| CASA: Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London | Link |
The Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis is a (CASA) is an initiative within University College London to develop emerging computer technologies in several disciplines which deal with geography, space, location, and the built environment. As an interdisciplinary research centre expertise is drawn from archaeology, architecture, cartography, computer science, environmental science, geography, planning, remote sensing, geomatic engineering, and transport studies. |
| Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science (CSISS) | Link |
The CSISS Mission recognizes the growing significance of space, spatiality, location, and place in social science research. It seeks to develop unrestricted access to tools and perspectives that will advance the spatial analytic capabilities of researchers throughout the social sciences. CSISS was funded in 1999 with support from the National Science Foundation under its program to promote research infrastructure in the social and behavioral sciences. |
| Cognitive Systems Research Group at Universität Bremen | Link |
The Cognitive Systems Research Group at Universität Bremen investigates issues of knowledge representation, reasoning, and communication from an interdisciplinary cognitive science research perspective. The focus of the research is in the area of spatial cognition. The scope of the research spans theoretical work in knowledge representation and formal reasoning, the development and implementation of spatio-temporal cognitive models in virtual and real environments, and empirical studies in the interaction of human and artificial cognitive agents. |
| National Geospatial Program |
The National Geospatial Program provides leadership for USGS geospatial coordination, production and service activities. The Program engages partners to develop standards and produce consistent and accurate data through its Geospatial Liaison Network. Operational support is provided by the National Geospatial Technical Operations Center. These and other Program activities that are essential to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) are managed as a unified portfolio that benefits geospatial information users throughout the Nation. |

| Research on Place and Space | Link |
Bruce B. Janz, Associate Professor of Humanities in the Department of Philosophy at University of Central Florida has assembled a remarkable portal to resources on the concepts of place and space From the site introduction: These pages pull together work on the concept of place from a wide range of disciplines. The term "place" does not necessarily have the same implications or meanings in the different disciplines. Furthermore, other terms are sometimes used in place of place, such as home, dwelling, milieu, territory, and of course, space. None of these, though, are necessarily equivalent to the notion of place. The purpose of this set of resources is to try to cross-pollinate the notion of place across disciplines. Philosophy, for example (my... |
