SUBJECT:
Digital archives preserve different forms of materials, ranging from old maps, aero photos, and satellite images to numerical maps. In Taiwan, a number of academic and governmental agencies are actively engaged in the establishment of digital archives. Beyond Taiwan, a number of bodies in Japan, the US and other parts of the world are also actively involved in the establishment of digital archives to preserve old Taiwan maps. One of the main tasks in the application and promotion of digital archives is to introduce geographical information into these digital archives, generating added values to the development of academic research as well as applications in analyzing and managing social issues.
In this symposium, related experts and scholars will be invited to engage in wide-ranging discussions on geographical information digital archives. Topics will include: Time/space information establishment and integration, information display and virtual reality, information supply and value added intellectual property and related applications. This symposium will provide a platform for the exchange and sharing between domestic and foreign scholars, facilitating the exchange of geographical information digital archives at home and abroad.
Experts and scholars interested in the establishment and application of Geographic Information Digital Archives are welcome to participate.
