*OGC invites government information system managers to a GeoPackage Webinar*
**
25 February 2014 -- The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) 
<http://www.opengeospatial.org/?utm_source=emailcampaign254&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=HTMLemail&utm_campaign=OGC+invites+government+information+system+managers+to+a+GeoPackage+Webinar> 
and Directions Media 
<http://www.directionsmag.com/?utm_source=emailcampaign254&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=HTMLemail&utm_campaign=OGC+invites+government+information+system+managers+to+a+GeoPackage+Webinar> 
invite government information system managers to attend a free webinar 
<http://www.directionsmag.com/webinars/#382140?utm_source=emailcampaign254&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=HTMLemail&utm_campaign=OGC+invites+government+information+system+managers+to+a+GeoPackage+Webinar> 
on the new OGC GeoPackage Encoding Standard 
<http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/geopackage?utm_source=emailcampaign254&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=HTMLemail&utm_campaign=OGC+invites+government+information+system+managers+to+a+GeoPackage+Webinar>, 
an open standard for accessing spatial data on mobile devices.  The 
webinar, fifth in a series of OGC GovFuture Webinars, will be held on _5 
March 2014 from 11:00 am -- 12:00 pm EST_ (GMT-5:00 hours).
You will learn:
·How GeoPackage APIs increase cross-platform interoperability of 
location apps and spatial Web services in a mobile environment
·About lightweight mobile apps that tap into a mix of powerful 
cloud-based location services and data
·How GeoPackage works in situations where Internet access is 
intermittent or disconnected
·How GeoPackage is useful for applications in mobile workforce data 
capture, providing information during municipal operations, for example, 
or an emergency event
**
The recently approved OGC GeoPackage Encoding Standardenables easier 
exchange and sharing of geospatial (or location) information across 
different devices, applications and web services throughout the mobile 
world. A modern, service-oriented alternative to conventional spatial 
data formats, GeoPackage's SQLite-based format efficiently stores and 
transfers geographic vector features and image tiles. GeoPackage was 
developed for mobile application developers whose applications need to 
provide users with geospatial application services and associated data 
in disconnected or limited network connectivity environments, or whose 
applications depend on geospatial data and processing services from 
diverse sources.
