•    Open interfaces: web as a platform for standardization and geo-spatial information exchange;
•    Access to geodata and their availability: public and "private" approaches to the geodata generation and distribution.

Mini-conference program has the following agenda:
•    Opening ceremony and presentations of the speakers at the plenary session;
•    Master-classes of the companies-integrators of the Internet and GIS-markets;
