Workshop Topics

The focus of the 9th EC-GI&GIS Workshop is "Serving the User"; in other words, now that the need for an ESDI has been identified, how do we go about delivering interoperable data and services to the European citizen. The Topics selected for the Workshop address all aspects of services for and to the user, and follow on from the discussions begun in Dublin.
