[GSDI Technical] FW: Impact of Google Earth and Similar Companies on the Geospatial Industry and Government Programs: A Survey

[Doug Nebert]

From: McLeod, Brian <Brian.McLeod at NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca>
To: Technical Committee <tc at lists.opengeospatial.org>

This survey being conducted by KIM Geomatics on behalf of GeoConnections
may be of interest to the TC. Thanks in advance to all who decide to
participate. GeoConnection will provide the survey results back to the
TC upon completion.

Dear Colleague:

We invite you to participate in the first large scale assessment of the
impact of mass market geomatics/geospatial companies (such as Google
Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth) on government mapping programs and the
traditional geospatial industry. We estimate that it will take about 20
minutes to complete – this is a “top-of-mind” study. We want your
opinions – no research is needed! Most answers only require checking a
box or selecting from a number of alternatives..

The survey can be found on Survey Monkey

We thank you for your expected cooperation.

Regards,

--Brian
