Special points of interest are 
e Methods and mechanisms for integrating core (framework) data with other geospatial and 
business (or value-added) data. 
e Harmonisation requirements on core data, including cross-jurisdiction issues. 
e The adoption of new Delivery mechanisms, specifically the Internet and mobile 
communications, and their effect on the business models and practices of NMA's 
e Methods and mechanisms for delivery of metadata with emphasis on data quality information 
e Applications of visualisation technology to geospatial information 
4 CONCLUSIONS 
EuroSDR developed its research goals and strategy to meet the requirements of the modern geo- 
spatial information community. The main objective is to initiate and do research to improve the 
present practices and to develop new methods for the provision of core data. The domain of the 
Organization expanded from data acquisition and information extraction from image data to all the 
aspects of information provision processes. That means that the Organization also deals with 
technological and methodical aspects of data base issues, delivery mechanisms, data processing, 
integration and presentation etc. 
Because core data provision will be in the context of GSDI the field of interest also expanded to cover 
issues of information management. Data integration is one of the important aspects of data exchange. 
This implies that more attention is required to deal with the users aspects of geo-spatial core data. 
To keep a research orientation focused on the needs of a wider geo-spatial data community EuroSDR 
encourages interaction between research organisations and the public and private sector to exchange 
ideas about relevant research problems and to transfer research results obtained to geoinformation 
production organisations.
