About
What this is supposed to be
This is a weblog on geospatial information science. You might know GIS as the acronym for geographic information systems - however, we have adopted it a bit for our purpose, since a) we are not geographers, and b) we do not want to reduce this to systems. Instead, we will use this blog to collect everything related to spatial information that appears interesting to us.
Who we are
gisblog.net is run by these guys:
My name is Theodor Foerster and I am a PhD candidate (AIO) at the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) since December 2005. My phd-thesis is about context-sensitive generalization in a web-environment. Before december 2005 I worked at the Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi) as a research associate for the EU-funded BALANCE project. I received my geoinformatics diploma in Januray 2005 for my research on conflation of spatial adjacent datasets.
My name is Carsten Keßler. I live in Münster, Germany and I work for the Insitute for Geoinformatics, University of Münster, where I also got my diploma in Geoinformatics in 2004. I am currently working on my PhD thesis on context modeling for semantics-based geographic information retrieval. For more information on my work, see my ifgi website. You might also want to have a look at my personal website (in German).
The second active member of the Institute of Geoinformatics is me, Patrick Maué. I am currently (Mai 2006) writing on my master thesis, which discusses catalogs for semantic-enabled geospatial web services. I am also keen on the semantic web with all its flavors, robotics, and everything else which is just too exciting to be not talked about.
