Workshop Participants 
Workshop Background 
The workshop following the conference will be limited to approximately 30 invited participants. It will build on the conference proceedings by focusing on the development of a research agenda, identifying those topics of interest that will likely yield to concentrated research effort within short, medium, and long timeframes.  This workshop is the central activity for the Varenius Project's research initiative on Interoperating GIS.  The original proposal for this initiative can be found here.
