HUGE honor to get to know @astro_jeremy, @Geocogito, @csa_asc, @JamesGIS, Danika van Proosdij this evening at dinner! #DigitalEarth2015

#DigitalEarth2015 indeed off to a bang with African drum troupe! #GIS <a href="http://t.co/7pS3wKZB9v" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://t.co/7pS3wKZB9v

Still compelling in its vision: The 1998 speech that Al Gore never gave (as he was on the presidential campaign trail) #DigitalEarth2015

Answering the Q "Can you go to the Internet and say "tell me about this place?" still difficult today even with GIS #DigitalEarth2015

Goodchild: Simulation of not only how the Earth looks, but how the Earth works (dynamics) MUST be part of a Digital Earth #DigitalEarth2015

Horizontal integration of day (by layers) is easy, but VERTICAL integration, (the geographic spike) is still difficult. #DigitalEarth2015

1/2 Goodchild: Great progress in immersive env, search/retrieval of geospatial data, mother of all databases, but ...

2/2 Very little progress on Digital Earth as repository of knowledge on Earth dynamics or mechansim for integration
#DigitalEarth2015
November 9, 2024 at 4:12 PM
Goodchild: of the 3 V's of Big Data, variety the most critical for DigitalEarth (new era of synthesis) #DigitalEarth2015

1/2 THE research challenge: scan web for geospatial fact, conflate it, produce consensus estimate w/ uncertainty #DigitalEarth2015
November 9, 2024 at 4:12 PM
2/2 true data integration #DigitalEarth2015
November 9, 2024 at 4:12 PM
Lest we forget: In a world of abundant data we still know very little about where it came from or if we should trust it #DigitalEarth2015
November 9, 2024 at 4:12 PM
Goodchild: Beware of letting data speak for themselves: uncertainty, spatial resolution, scale will always be with us. #DigitalEarth2015

On problem of repository of interoperable MODELS of Earth, ecologists (+ ocean scientists) making progress. #DigitalEarth2015
November 9, 2024 at 4:12 PM
Gr8t plug by Goodchild 4 discrete global grids. Happily @esri using DGG to design new ecological marine units map #DigitalEarth2015

What of the problem of dark data, especially ocean/coastal? Thin/missing metadata? Not just find, but EVALUATE #DigitalEarth2015
November 9, 2024 at 4:12 PM
Goodchild: most useful bit of metadata is phone # of person who last USED the dataset (peer review of data?) #DigitalEarth2015

Foresman et al.'s Queensland University of Technology (QUT) prototype Cube Globe for the G20 Summit a true realization of #DigitalEarth2015

Nick Hedley: Swiss known for doing "delicious things" w/ LiDAR. So true, but so R his virtual simulations in game engines #DigitalEarth2015
November 9, 2024 at 4:11 PM
1/3 Follow the great augmented reality work of Nick Hedley & students at Simon Fraser U. #DigitalEarth2015
November 9, 2024 at 4:11 PM
2/3 augmented reality work enables new relat from ability to view/interact w/ geog info + analysis at will + in situ #DigitalEarth2015
