Effective Coordination for European Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI): Lessons Learned and Strategies

This workshop on SDIs highlights the importance of strong multi-sector coordination and sustained effort over time to overcome agency silos. It suggests the need for a coordinating body at the European level to support the development of National SDIs, provide technical advice, promote international standards, and raise awareness. Key stakeholders include EU institutions, private sector, member states, citizen organizations, and thematic applications with a focus on e-government. The coordinating body should have a lean staffing structure like FGDC (15 staff) and an authoritative presence to drive SDI initiatives effectively.
