About this Meetup:
Geodata services have become a vital part of our daily mobile lives/life.
Looking up places and routes, time-tables for public transport, hiking
trails, ski slopes, and all kinds of points-of-interest has become self-
evident for internet and smart-phone users. Because there is a myriad of
possibilities and use-cases where geodata supports people in their daily
tasks, the importance of free and open geodata is not to be underestimated.
In this meetup - which is again taking place in Graz, on the eve of the I-
Semantics and I-Know conferences - we will hear highly interesting talks
about open geodata projects and how semantic technology and the Linked Open
Data principle can be used to enhance geodata for next-generation services.
