This list is not a stranger to paradigm changes. See discussion below..

Frank, Yola, all:

Paradigm changes do seem to be necessary and positive, in order to shake
loose old habits (status quo). See for example the (positive) impact of the
“disruptive” Google Earth application, in causing people to rethink how
simple access and visualization can/should be provided. I’ll bet my house
that Digital Globe and the other data providers are selling more data than
ever, thanks to DE’s awakening of the popular market. (
while at the same
time it will not eat into the professional GIS market)

Frank is right on track with the observation that service-centricity
should/will replace data-centricity. Google has shown us time after time:
create intelligent services capable of consuming EXISTING data, rather than
forcing the rest of the world to modify and recreate their data in a more
intelligent form.  Are we learning? Do we even recognize the paradigm shift?

On the other hand we need to be careful NOT to scare public sector entities
into thinking that they should not implement SDI ver 1.0  because certainly
the next version will be better. (Same goes for semantic web.) Waiting for
paradigm shifts is not very proactive. Jumping in, and then recognizing and
adapting to shifts, is the way to go.  “Follow the cheese!”

The Vespucci summer institutes focus mostly on the medium-term (2-5 years)
research agenda
aimed at paradigm changes. This includes studying the
socio-economic effects of SDI. Building it (because we can) is not enough;
we need also to measure if doing so makes any pragmatic difference. We
already have preliminary information showing that it is worthwhile, but much
more is needed. All that we learn on the socio-econ side helps to feedback
into the next generation
otherwise there’ll be another status quo in 10
years: we all have SDIs, now what? Vespucci group discussions bring out
hidden assumptions and prejudices

On the short-term side there are many “quick win” lessons to be given for
those contemplating ver 1.0. Therefore Vespucci is also creating
mini-seminars for local government audiences. The first is scheduled for
Spring 2006.

We (SDI community) are certainly in a position to simultaneously build SDI
ver 1.0  AND get started designing SDI ver 2.0.

A key part of 2.0 is the migration path, to make the transition as easy as
possible, via simplicity and common sense. If properly executed there should
be zero need for training as far as “how to do it” (how much training was
necessary to get millions of users up and running on Google, or Google
Earth?) and that frees up resources to teach people WHY they should do it,
and how to leverage the SDI for better decision-making.

Cheers,

Thanks for this announcement, Mike!

Quote: "A particular feature of this year's module will be a focus on the
socio-economic impacts of SDIs through case-studies and a review of
methodological approaches. A focus on nascent municipal-level SDIs is also
planned. There is a huge amount to be learned through brainstorming within
this unique intersection of science and technology! Is adoption of standards
enough? Are paradigm changes necessary? Where is the SDI research agenda
heading?"

yes, it is necessary as far the german (private) GI industry last week made
an appeal to administrations and governments to change principally the
geopolicy, in order to be able to "earn" the prognosed 2 billion euro
revenues for german economic growth envisioned for year 2008... of course,
this needs not only an evolution, but a "revolution" in the speed of
paradigma changes... 

in my opinion the traditional "data centric" SDI focus needs to be changed
and be focused on service policies, especially at the local + regional level
we are just dealing with its "status_quo" across EU borders from bottom
up... ! 
Read more on [ www.NATURNET.org ]...

It is a good idea to consider a review of methodological approaches and the
need for paradigm change in SDI research in the next edition of Vespucci.
Please, keep us posted.

ZITAT DES MONATS: Die Umwelt in Sachsen - eine saubere Sache 

Nachhaltige Entwicklung des Freistaates Sachsen bedeutet, ganzheitliche 
Strukturen so zu setzen, dass soziale, ökologische und ökonomische
Interessen 
gleichberechtigt berücksichtigt werden. 
Ökologische Aspekte bei wirtschaftlichen Planungen auszuklammern, können 
wir uns heute nicht mehr leisten. Sie müssen ein zentraler Bestandteil des 
unternehmerischen Denkens und Handelns sein. 
Auch der Umweltschutz verfolgt keinen Selbstzweck. Hier sind verstärkt
wirtschaftliche 
Erwägungen maßgeblich. Die Menschen in Sachsen haben ein recht auf Schutz
und 
Erhaltung der einzigartigen Naturlandschaft ihrer Heimat. Aber sie wollen
auch ihr 
Ein- und Auskommen haben. Deshalb sind insbesondere ökologische Projekte,
die 
den aktiven Schutz der Natur mit der Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen verbinden,
von 
grosser Bedeutung.
