Internet2 Geospatial Special Interest Group (SIG)

The three main objectives of the Internet2 Geospatial Special Interest Group (SIG) are:

1. To identify critical issues and formulate best practice techniques and recommendations for dealing with issues associated with the use of advanced networking technology to enable rapid and ubiquitous access to geospatial data.
2. Provide consulting services and material support for incorporating Geospatial technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) into the administrative and functional operations of the Internet2 community’s experimental networks.
3. Include a broad spectrum of academic disciplines in order to promote increased involvement in Internet2 activities.

Here is the complete version of the Internet2 Geospatial SIG charter.
