December 2008: Volume 13 Issue 4
EDINA has recently begun its part in the European Spatial Data Infrastructure Network project, helping to develop a best practice network and to evaluate the theory of integrating national Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs).
EDINA is involved in a number of work packages relating to technical architecture: for example, metadata, data quality control, data schemas transformation and interoperability services. EDINA will contribute experience gained during the EuroGlobalMap (EGM) pilot and its wider experience of providing geographic information into the tertiary academic sector, as well as bringing European academic users to the ESDIN.
ESDIN is under the leadership of EuroGeographic, which represents 52 national mapping and cadastral agencies from 43 countries across Europe.
