The role of the National Mapping & Cadastre Agencies
• From data providers to facilitators of data integration & access within an SDI
• Definitive, reliable & high quality ‘reference’ data that underpins the SDI
• Building effective partnerships to make the European SDI a reality!

GMES
• European capacity for provision and use of operational information for
“Global Monitoring for Environment and Security”
• Europe’s contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of
Systems
• Aim to launch 3 operational Fast Track Services during 2008:
Land, Emergency and Marine
• GMES must leverage and complement existing infrastructure,
experience and investment

……………………… BIG ambition
To achieve ‘interoperability’ of the Members’ national land and
geographic information assets ………….
……….. to provide Europe with an information asset that will
enable it to become the most competitive and sustainable
economy in the world.

Supporting GMES
• Integrating “in situ” data
• Emergency – NMCAs can provide current data for
accurate pre-disaster situation maps.
• Land – NMCA data can be used to create or validate
(land cover and land use) products.
