Abstract

Geo-enabling the Catholic Church
Track: Geodesign
Authors: Molly Burhans

The Catholic Geographic System (CGS) is laying the foundation for mapping and geo-enabling one of the largest and oldest institutes in the world, the Catholic Church. It's goal is to use this increased geographic understanding in order to leverage the Catholic Church's land and facilities usage for positive environmental and social change. CGS will present some of their maps, including the first digital maps of ecclesiastical jurisdictions in history and a blueprint for a GeoHub for the Vatican.
