OPUS (Optimising the Use of Partial Information in Urban and Regional Systems) is a three year European Commission (Eurostat) project that is developing a generic statistical framework for the optimal combination of complex spatial and temporal data from survey and non-survey sources. See www.opus-project.org . It will reach its conclusion in April 2006. The sessions will report on the findings, methodology, metadata framework and tools developed by OPUS and will also include presentations by other specialists involved in Bayesian statistical analysis and data combination.
In the break before and after lunch the OPUS database will be shown
