Dimensions in Spatial ETL: Safe Software's FME User Conference 2008

challenges are geographic, to be sure, but the conference was really
about integration - integration of data, platforms, services, levels
of
government, etc. Adena Schutzberg reports.
1Spatial
Conference 2008 aims to be the year's premier event
focused on the transformation, management and quality control of
spatial data. Based around the theme of ‘1 Source of Truth' the
conference will highlight the topics of Spatial Data Quality, Spatial
Data Infrastructures and CAD to GIS convergence
