Welcome to the Shaping the Future Wiki
On 15th May 2008 EDINA hosted a workshop entitled: Shaping the Future: Geospatial resources use in tertiary education.
This workshop was funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee under the SEE-GEO project. Two other workshops are also being run under the same project:

This wiki enables you to view the outputs from this workshop and to amend, append and comment on them to ensure your workshop contributions and any post-workshop ideas are appropriately represented. However, please do not delete any text. where you think text should be deleted please place a comment on the appropriate page, explaining what and why.
The outputs for each workshop session each have their own page in this wiki.They can be accessed for viewing and editing from this page, below, and from the Side Bar to the right.
Session 5 (Roles and Responsibilities) and Session 6 (Making it happen) particularly need attention - there is more information on the relevant pages.
These digital outputs have been transcribed by EDINA staff based on the outputs produced by workshop delegates during the various sessions. Outputs are available for viewing, editing and commenting on, via the following pages:
Session 1: Future Opportunities and Challenges
Session 2: How Will We Work (personas session)
Session 3: The Future GI World: Prediction statements
Session 4: Enablers
Session 5: Roles and Responsibilities (especially needs attention)
Session 6: Making It Happen (especially needs attention)
As a reminder, the aims of this work shop were to:
- establish the future requirements of those who use geospatial resources within UK tertiary education;
- focus on the 'what','who', 'where' and 'when':
- what will we want to be doing in 5 years time
- what sorts of data, services and tools will we need
- how will people want to access and use the data
- who will we be working with
- how do we want to exploit the new types of geospatial technologies, etc.
- identify the roles & responsibilities of ALL interested partiesidentify the next steps and actions
- identify the next steps and actions

There's a relevant article in Eos 89(32) p.291 (5 August 2008) entitled "Recommendations for making geoscience data accessible and usable in education"
