Policy and organisational framework for GSDI
17 Listopada 1998 - 17 Listopada 1998
Australia
The third international Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI) conference will be held in Canberra, Australia, from 17 to 19 November 1998. The conference will take place under the patronage of the European Commissioner for industrial affairs, information technologies and telecommunications, Mr Martin Bangemann, and the US Secretary of the Interior, Mr Bruce Babbitt.
The conference will follow up issues discussed during the previous GSDI meetings held in Germany (1996) and the USA (1997). It will bring together senior executives from national surveying and mapping, defence geomatics, land administration and environmental management organisations to discuss issues related to promoting the coherent growth of the world's spatial data infrastructure.
The overall aim of the initiative is to address non-technical problems related to accessing geospatial datasets which have arisen between organisations and countries. These problems, which are of a political, operational or institutional nature, hamper the ready application of these datasets to global problems such as resource management, sustainable development and transportation issues.
The themes for this year's conference relate specifically to a policy and organisational framework for a GSDI and cover the following:
- The first generation of national geographic information strategies;
- New developments in national spatial data infrastructures;
- GSDI initiatives;
- Towards a GSDI framework.
A series of break-out discussions will examine and develop alternative operational, institutional, political and technical strategies to ensure the coherent growth of transnational and global spatial infrastructures in order to maximise their benefits to society.
