Government of Mongolia has approved the Master Plan for Medium Term Development of Mongolian Auto Road Network worked out in the framework of technical assistance from Asian Development Bank in 1994. Measures are being taken to implement it with local and foreign investment. In connection with this project the State Administration of Geodesy and Cartography of Mongolia has started from this year to develop spatial infrastructure database. Nairobi, Kenya, 2–5 October 2001 http://www.apdip.net/ In February, the Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme (APDIP) launched the International Open Source Network (IOSN) to serve as a center of excellence on open source technologies and applications. Its objectives are to aid countries in sharing information on open source (OS), assist with the development of needed toolkits and resource materials, support "localization" efforts, and help facilitate and coordinate OS programs and initiatives through networking. The network's Web site is already operational at www.iosn.net.

In his report Ayon Tarafda Assistant Editor GIS Development: [email protected] points out to the following -What exactly is the cost we are looking at when we talk of NSDI? Or in other words, how do we think of the revenue or expenditure model when we want to implement an NSD? One has to clearly keep ni mind who’s need are we addressing. Is it the common man or the service sector or the government? Does it already exist? An important mention of the day was the existence of the NSDP – national statistical data page, in India. http://www.gisdevelopment.net/events/reports/2003/NSDIDay2_3.htm National Spatial Data Infrastructure, India, 3rd International Workshop Day 2 - 3 Report, 13th - 14th November 2003, Agra, India NSDI – Another Taj in making Ayon Tarafda Assistant Editor GIS Development: [email protected] The second day started with an important session that aimed at tapping the user's perspective of NSDI. Similarly there was another session – session 4 at the end – that aimed at involving the (prospective and existent) data generators perspective. In between there were two important sessions of OGC that can be termed as very significant conceptual and factual inputs that can be used or learnt from, for execution aspects of NSDI. The third day was short and had the important Agra Communiqué agreed upon after 3 hours of debate and deliberations. http://www.survey.ntua.gr/main/labs/photo/research/wg_33/wpla/papers/NP.2.Babu Ram Acharya.doc Spatial Information Management for Sustainable Real Estate Market - best practice guidelines on nation- wide Land Administration Workshop organized by the UN/ECE-WPLA and FIG commission 3 & 7, the Technical chamber of Greece (TCG) and the Hellenic Association of Rural and Surveying Engineers (HARSE) - Athens, Greece, 28-31 May 2003 Abstract: Land is a basic resource of livelihood for almost eighty percent of the population in Nepal. Population growth, lack of physical infrastructure, scattered small sized land parcels and haphazard subsistence farming practices have resulted low productivity and food deficit in on hand. Where as on the other hand high rate of migration from hilly region to urban and plain fertile land (Terai land) has created unplanned settlement and unhealthy real estate market. This imbalance and unplanned land use has directed towards deterioration of natural setup. The land records (cadastre) for land administration is based on graphical "cadastral maps" with general boundary principle and "deeds registration system". It has been realized that this traditional cadastre base could not fulfil the social demands in modern days. Therefore, Spatial Information Systems (Land Information System and Geographical Information Infrastructure Programs) are initiated recently in Nepal. http://www.teamgeomedia.com/orl/researchprofile.asp?id=49 Interactive Web-based South Pacific GIS Atlas. The GIS Unit is now ready to create an up-to-date, interactive and re- designed South Pacific Web Atlas. Intergraph products such as GeoMedia Professional, Geomedia WebMap Professional, and Web Publisher will be used for the atlas production and design. In an interactive environment, the atlas will be composed of a series of maps and data profiles, which will be based on legend entries, queries, hot spots and cartographic tools. http://www.ga.gov.au/about/corporate/ausgeo_news.jsp AusGeo News is Geoscience Australia's quarterly magazine published in March, June, September and December. AusGeo News is produced in hard copy and posted on the web as a pdf. Subscriptions to AusGeo News are free. As well as announcing new Geoscience Australia products, AusGeo News features brief articles on progress in Geoscience Australia's programs; announces new program initiatives; and advertises geoscientific conferences, symposia, seminars and workshops. SDI-AP Newsletter - 2 - Vol. 2, No. 1 Spatial Data Infrastructure - Asia and the Pacific Newsletter http://www.usp.ac.fj/~gisunit/ The University of the South Pacific (USP) GIS Unit has a brand new, extensive GIS and remote sensing laboratory through which students learn the operations of GIS & remote sensing. University of the South Pacific [Team GeoMedia Register Research Laboratory (RRL)] http://www.capam.comnet.mt/Docs/IIA2002/submissions/2%20SILVER%20BHOOMI%20Land%20registry%20India.p df 'Bhoomi' Online Delivery of Land Records in Karnataka (India). The Bhoomi E-Governance project computerized all 20 million land records of 6.7 million land owners in 176 taluks of Karnataka State in India. It also allows printout of land records on demand (e.g, by farmers). This system works with the software called "Bhoomi" designed developed by the National Informatics Center, Bangalore. It permits online updating of land records making it radically different from land records systems attempted elsewhere in India, which update databases in offline model making it less current and therefore of less use. While the project is largely funded by Government of India; some critical components of this project are funded by State Government. The project also resulted in the first online kiosk in India. It has been the recipient of the Silver Award at the CAPAM Awards 2002. The project also appears likely to be replicated in other areas.

    Free and Open Source Software Asia-Pacific (FOSSAP) Consultation 9 – 11 February 2004, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Localization of FOSS Sarmad Hussain Pakistan International Open Source Network (IOSN) An Initiative of UNDP's Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme http://www.iosn.net Localization of FOSS Dr. Sarmad Hussain Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Pakistan [email protected] 1. Background Information has now become such an integral part of our society, that its access is considered a basic human right. Moreover, development of rural and urban developing populations is also getting increasingly dependent upon access to information. This is specifically applicable to Asia which houses the largest developing population. 32 out of 50 Asian countries are considered to be under- developed, having annual per capita income of less than $500. Access to information is thus critical for these countries. Asians form about 61% of the world population and since 2001 they have also become the largest group of Internet users. Currently, 173 million Asians use the internet, which is 27% of the total internet users across the globe. However, these users form only about 4.5 % of the total Asian population, which shows that there is enormous potential for Internet usage in Asia. In addition to being most populous, Asia is also the most culturally and linguistically diverse region of the world. There are 2197 languages spoken in Asia, which is the largest number of languages spoken in any one region. Only about 20% of these people can communicate in English.

  • Building Online Communities of Practice: the International Open
    Building Online Communities of Practice The International Open Source Network Model APDIP e-Note 5 / 2005 Summary Communities of practice (CoPs) bring together like-minded individuals and/or organizations with a common purpose. They foster learning through information sharing. Content and interactions are at the heart of any CoP. It is important that the coordinator and/or facilitator of the community keep members informed about relevant content and activities happening within the specific area of interest. At the same time, there needs to be multiple opportunities for members to contribute and share information and experiences in the community. Inside Story This APDIP e-Note describes how one CoP, the International Open Source Network What is a CoP and why is (IOSN) is focused on promoting the strategic use of free/open source software (FOSS) it important? solutions for sustainable human development.
