Coastal web atlas interoperability workshop and conference toward a European Atlas of the Seas.
Experts will gather this summer to influence the further development of coastal web atlases for coastal zone management at an international coastal/ocean mapping and informatics workshop and European conference, scheduled back-to-back to take place on 7-10 July 2008 at the European Environment Agency (EEA) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The technical workshop is organized by the emerging International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN), and follows the transatlantic workshops “Potentials and Limitations of Coastal Web Atlases” (University College Cork, Ireland, 2006) and “Coastal Atlas Interoperability” (Oregon State University, USA, 2007). The EEA coastal atlases conference will follow the workshop and has the objective to inform EEA partners about the development of coastal atlases. The workshop and conference will demo an atlas interoperability (semantic mediator) proof-of-concept, in development with the assistance of MMI since summer 2007.
