<p><b>Open Source users now have easy access to raster imagery in
Oracle Database. At the same time, companies that manage imagery in
Oracle Spatial can now gain increased benefit from Open Source software
tools, such as GDAL, Map Server, QGIS and others. Join this webinar to
learn how these tools can apply to your workflow.<br></b></p>
<p>The GDAL Library for Oracle Spatial GeoRaster supports translation
between Oracle Spatial GeoRaster format and all other GDAL-supported
formats. GDAL, the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library, is a translator
library for raster geospatial data formats that is released under an
open source license by the Open Source Geospatial
Foundation.<b><br><br></b>The GeoRaster support in Oracle Spatial
addresses the data management needs of broad application groups
including remote sensing, photogrammetry, GIS and geosciences
applications, business applications, and image and gridded raster data
repositories and clearinghouses. This is in addition to the many
geospatial data management and analysis capabilities that make Oracle
Spatial the premier platform for enterprise geospatial data management
and location intelligence.<br></p>
<p>Speakers include <b>Ivan Lucena of Geospatial Software Integration
LLC</b>, who developed the open source GDAL support for Oracle Spatial
GeoRaster, and <b>Bruce Thelen from First American Spatial
Solutions</b>, who<b> </b>will describe how the company uses Oracle
Spatial to manage ParcelPoint, the nation's largest commercial land
parcel boundary database, including the use of GDAL and GeoRaster
imagery. <br></p>
<p><b>Who Should Attend<br></b></p>
<p>Oracle Spatial users, IT professionals and geospatial practitioners
interested in using Open Source tools to work with GeoRaster imagery in
Oracle Database.<br></p><i><i></i></i></td>
