotraitement ainsi que quant aux caractéristiques précises de l'architecture des SIG ouverts, il est généralement admis qu'il devraient à tout le moins permettre l'automatisation de la tâche de l'assemblage des bases de données de SIG. En plus d'assurer l'interopérabilité des données, les SIG ouverts devraient faciliter la mise au point de stratégies simples de développement d'applications (intégration de modèles) et offrir des solutions dans les environnements informatiques hétérogènes hautement distribués constitués de ressources informatiques variant des ordinateurs de bureau aux superordinateurs. Ce cours porte sur les tendances et les approches en réalisation de SIG ouverts et aborde les orientations futures de ces SIG. On y traite également des avantages des SIG ouverts pour les utilisateurs et les développeurs de SIG.

The Internet has become a medium for the exchange of GIS data and services. This workshop will survey a number of significant Web sites which offer online data and metadata search and retrieval, interactive mapping systems, interactive data visualization, and online data ordering. We will also review some of the underlying technical issues in creating an interactive GIS Web site, with an examination of future directions for Internet-based applications, such as Java, CORBA, distributed databases, online ordering systems, etc. International Symposium "Geomatics in the Era of RADARSAT", Ottawa, 1997. 1, record 6, English, - GIS%20Resources%20and%20Services%20on%20the%20Internet
