From Mashups to Infrastructure--GeoWeb 2007

July 23-27, 2007

Vancouver, BC

GeoWeb 2007's principal theme, "From Mashups to Infrastructure," reflects the breadth, the evolution and the growing maturity of the GeoWeb. This theme acknowledges the highly visible consumer applications that helped spawn the GeoWeb while emphasizing that the GeoWeb is increasingly playing a meaningful role in mainstream, mission-critical applications. As such, the GeoWeb is now a key component in critical decision-making across a broad spectrum of market segments and application domains.
