IntroductionTopographic/ thematic mapping of spatial features orresources on Earth, typically involves: a) project planningincluding choice of standards such as scale, projection,etc.; b) acquiring the imagery of the surface being mapped,c) gathering precise control point positions, d)photogrammetric processing of the remotely sensedimages, e) delineating the features from them, f) visitingthe field for collecting missing information, names offeatures and quality verification, and g) cartographicpresentation of the resulting raster, vector and other textualinformation according to selected referencing schema,map projection & media options.These activities require interactions between differentteams of people from government departments, contractedagencies, geographically separated field parties and endusers. These teams belong to different scientific andengineering disciplines. The interactions among them arebecoming more and more complex due to various reasons,which include a) rapid technology development, b) needfor different types of maps with different content options,c) types of media or online delivery. Traditional ways ofpreparing maps by the governmental mapping agencieshave become less viable for the required terrestrial andcoastal coverage, and to keep the information current,towards meeting the ever increasing end-userrequirements.This phenomenon has led to the development of a newconcept for the preparation of maps, namely thecollaborative mapping. In this collaborative mode ofmapping, the end users, the technology providers, andvarious local bodies work together for the generation anduse of the maps. Collaborative mapping is facilitated bythe use of the latest technological services: a) the InternetGIS, b) satellite based instant navigation andcommunication, c) high resolution remote sensing images,etc. These technologies help in specifying therequirements, collecting and processing the images togenerate the maps, updating them with field informationand delivering them in a short time. Simplistic examplesof this mode of mapping are provided by Google Earthand Wikimapia.Space technology is proving to be a natural partner to thecollaborative mapping. Current day space technology notonly offers remotely sensed images for mapping but alsosupports efficient field data collection, integration andquality verification, involving a sizeable number of teams.Current day requirements on mapping have becomemultifold. These include variety in information content,scales, extents, multi-temporal data sets from hybridsources, as well as dissemination and practicalnavigational map usage by all end users, through theGPS and satellite communication offerings. SpecificallySpace augmented information and communicationtechnologies enable collaboration by different stakeholdersin the process of initial map generation, keeping themcurrent and updated, and using them for differentapplications on the field, be they static or mobile.Keeping these developments in view it is proposed tohold the 28 th INCA International Congress under theumbrella theme of Collaborative Mapping & SpaceTechnology. Seven different themes are proposed to bediscussed each addressing a number of streams withinthem with the objective of providing a common forum tofacilitate interaction among all stakeholders to this issue.Technical ProgrammeThe technical programme consists of the following themes:S1.
