in Europe took place as a pre-conference workshop WS6 of the AGILE 2009
conference on Tuesday 2nd of June 2009 in
The objectives proposed
originally for the PTB initiative were:
To provide a research platform for
collaborative European research in geospatial interoperability,
To aid the
assessment of the current standards for geospatial interoperability in terms of
research compatibility, completeness, consistency, ease of use and
extensibility,
To provide an environment for teaching standards and
techniques for geospatial interoperability,
To provide a resource to

About
EuroSDR:
EuroSDR is a
pan-European organisation established, as OEEPE, in 1953 in
Eighteen countries
comprise the current membership of EuroSDR. Delegates from national mapping
organisations, research institutes and the private sector from the member
countries devise together a rolling research plan every three years. The plan
aims to address the research needs of core spatial data provision, management
and delivery. It is realised through timely applied international collaborative
research projects, focussed workshops and specialist
taskforces.
Research results are
reported widely through technical papers and a high quality ‘Official
Publications’ series. Knowledge gained is further transferred to the user
community through the EuroSDR education service based on short concentrated
distance e-learning courses.
Suitable GI
organisations from European countries (members of the Council of Europe) may
become Members of EuroSDR. Applications for membership should be addressed to
the Secretariat.
