| The AGI |
The UK's Association
for Geographic Information has an excellent Web site, giving
access to all kinds of on-line resources. These include the
AGI dictionary of GIS terms, newsletters, a GIS bibliography,
frequently asked questions list, details of conferences, and
job vacancies information. |
| AGILE
- EDUCATION |
The Working Group on Education
of AGILE, the Association of Geographic Information Laboratories
of Europe, has around 40 members. Everybody who is interested
in the working group and who will actively participate is
most welcome.
The site should become an information source for everyone
interested in education in the field of GeoInformation, and
is certainly not limited to members of the WG only: Everybody
is welcome to view all the information on this site, registered
members of the working group can add to and comment on (most
of) the content. |
| British
Isles GPS Archive Facility |
The facility is funded by
NERC (Natural Environment Research Council) and operated by
the IESSG at the University of Nottingham. The facility archives
and delivers GPS data to scientists, from a soon to expand
network of over 50 continuously recording GPS stations sited
throughout the UK, including the Ordnance Survey active stations.
A wide and increasing range of science is being serviced
by the archive, helping to reduce the costs of research
by way of data acquisition and storage, with availability
of some data sets reaching back as far as 1996.
Recent examples of research enabled through the archive
include: wildlife tracking (foxes and red deer), vertical
land movement, post-glacial rebound, weather forecasting
(tropospheric water vapour content), space weather (ionospheric
activity), ocean tide loading, georeferencing of remotely
sensed imagery, and an archaeological 'dig'.

Flowmap |
Flowmap is a software package
dedicated to analyzing and displaying interaction or flow
data, developed by the developed at the Faculty of Geographical
Sciences of the Utrecht University in the Netherlands. You
can obtain a free download from this site. |
|
FreeGIS |
The FreeGIS Project provides:
* software overview on free Geographic Information Systems
(this web site)
* communication on developments, plans, infos on free GIS
software and free Geo-Data (mailing list)
* software and data prepared for direct use (CD) |

The Geographer's Craft |
The Geographer's Craft site,
University of Colorado. A full course on GIS and related issues.
Not to be missed. |
|
GIS Development |
The GIS portal. The main objective
of the portal is information dissemination and knowledge sharing.
www.GISdevelopment.net is in a constant process of integrating
the content base of activities in the field of Geographic
Information Sciences from all over the world and to make this
information available to all. |
|
The GIS Files |
The GIS files is an interactive
learning zone introducing the basic concepts of GIS produced
by the Ordnance Survey. Contains useful material on GIS plus
case studies. |
| GIS Map Book Gallery |
ESRI's site with an excellent
introduction to the field of GIS and a GIS map gallery of
examples. |
| GITA

|
LGISC GIS Primer |
The Louisiana Geographic Information
Systems Council created this web site to introduce the concepts,
strategies, and methods for local, state, and federal entities
interested in the implementation, development, and support
of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in their organization.

| The NCGIA |
The NCGIA (National Center
for Geographic Information and Analysis) is an independent
research consortium whose primary mandate is to conduct basic
research in geographic information science and its related
technology. There are three sites in the consortium: University
of California Santa Barbara, the State University of New York
at Buffalo, and the University of Maine. |
| The OpenGIS Consortium |
The OpenGIS consortium (OGIS)
is dedicated to the development of an open systems approach
to geoprocessing - basically this means the freedom to exchange
data between systems and allow users to use the analytical
functions of one GIS with those of another. A bit like the
way you can work with different programmes on the Windows
Desk Top. OGIS is important because it is recommending a range
of open data structures which should be supported by all GIS
products. No more data conversion problems! |
|
OpenSource GIS |
This effort represents an
attempt to build a complete index of Open Source / Free GIS
related software projects. |
|
Spatial Odyssey |
The Spatial Odyssey site is
one which will be referred to many times throughout the course
which contains useful reference material. There is also a
list of journals which contain GIS articles, and details of
how to search these. |
