Workshop Description

The workshop is a paramount opportunity for GIS experts, coming from
research institutions, industry and administrations to meet and exchange
information and experiences. The main focus of the event is to analyse
the INSPIRE Directive (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe)
from a technical point of view and present the results of the recent EU
projects in this field.

In particular the program of the workshop aims to share information on
issues related to international data models and analyse the INSPIRE
Directive as a legislative and methodological framework for all EU
Member States.

GIS experts from academia, government, research organisations and
industry are welcome to submit the abstracts of their latest work for
oral presentation at the workshop.
