AGI Technical SIG and Ordnance Survey
Presenter: Ian Holt
Title: Open Data using Open GIS

This session will focus on bringing two of the most talked about elements of geospatial information together in a hands-on session, Open Data and Open GIS. Participants will manipulate OS OpenData with other open data sets using Quantum GIS, an open GIS, to answer a real world problem. This session is an abridged version of the successful OS OpenData Masterclasses.

Autodesk
Presenter: John Allen
Title: Conceptual Infrastructure Design in accurate geographic context: An Introduction to Autodesk Infrastructure Modeller

This session will provide an introduction to Autodesk Infrastructure Modeller in the context of a multi-disciplinary project environment. Participants will build a realistic, 3D view of an existing site by utilising geospatial and CAD data and will then add information at various levels of detail to represent stages in the design process. This will range from to civil surfaces to architectural models. Once built, the model will be used as a base for conceptual design, with users sketching in new data to create design proposals for stakeholder approval.

Esri UK
Presenter: Ed Morris
Title: Introducing Online Data Services from Esri UK (Wednesday @ 1200)

This session will introduce the range of feely available UK basemap services which are available from Esri UK. In this In this hands on session you will learn how to access these free services from Esri UK’s cloud based servers through the use of an ArcGIS Desktop Add-in and also through a simple web application. Finally you will explore the range of free base maps which are available from ArcGIS Online.

Presenter: Ed Morris
Title: Introducing ArcGIS Online from Esri UK (Thursday @ 1430)

ArcGIS Online is Esri’s complete cloud based collaborative content management system which allows users and organisations to manage their geographic information in a secure and configurable environment. This hands-on session will introduce attendees to the freely available features such as accessing basemaps, creating and publishing web maps and sharing data and information. Users will also be shown some of the features that are available with ArcGIS Online for Organisations.

Ordnance Survey
Presenter: Mark Le Page
Title: RAGALD - Rapid Assembly of Geo-Centred Linked Data Applications RAGLD

Have you ever wanted to work with Linked Data but not sure where to start?

RAGLD is a joint project between the University of Southampton, Seme4 Ltd. and Ordnance Survey that aims to provide tools, components and services that meets the rising demands for application developers to bring together, use and exploit diverse data sets from across the web. This session will give users hands-on opportunity to learn more about Linked Data and an opportunity to work with and feed into the development of these tools.
