EU ‘INSPIRE’ Directive Is Theme For Public Sector GIS Event

The Directive paves the way for all geospatial data to be shared by public bodies across the EU. It is set to come into full force in the UK in May 2009, but the countdown begins now. The directive lays down the 'ground rules' and arrangements which enable spatial data from separate digital databases to be combined seamlessly and for such datasets to be made widely available and used without undue difficulty.

Headstar's event in association with our leading publication E-Government Bulletin and the AGI promises to be an essential day for anyone from the public or private sectors involved in the collection, management and use of geospatial data. Come along and find out more about the implications of INSPIRE.

Plenary speakers will include representatives from the Local Government Association; the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA); and the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
