A session on the International Polar Year (IPY) will be held at the 5th
International Symposium on Digital Earth on 5-9 June 2007, in San
Francisco, California.
Digital Earth is the label given to a visionary concept, made popular in
1998 by U.S. Vice President Al Gore, for describing an online, virtual
representation of the Earth that is spatially referenced and
interconnected with the world's digital knowledge archives. The vision
embraces a philosophy that any citizen of the planet, linked through the
Internet, should be able to freely access a virtual world of information
and knowledge resources.
Presentations and/or papers are invited for the IPY session on themes
such as science, public policy, data management, and education involving
any use of technology related to the Digital Earth vision, including
websites, GIS, streaming video, or virtual globes like Google Earth.
Abstracts should be submitted no later than Thursday, 15 February 2007,
via the conference website:
http://www.isde5.org
Selected papers will be considered for the premier edition of the
peer-reviewed International Journal for Digital Earth.
