About the Spatial SIG
The North American Oracle Spatial SIG was formed at the 2004 Oracle OpenWorld Conference with the goal of bringing together the family of Oracle Spatial professionals to promote interaction and communication that can drive the market for spatial technology and data in the enterprise. The SIG will address the need to support a sense of community and affiliation among Oracle Spatial users throughout North America. By fostering strategic and technical collaboration between members and Oracle, the SIG's aim is to create forum for the interchange of best practices and technical discussion that will best serve the community as well as provide input to Oracle as to the needs of the users.

About Oracle Spatial
The role of Oracle Spatial in enterprise spatial solutions is dramatically expanding. While the fundamental goal of geographic data storage, retrieval and cross-platform interoperability remains a cornerstone, Oracle Spatial has moved into areas such as management and processing of network, topology, and georaster data. As a fully integrated technology within the Oracle database, Oracle's Spatial functionality is designed to operate seamlessly within Oracle's technology stack, providing a platform to support the delivery of scalable and secure enterprise geospatial applications. A growing number of users continue to apply Oracle Spatial across a spectrum of geospatial applications, for example, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Automated Mapping/Facilities Management (AM/FM), Remote Sensing, Surveying, Location Based Services (LBS) and spatially enabled business systems. Perhaps most significantly, non-map-based enterprise business systems can acquire spatial intelligence though back-end integration with Oracle Spatial.
