摘要：The author has been appointed Editor (http://www.isprs.org/structure/editors.html) of International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) for 2000-2004. The author is responsible for compiling the Events Calendar (http://www.isprs.org/calendar.html), which is published in ISPRS Highlights bulletin and placed on the ISPRS home page (http://www.isprs.org). The author has been chairperson of WG VI/4 for 1996-2000, Internet resource for ISPRS, and in that capacity has guided the ISPRS Internet and Web Pages. This Events Calendar was compiled manually by previous editor and contained some incorrect information, or missed some important events. The author has established an automatic system to search and to publish the information of geo-spatial information, photogrammetry, remote sensing, surveying, geomatics, and GIS on the Internet. The Calendar contains a list of all ISPRS and Sister Societies (FIG, ICA, IAG, IHO, IGU, etc.) sponsored and co-sponsored workshops, symposia, tutorials and other meetings. It also contains details of all international and national events on topics related to the activities of geo-spatial information, photogrammetry, remote sensing, geomatics, surveying, mapping, machine vision, image processing and similar areas. The system is using the state-of-the-art technique of searching engine and programming tools for web pages and Internet server. Following software, operating system, programming languages, and programming tools have been used: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Microsoft .NET Web N-tiers, IIS, Microsoft Office XP, Dynamic HTML, XML/SOAP, JAVA Script, VB Script, CGI, ASP, PHP, Delphi, etc. The purpose for this system is to allow Sister Societies to identify open dates or events, which they may link up with or avoid, conflicting with. This avoidance of conflicting with other events externally and definitely internally is a major responsibility of ISPRS. We publish the calendar to encourage other Sister Societies to do likewise. The system searches for relevant events and identifies events, which will be of interest to ISPRS and to other Sister Societies, automatically. It is important to cover events, which are on the interdisciplinary boundaries of ISPRS so that all Commissions and WGs are aware of who and how they can interface with related Sister Societies. The new events and updated events of geo-spatial Information will be compiled immediately, then up-loaded and published on the Internet to keep it up-to-date. The system can be easily modified as a tool to search and to generate geo-spatial information for environmental and resource management on Internet by changing searching keywords, and therefore will deal with collaborative capacity building, education and training, international co-operation and technology transfer in geomatics for environmental and resource management
