Dr. Markus Jobst

After being research fellow at the research group cartography at the TUV from 2003 to 2007, Markus Jobst followed a PostDoc research grant at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) at the University of Potsdam in 2008. The HPI takes a European leading position in the development of 3D geovisualization with Service-Oriented Architectures and participates the International standardisation initiatives within the OGC (e.g. City-GML, Web3DServices). Since 2009 Markus Jobst manages the technical coordination during the implementation of the EC directive INSPIRE (2007/2/EC) at the Austrian Federal Office for Metrology and Surveying (BEV). The knowledge provided by the BEV is widely used within the Austrian national coordination body of INSPIRE and the European implementation together with the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission (EC). Actual research activities of Markus Jobst in the areas of Service-Oriented Architectures and efficient geovisualisation can be transmitted as lecturer at the TUV and the HPI of the University of Potsdam. Since 2011 Markus Jobst tries to document the impact of paradigm change in map production and geobusiness within a network of experiences and use-cases as Vice-Chair of the Commission on Map Production and GeoBusiness of the International Cartographic Association (www.icaci.org).
