CIG OTTAWA BRANCH - STUDENT AWARD NIGHT CIG OTTAWA BRANCH GOLF TOURNAMENT See announcement and map for further details CIG Ottawa Branch Presents Datum Issues Theoretical and Practical With the current push towards integrated surveys, issues concerning Datums
and Reference Frames come to the forefront as never before. NAD27, NAD83, NAD83(CSRS),
ITRF, WGS84, local datums, CGVD28 published elevation vs GPS/Geoid models.
Confusing enough? This talk aims at setting the story straight on horizontal
and vertical datums. It will also present some little-known but serious shortcomings
in today's GPS equipment, techniques and standards and the resulting practical
implications for GPS users.

Cybercartography in the context of contemporary mapping
The world of maps and mapping is being rapidly transformed. Recent technological developments have brought maps into the daily life of societies all over the world in unprecedented ways. The entire domain of mapmaking is experiencing a profound change in the way maps (re)produce territories. This change is the result of developments in industry, the open source community, community based initiatives as well as in academia, science and art. Cybercartography aims to capture and build on this diversity and to further explore the changing nature of maps. In January 2003 a multidisciplinary research team at Carleton University in Ottawa began to further develop a foundational paradigm for cybercartography. This paradigm will be presented and discussed, illustrated by examples developed in the context of the Cybercartography and the New Economy project.

Presents / Présente A brief outline of how military maps were made in WWII by the Royal Canadian Engineers, 1st Canadian Corps Field Survey Company. The subject matter is from memory and the thankful blessing that details of the day were documented by Senior Officers. Ted remembers: They were all hand-drawn maps. Our unit did 450 of them as we made our way to Holland. We had trucks set up with printing presses in the back of them, to get the maps out to the field commanders as quick as possible. You could tell, by what they wanted printed as a map, where the next battles would be taking place. We were never far behind them. (quote from Ron Corbett’s Ottawa Citizen article, May 12th 2003) La présentation décrit brièvement comment les cartes étaient produites pendant la II-ième Guerre Mondiale par la Compagnie de levés d'arpentage du 1er Corps canadien, Génie royal militaire canadien. Un sujet intéressant décrit à partir des souvenirs de l’auteur et grâce aux détails documentés par les officiers supérieurs. Ted se rappèle : ‘Toutes les cartes étaient désignées à la main. Notre unité a fait 450 pendant la campagne de Hollande. Nous avions des presses installées dans des camions. Il fallait livrer les cartes le plus vite possible aux commandants sur le front. Nous n’étions jamais trop loin d’eux. On pouvait deviner ou sera la prochaine bataille d’après les cartes imprimées.’ (article de Ron Corbett, Ottawa Citizen, 12 mai 2003)
