With the evolution of technologies for three-dimensional data acquisition, data handling and data representation, the future for three-dimensional geodata has already begun.

Three-dimensional City, Landscape and Terrain models are new or used differently than before. Whereas small size projects typically may start from scratch, this is currently unfeasible for country-wide models. Here existing 2D (cartographic) data has to be taken into account in order to derive valuable three-dimensional information.

The conference deals with the opportunities and challenges of

* Migrating 2D cartographic data to 3D topographic data
* Fusion of 2D and 3D data
* Positional accuracy improvement
* Definition of 3D country-wide models
