| How Can Newspaper Business Models Succeed with Spatial Information Technologies? |
|
"Newspaper business models are struggling. Changing patterns in readership, advances in internet technologies and the development of competing businesses are all contributing toward these difficulties. The business model for newspapers has not changed significantly over nearly 300 years. Spatial technologies offer the possibility to signficantly alter that business model, enabling newspaper publishers to become more adaptive, creative and integrative in nature."

WHITE PAPER: Extending 3D Models Beyond Application Dead Ends We are quickly moving toward a world where intelligent 3D models will interface with sensor systems for a realistic, up-to-date picture of our world. But for this vision to become a reality, we need compatibility and connectivity between different tools, data types and data models. Vector1 Media has partnered with Safe Software to explore this interoperability between 3D data formats.

| REVIEW |
| Book Review: Map Use - Reading and Analysis |
 Map Use: Reading and Analysis is about reading maps. The book is
oriented toward helping people to understand how maps work and how they can be
used to communicate. Where other cartographic books often describe
techniques alone, this book provides explanations on how different map
techniques are being used. That process ensures that readers begin to
think not only about creating maps, but what a map can be used for and
how it can help other people to understand. V1 Magazine editor Jeff
Thurston reviews the book and provides a summary. |

| INTERVIEW |
| Exploring the Role of GIS in the Enterprise |
|
|
ESRI fashioned a bold move toward enterprise geospatial capabilities
four years ago when they announced the ArcGIS Server product and
accompanying web services. The embrace of distributed enterprise
computing makes geospatial data far more ubiquitous in an organization
and reaches far more users. V1 Magazine editor Matt Ball recently spoke
with Bill Meehan, director, Utilities Solutions at ESRI about the
enterprise geospatial approach and the promise of geospatial
contributions for smart grid development.

| EVENT REPORTS |
| GITA's GIS Conference Emphasizes Involvement |
 The Geospatial Information Technology Association's 2009 Geospatial
Infrastructure Solutions (GIS) Conference took place April 19-22 in
Tampa, Florida. The event aimed to involve members early and often,
with a 'design your own program' appeal to members during the planning
stages, followed by the interactive discussions, and an emphasis during
the general sessions on the benefits of becoming involved. |
