Papers from the first annual #IGGC posted under the agenda ow.ly/8TDeZ

Updates to ArcGIS Online include geocoding and routing services using NAVTEQ reference data - learn more at the AGO blog...

RT @mudmo: Report on the Geocoding Conference via Directions Magazine ow.ly/8i5nq #IGGC #Esri

RT @Mark_Cygan: RT @SiAction: Excellent panel assembled for intnl #geocoding conf 150 yrs of experience #esri #iggc

See you soon - Addressing and Beyond! #IGGC

Thanks to sponsors Esri, USC, NAVTEQ, CDC and conference coordinators Daniel Goldberg and Amy Thorson for this year's excellent event. #IGGC

Paper award winners: Paul Zandbergen (2nd), Dr. Geoffrey Jacquez (st) be sure to check them out online or in the journal. #IGGC

Travel scholarships given to 10 proud recipients - congratulations! #IGGC

Next year ideas: 'Geocoding Meetup'; international; commercial use?; geocode web; privatization and constraints; routing, indoors #IGGC

Take away: Need for a global standard and best practices to breed innovation in geocoding #IGGC

Panel - Great discussion on why even use addresses? Using sensors, why not just use a lat lon or other measurement? #IGGC

Regional and Granularity Differences in Geocoding::Even global data needs local knowledge, value in temporal data, need to share #IGGC

Summary for VGI: we don't know enough yet, but opportunities include surveillance, knowledge discovery, data mining. Need use cases #IGGC

Summary for Address Management and Standardization: No standard exists. Need quality reference data and web tool for validation #IGGC

First summary: Data Confidentiality and Ethics - one word: spatiocryptography #IGGC

Lots of great breakouts happening now at #IGGC. Summary Reports at 3:30.

Kevin Henry, U of Utah - to impute or not to impute? Better to get closer geographically with this method if you have NO geocodes. #IGGC

Paul Zandbergen, U of New Mexico - intriguing concepts for spatial masking to protect privacy, even from reverse geocoding. #IGGC

Stephanie Foster, CDC: We can't be afraid to report on geocoded data or we won't make quantum leap to better data #IGGC
