EUROGI has recently published an open letter, which has identified some of the major questions we need to be addressed, the debate about which should lead to the identification of a strategy to guide those who have the responsibility in the development of standards so that relevant and sensible ones can be brought to the market in timely fashion and be used. c. Role of the Private/Public Sectors A debate has started in many National arenas with regard to the respective roles of the public and private sectors with regard to GI. This is an important issue with many different shades of opinion held in different countries by a wide range of organisations involved. EUROGI will © support and’ facilitate ' this debate but it is clear that some form of partnership between the relevant sectors will be crucial to effective developments. d. Data Availability This is one of the key issues. An EGII should strive to provide access to a broad readily available high quality platform of base data within a .uniform infrastructure across Europe, so that every market niche is open to everyone, so that existing data can be combined to provide relevant reliable, valuable information and so that new data can be effectively and immediately used. Meta data services and standards are critical to the achievement of this aim. A great deal has already been achieved in some national and disciplinary areas, but the quality and coverage is patchy. The current DGXIIIe projects on base data and meta data services will help to shine light on what has happened so far and identify the shortfall in the present situation. This platform can then be used to encourage others to fill in the gaps and yet more to increase the awareness of the information that is available cin s/what'"^ globally is comparatively a data rich region. THE GLOBAL SITUATION While Europe has been debating its requirement for a GI infrastructure parallel initiatives (some far more advanced in implementation) have been started in other parts of the world. In the USA with its National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI), in Australia, Japan, SE Asia and more recently Korea activities are well advanced with strong political support. There ‘are ^ currently 'a number | of tentative steps being taken to explore the need for and viability of a Global GI. A number of meetings, mostly unofficial have taken place in many parts of the world over the past year, some of which have involved various members of EUROGI. The next such meeting will take place with invited delegates under our auspices in Bonn : hosted” by “our- German Association (DDGI) in September where some of the next steps will be discussed. It is also of significance that the UN and the World Bank have now become interested in these activities. It is important that Europe plays an appropriate role and EUROGI will work to ensure that it does. CONCLUSION We live in interesting times. Europe has the means but needs to demonstrate the political will to create a GI information infrastructure that will benefit the market-place and its citizens, a will that supports, stimulates and challenges private companies and public !'bodies!csto: invests:in:tthe creation and improvement of an EGII. EUROGI will play its part. International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996 Th No WO fi da gr ex hi: ini Sp: Col The the to] SCé gre pr: up: Sti As:
