Better the Devil we Know
Oh, and I nearly forgot – I’ve just posted my paper “Better the Devil we Know: Obstacles and Opportunities in Humanitarian GIS” for all you krazy kids who dig Geographic Information Systems.? It’s an attempt to uncover why GIS has consistently underperformed in the humanitarian sector, and to present a more strategic approach to GIS development in the broadest sense.? Comments are, as ever welcome.
Anybody who’s interested in this topic should visit the site for another project I’m involved with – the creation of a humanitarian GIS data model.? This is in the early stages, but Firoz Verjee of the George Washington University and a bunch of other great people are doing great work here.? You’ll find our worksite at http://www.humanitariangis.com.
