GeoLIS
GeoLIS is the name of a series of GIS - LIS symposia and relevant initiatives that took place between 1986 and 1995 at the Vienna University of Technology . Above all, they aimed at better interdisciplinary cooperation between the 10 or so geosciences involved and led to the founding of AGEO , the Austrian umbrella association for geographic information, and to the "geographic information exchange" in 1990.
The organizers were the institutes for “ Higher Geodesy ” and for “Land Surveying & Geoinformation ” of the TU Vienna, from 1994 in cooperation with the Federal Office for Metrology and Surveying . The initiator and head of GeoLIS I (1986) and GeoLIS II (1989) was the geodesist Gottfried Gerstbach , of GeoLIS III (1994) the geodesist and computer scientist Andre Frank and the BEV president Friedrich Hrbek .
The GeoLIS organization was based on an informal way of working in order not to impair the standardization in the GIS-LIS sector. In addition to the publication of 3 conference volumes and various collaborations between geodesy, geology and geotechnics, it led to the first collection of GIS databases in the German-speaking region (focus on Austria and Bavaria), which was published in 1990 in the form of metadata as the "Geoinformation Exchange".
From 1991 the activities were increasingly incorporated into the Salzburg AGIT (Applied Geo-Information Technology, Symposium and Trade Fair for Applied Geoinformatics), which at that time already took place annually, and ended in 1995 (1 year after GeoLIS-3).
