I do not have a Web GIS course, but I think my students would benefit from this idea

Subject: [Ica-osgeo-labs] Good overview reading on GIS open software and data standards?... and a GeoForAll webinar idea

Hi GeoForAll colleagues:

1) I've been looking for a good *overview* paper on open standards for data and GIST software.
OGC has a paper by Khalsa and Percivall [1] listed that looks very useful. Does anyone know of any others?

2) We are starting to design a Web-GIS course to be offered in Spring 2016. One idea I have is that we hold some GeoForAll speaker webinars, but we try to link them to courses some of the faculty in our network are teaching concurrently. So, for example, we provide a overview reading (like the one above), have students read it, and then have a webinar by a knowledgeable speaker (or paper author, perhaps). We could record these talks for future reference in courses.

Would there be others interested in this for Spring 2016?
Would there be someone in our network who might be willing to do this around the topic of open geo standards?

Cheers,
Charlie Schweik
