Collaboration in Geomatics: Moving Forward
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subject of collaboration comes up frequently within the Canadian and international Geomatics communities. The reasons for seeking more collaborative approaches within our field are clear: we stand to become more successful in our projects, programs, research efforts and business pursuits. As Geomatics practitioners, we are also better positioned to play a leadership role in meeting the challenges of our changing world. We have learned a great deal regarding methods that foster collaboration in the use and management of geographic information. Entire programs have been created with the primary purpose of overcoming barriers to sharing geographic information. Initiatives of this nature have enjoyed varying degrees of success by implementing innovative strategies, processes and organizational elements that support and advance collaborative environments. But how far have we really come through these efforts? Despite our hard work and good intentions, the fact is that many silos still exist within and between organizations and jurisdictions. Why does this problem persist and how can we attempt to realize the full benefits of collaboration? This paper examines a selection of Geomatics studies, projects and programs in Canada and abroad where fostering collaboration is a key element. The issues, challenges, objectives, methods and outcomes in each case have been reviewed for the purpose of creating a framework for successful collaborative efforts within the Canadian Geomatics community. * Corresponding author.
