Pre-conference Workshop 1 – Standards Workshop – Standards into Action WSS 1 Standards Workshop – Part I – Standards and How They Can Contribute to SDI Advancing SDIs – The Role of Standards (9:00-9:30) Opening will be given by Iain Greenway on the subjects to be covered. Each speaker will then give a high level overview as to why standards are a critical subject. Presentations by:
Making Sense of Standards (9:45-11:45 incl. coffee break) A discussion of key SDI standards and how organizations can and should use them to build out local, regional and global SDI. A discussion of major standards being applied to address improved data sharing and enhanced decision-making. This will include several short standards vignettes that reinforce the application of standards and best practices to meet a range of needs. Presentations by:
Filling the Gaps (11:45-12:30) A discussion of plans and work in progress to address urgent challenges being identified by the community, and what more is needed. The ultimate goal is to have this panel be fully interactive and driven by questions from the audience. Panel to include:

Round table for American SDIs Our goal is to share success stories, issues and general information on SDI development with neighbors in a region and across regions. We believe this is the way we all grow and improve locally, nationally, and regionally. One way to share information is through a series of round-table sessions on a regional basis where we each can share our experiences with others and generate interaction with our neighbors. Panel topics We ask the panelists to address one or more of the following questions:

GSDI Meeting – Global Registries and Portals Roundtable Commission: GSDI Chair: tba. There are many existing data registries and portals around the globe. Many already interoperate and many do not. There are different metadata standards in use, different interfaces for publishing data, searching for data, and accessing data. This round table discussion will result in a sense of whether the GSDI Association should take a leadership role in bringing together existing and new registries, and if so, how we should go about doing so. |

GSDI Meeting – Geographic Data Commons Roundtable On 19 November 2004, major biological organizations from around the world announced their endorsement of common principles calling for free and open access to conservation information. The effort, known as the Conservation Commons, aims to more effectively connect users of conservation data to the information they need by committing signatories to make some or all of their conservation data available for free and open use. This roundtable will explore the interest of major geographic data organizations in committing themselves to a parallel and complimentary global effort for open access to geographic data to support broad ranging social, economic and scientific purposes. |

Round table for African SDIs Our goal is to share success stories, issues and general information on SDI development with neighbours in a region and across regions. We believe this is the way we all grow and improve locally, nationally, and regionally. One way to share information is through a series of round-table sessions on a regional basis where we each can share our experiences with others and generate interaction with our neighbours. Panel topics We ask the panellists to address one or more of the following questions:
