In geo-spatial information system building and operation, metadata is one of the crucial factors. Therefore, international and domestic organizations or associations for standardization have developed and distributed geo-based standard metadata to meet public demands. However, because metadata is composed of complicated elements and needs XML storage and management, individual organization which implement and operate practical application system is inclined to define and use its own metadata specifications. In this study, metadata extraction program, that metadata elements are directly extracted from geo-based file formats was developed to easily utilize standard metadata such as ISO/TC 19115, TTAS.KO-10.0139 and TTAS.IS-19115, and those elements are processed into XML. Furthermore, geo-based images sets are applied to another metadata of ISO/TC 19115-2. As well, metadata transformation is needed due to inconsistent or non-corresponding definition among standard metadata; in this program, transformation modules are also implemented to interoperable uses between standard metadata specifications. Widely used data formats are dealt with in this program, but extension for other formats and other metadata specifications is possible, and it is expected that availability of standard metadata is increased, through this kind of development.

The objective of this study is to compare flood inundation models for small stream basin. HEC-RAS model was used for the analysis of one dimensional hydraulics and HEC-GeoRAS, Ras Mapper and RiverCAD models were applied for the flood inundation analysis in Gum Chung stream. Flood inundations are to simulate by flood inundation models using observed data and rainfall on each frequency and to compare with inundation area based on the flood plain maps. The results of this study are as follows; Area of flood inundations by HEC-GeoRAS model is similar to that of flood plain map and appears in order of RAS Mapper and RiverCAD model. Flood inundation area by RiverCAD model is to estimate lager than that of RAS Mapper and HEC-GeoRAS model in flood area on each frequency and the results show that they have a little difference in models of flood inundation analysis at small stream. Comparing the area of flood inundations by flood depth, the results of three models are relatively similar in flood depth as 2.0 m below, and RiverCAD model shows a significant difference in flood depth as 2.0 m or more.

The convergence industry is a combination of technologies or industries of the same type or various types, thereby maintaining and/or expanding the existing values or creating fresh values. As the industry is drawing greater attention over the world, each country is making huge efforts to provide support for it. GeoSpatial Information is a representative convergence industry characterized by being utilized as a basis for other industrial fields by being linked and fused with other industries and technologies. It is well recognized as being a promising industry that will likely lead the national economy in the future. GeoSpatial Information is necessary to analyze the distinctive features and obstacle factors of the convergence industry. Because it will be able to induce a smooth convergence among different industries. In this paper, we has segmented the support elements through a comparative analysis of the legal system related to (Nano Technology, Information and Communication Technology, Culture Technology, etc)the convergence industry. Based on this proposed policy support for GeoSpatial Information Convergence industry. We expect that this study will be used as basic data of the policy established to effectively support for the GeoSpatial Information convergence industry.

By the rapid development of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Geo-spatial Technology (GT) and the increased usage of spatial data for planning and infrastructure management, the National Geographic Information System (NGIS) for more efficient and effective utilization of spatial information has been developed by the central government in Korea since 1995. NGIS is the base of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). SDI is developed as one of National Information Infrastructures (NII). Among the hierarchy of SDI, National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) has very important role in the success of SDI development. Many research articles show that the USA's NSDI initiatives, development strategy have been strongly influenced all over the world. In these viewpoints, to propose the future directions of Korean NGIS, the development of NSDI strategy of USA is reviewed by literature through published book and internet resources. The conclusions of this study are as follow: 1) top-down and bottom-up approach are needed for integrated data sharing and standardization. 2) the creative and evolutionary vision and strategy has to be suggested. 3) the training program and lecture material has to be developed and diffused to the users and providers of spatial data. 4) governance system has to be built for NSDI evaluation. 5) the formation of geo-spatial forum to discuss the spatial-related problems and make research agenda, etc.

In this paper, the applicability and usefulness of windprofiler input data were investigated to generate three dimensional wind field. A logical diagnostic model CALMET with windprofiler data at ten sites and with weather forecasting model WRF output was evaluated by statistically comparing with the radiosonde data at eight sites. The horizontal wind speed from CALMET simulated with hourly windprofiler data is in good agreement with radiosonde observations within 1.5 m/s of the root mean square error, especially local circulation of wind such as sea breeze over the coastal region. The root mean square error of wind direction ranged $50^{\circ}{\sim}70^{\circ}$ is due to the wind direction error from the windprofiler polluted by ground clutters. Since the exact wind can be produced quickly and accurately in most of the altitude with windprofiler data on CALMET, we expect the method presented in this study to be useful for the monitoring of safe environment as well as weather in the coastal zone.

In the correlation formulas related to consolidation proposed at present, the analyzed areas are limited to certain overseas or domestic areas and in order to increase the number of data, experimental data of different areas are integrated and therefore in many cases application is difficult. In addition, models have been developed without clear statistic evaluation of the obtained data. Accordingly, this study divided the soft areas of the west coast into Hangang, Kumgang and Yeongsangang in order to maximally reduce uncertainty of the experimental data and performed normality test and regression analysis on the physical and dynamic characteristics. According to the analysis result, the compression index and the modified compression index had strong linearity and in all areas modified compression index and initial void ratio had closest correlation, followed by total unit weight, water contents and liquid limits. As for overconsolidation ratio with depth, the width of overconsolidation ratio was large when the depth was less than 5 to 6 m in all areas and when the depth was over 5 to 6 m, the ratio was constant.

A study was conducted in the Hong Kong with the aim of deriving an algorithm for the retrieval of suspended sediment (SS) and sea surface salinity (SSS) concentrations from Aqua/MODIS level 1B reflectance data with 250m and 500m spatial resolutions. 'In-situ' measurements of SS and SSS were also compared with coincident MODIS spectral reflectance measurements over the ocean surface. This is the first study of SSS modeling in Southeast Asia using earth observation satellite images. Three analysis techniques such as multiple regression, linear regression, and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed on the MODIS data and the 'in-situ' measurement datasets of the SS and SSS. Correlation coefficients by each analysis method shows that the best correlation results are multiple regression from the 500m spatial resolution MODIS images, $R^2$= 0.82 for SS and $R^2$ = 0.81 for SSS. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between satellite and 'in-situ' data are 0.92mg/L for SS and 1.63psu for SSS, respectively. These suggest that 500m spatial resolution MODIS data are suitable for water quality modeling in the study area. Furthermore, the application of these models to MODIS images of the Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta (PRO) Region are able to accurately reproduce the spatial distribution map of the high turbidity with realistic SS concentrations.

It is possible to extract qualified ground control points (GCPs) from SAR data itself without published maps. TerraSAR-X data that are one of highest spatial resolution among civilian SAR systems is now available. In this study, a sophisticated method for GCP extraction from TerraSAR-X data was tested and the quality of the extracted GCPs was evaluated. Mean values of the distance errors were 0.11m and -3.96 m with standard deviations of 6.52 m and 5.11 m in easting and northing, respectively. The result is one of the best among GCPs possibly extracted from any civilian remote sensing systems. The extracted GCPs were used for geo-rectification of IKONOS image. The method used in this study can be applied to KOMPSAT-5 for geo-rectification of high-resolution optic images acquired by KOMPSAT-2 or follow-up missions.

"The "Map Algebra", beeing recognized as a viable theoretical framework for GIS (Geographica Infonnation System), models map layers as "operands" which are the basic unit of geo-processing, and a variety of GIS commands as "operators." In this paper, we attempt at lifting some limitations of map algebras proposed in GIS literature. First, we model map layer as "function" such that we may employ the notion of meta operator (or, higher-order funtion) available in the functional programming paradigm. This approach provides map algebraic language with "programmability" needed in GIS user language. Second, we extend the semantics of, and improve on the sytactic structure of map algebraic language. Mer the data model and language associated with map algebra are formalized, we proceed to design and implement a prototype of map algebraic processor. The parser of the language in our prototype plays the role of transforming the native and heterogeneous user language of current GISs into a canonical map algebraic language. The prototype, named "MapSee" is a proof-of-concept system for the ideas we propsed in this paper. We believe that the uniform interface based on the map algebraic language will make promising infrastructure to support "Internet GIS." This is because the uniform but powerful interface through the Web clients allow access to both geo-data and geo-processing resources distributed over the network.to both geo-data and geo-processing resources distributed over the network.
