Call for papers for a special issue of the International Journal of
Cartography on:

The role of spatial data infrastructures, standards, open data and open
source software in mapping

Ever-increasing volumes of geographic information pose challenges for
making geographic information available and usable in maps. In celebration
of the International Cartographic Association’s International Map Year
2015/16, we invite original research contributions on the role of spatial
data infrastructures (SDI), standards, open data and open source software
in mapping for a special issue of the International Journal of Cartography.

The discovery, access, exchange and sharing of geographic information and
services among stakeholders from different levels in the spatial data
community is facilitated through a SDI. Standards are key for the quality
and development of interoperable geographic information and geospatial
software. The drive for access to geographic information has led to its
publication as open data, i.e. freely available to everyone to use and
republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or
other mechanisms of control. According to a report by the United Nations
Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM),
the use of open source software solutions is likely to increase
significantly in the future as a viable alternative to proprietary
suppliers. Open source software for geospatial, geographic information
standards and open data policies are therefore significant for SDI
development and implementation.

This special issue follows on SDI-Open 2015, a pre-conferenece workshop of
the 27th International Cartographic Conference, titled Spatial data
infrastructures, standards, open source and open data for geospatial
(SDI-Open 2015), which was jointly organized by the Commission on
Geoinformation Infrastructures and Standards, the Commission on Open Source
Geospatial Technologies and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) on 20 and
21 August at the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. While workshop presenters will be invited to submit
expanded versions of the extended abstracts presented at SDI-Open 2015, the
call is now open to all researchers. Please follow the journal’s
instructions for authors (
http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/est/tica-cfp-2015).

Important dates
Call for papers opens:          14 December 2015
Paper submission:                       1 March 2016
Notification of acceptance:     1 June 2016
