Discrete Global Grid Systems:
Matthew Purss, Pangaea Innovations
Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) bring a fundamental re-thinking of how we reference spatial information to its position on the Earth (or any other portion of space) - one that has been designed for the digital age and for efficient, accurate spatial analysis and processing. It's natively 3D and does away with the need for projections entirely.

Web Mapping Service (WMS)
Joan Masó Pau, Cos4Cloud
One of OGC's most popular standards, OGC Web Mapping Service allows users to dynamically request maps from a server. Every OGC WMS is individually configured and can serve a multitude of different maps, combination of layers, and can optionally even be styled with different cartography. WMS SWG Chair Joan Masó Pau will discuss the latest developments in this popular OGC Standard.
