• Why this workshop (without EU jargon...)

  • Science needs with today's data wealth are different from 10 years ago
  • GIS/OGC and VO worlds need interoperability across (which is advanced withn each)

• Why this workshop (with some EU jargon...)

  • VESPA (Planetary VO) has its roots (IDIS) in EU FP6 (few years ago..)
  • FP7 saw a working prototype of Planetary VO
  • H2020 consolidated Planetary VO and expanded its mapping component

• Share and advance on Surface imaging and mapping (human, computer-aided, geologic, geospatial)
• Integrate data through OGC and VO standards: opportunities and challenges
• Disseminate information on available tools and datasets
• Improve VESPA mapping capabilities (search, discovery, etc.)
• Contribute to advance standardisation of mapping for small (irregular) bodies

• 1999: I saw my first planetary data (MGS)
  • Volumes were on CD (700 Mb)
  • Only tool was isis2 (python did not exist back then...), only on Sparc/Sun
  • GIS was rudimentary (but USGS was already ahead!)
• 18 years after planetary mapping is much changed
  • Overall size of community larger
  • Overall size/complexity of data extremely larger
• BigData or not, robust data access/analysis approaches are needed
• A bit like with Unix, VO/OGC are around since a while, evolve and provide (enough?) flexibility

• 2009: Geological Mapping of Mars (ASI/USGS/IRSPS)

• Well, we will see.
• Hopefully outcomes to positively influence
  • VESPA developments
  • Standardisation
  • Community awareness
  • Expansion of user base

• We are working on a double special issue for 2 workshops:
  • 2017: Planetary Mapping and Virtual Observatory (EuroPlanet)
  • 2017: 3rd Planetary Data Workshop (USGS/LPI)
• Possibility of both technical/algorithm and scientific/analysis contribution (on 2 matching journals)
• Please fill the form online (links to be shared later during the workshop) indicating: a) Intention to submit a paper b) tentative title c) classification into more development/tools vs. data analysis/mapping
• For further questions, please get in touch with Angelo, Trent.
• More info to come in the next few weeks

• Wi-FI
  • single code at hotel (when it works)
  • custom accounts for the workshop (info on your badge)

Please let us know NOW if you have anything against being live-streamed/filmed/recorded...

Let the workshop begin...
