The future of ground data sharing: challenges and opportunities
John Greenfield, Sven Thorin, Gretchen Darras, Phil Davies, Tim Thompson, James Searle and Sam Mirlatifi
The panel is formed of ground data management experts from government, consultancy and the construction industry.
The evening will start with short talks by the expert panel on relevant topics and then the audience will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and raise their questions to the panel.
Some of the topics for discussion include: Why share ground data? Are any incentives required? Is new legislation required? What are the tools at our disposal? What do other countries/states do? What are the biggest challenges to sharing ground data? Where should the data sit? Can the data be relied upon?
