The International Symposium on Spatial Data Quality will be held
at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University from 18th to 20th July 1999.
This is the first international symposium on spatial data quality to
be held in Asia. The Symposium provides an interdisciplinary forum
for leading scientists and young researchers to present their latest
research developments and share their experience in this field. The
Symposium will include keynote speeches and plenary sessions. The
Symposium will be preceded by a one-day workshop on three aspects
of spatial data quality.
