EUROGI European umbrella organisation for GI.
Set up by the EC DGXIII in November 1993.
European Foundation with headquarters in The Netherlands.
EUROGI is an association of associations with one national
member from each country (18 so far)
Pan-European organisations can also be associate members (but
no voting rights) (1 so far).
Members pay annual fee to cover Secretariat and Executive
Committee.

EUROGI Objectives
Implement European geographic Information Infrastructure (EGII)
Raise awareness of value of GI
Encourage greater use of GI data through:– improved availability and access– removal of legal and economic restraints– promote the use of standards
Represent Europe in GSDI
Help develop strong national GI organisations especially in Central
and Eastern Europe.

GI2000 EuroGI are trying to set up an activity called GI2000
– To create a policy framework for ESDI– To set-up a high level working group to co-ordinate national activities
Started in 1994 to lobby the European Commission (EC)
In 1995 drafted a EGI Policy Consultation Document
By 1999, was about to be endorsed by the EC - but then
all the commissioners resigned
new commissioners have failed to put GI2000 on their
agenda for immediate action

Workshop, WGISS 10, Canberra - Wyn Cudlip 9/5/00
NGDF in the UK Led by Ordnance Survey but many other organisations involved
Aims to: improve knowledge and access to information
– Create a NGDF Gateway to provide a central point of access over the Internet to
a wide variety of information (metadata) about spatially related data owned by
public and private sector organisations.
improve consistency of data
– Establish a UK Standard Geographic Base. The UKSGB will provide a single,
easy to use and definite source of information about commonly used geographic
units and the key datasets that support these units.
encourage the use of standards

Specific EC Projects: DISGIS
A DIStributed interoperable framework for GIS
EC Espirit project, 1996-1999
DISGIS Interoperability Reference Model based on ISO RM-ODP
ODP Methodology using UML and XML
demonstrated a portable/interoperable feature layer that can be
placed on top of different geodata servers.

CommonGIS
Common access to geographically referenced data
EC Espirit project started in November 1998
Aims to facilitate dissemination and exploitation of geo-data
to/by broad cross-section of public
emphasis of access to statistical data
Developing improved user interface – enhancing browser with JAVA applets

Conclusions
European activities are still divided along national lines - but co-ordinated through EUROGI.
Have been some attempts to create an European policy framework - without success so far.
A number of specific European projects are working towards a standard spatial data framework
