Dear colleague,

the ICA Commission on Management and Economics of Map Production is 
organizing a Workshop on Management of Geographic Information and Map 
Production on the 19th of November in conjunction with AutoCarto 2010 
(15-18th November - Orlando, Florida, USA). The topics which are 
considered during this workshop are:
Ø       Dataware, the use of open data in different applications in GI and 
map production, including also aspects of crowd sourcing;
Ø       Standardization, especially for the formal description of 
production lines ;
Ø       Value chain of GI.

The commission is also working on a book with the working title ?GI and 
Map Production Management? in which the topics mentioned above among 
others (e.g. quality control and models of management in GI) will be 
addressed. The presentations and discussion during the workshop will form 
an ideal opportunity to exchange ideas about these topics and construct a 
basis for the planned book.

If you are interested in attending the workshop, preparing a presentation 
for the workshop and/or contributing to the book, please mail to 
info at icamapproduction.org. 
The deadline for these contributions is on the 30th of September.
