PODS ESRI Spatial Implementation(Houston, TX – March 15, 2008) The APDM and PODS organizations have been working together for over a year to develop a PODS Spatial standard implementation of ESRI’s APDM template. In late September 2007 the PODS ESRI Spatial Sub-committee presented five options along with a recommendation to both the APDM and PODS Associations for approval. Based on the feedback from these meetings and subsequent discussions a consensus between all parties was unable to be reached.On February 21, 2008 twenty-five participants representing the PODS, APDM, and ESRI organizations met to further clarify the issues and as a result a general consensus was reached on a technical plan and way forward for the development of the PODS ESRI Spatial implementation. Both APDM and the PODS Board of Directors have unanimously voted to support the proposed solution for the PODS ESRI Spatial Implementation. The PODS ESRI Spatial Sub-committee is aggressively pursuing the development of the PODS ESRI Spatial implementation with targeted completion by end of 2008. |
