Don’t forget the series of upcoming GIS Web Services workshops being conducted by the NYS GIS Clearinghouse. From the NYS GIS Site: “This workshop will introduce attendees to the fundamental concepts of GIS web services and raise awareness of the means of leveraging the Internet to utilize geographic data without having to host the GIS data and/or develop necessary tools. Topics to be incorporated in this workshop include explanation of the web services and the basics of data use via web service platforms. Demonstrations will cover the existing methods of integrating GIS data with web services.” The second one starts On Thursday in Syracuse, NY and the next one will be in Elmira. Please check the workshop website for schedule, registration and more details.
GIS Web Services Workshops
January 8, 2008 by synergis
Hi all,
I just got back from Syracuse (SUNY campus) and, since I didn’t see anyone from Ithaca / Ithaca Area, I feel obliged to communicate to you that it’s a great workshop.
The workshop is much more then just informative & rising awareness. It’s a must for those who wonder about WMS (web mapping service) vs. WFS (web feature service) vs. WCS (web coverage service … have you heard about this one?) and last but not least for those want to learn how to snoop into other wondrous things like 3D Google Earth…
