AGISEE has been selected to receive a GSDI Small Grant for 2011-12 for the project proposal: Non-Governmental Organizations for Spatial Data Infrastructure - NGO4SDI. The proposal of NGOs’ involvement in SDI aims at spreading the need and the return of stronger demand from the spatial data end users using resources from NGO activities. Research of potentials of the NGOs that have no direct correlation with geospatial information, in regards to the SDI current status on a (supra)national level in SEE, will represent the project’s mission.

The Digital Earth Vision 2020 was finally launched after more than 6 months of discussions from Digital Earth scientists worldwide. On 23rd August, 2011, the new ISDE President Prof. John Richards announced the Digital Earth Vision 2020 in the opening ceremony of the 7th International Symposium on Digital Earth.

The new vision pointed out what Digital Earth might be in the future and will lead new development of the Digital Earth concept, research and applications. ISDE president, professor John Richards explained, “The Digital Earth Vision 2020 will act as the geographical framework on which to build solutions to physical, social and cultural problems, with functionalities of satisfactory metric accuracy, inclusion of underground and underwater data, historical and time predictive models, data archiving, dynamic and interactive, improved access to current and historical data and information, incorporation of inherently non-visual data, metadata on quality, trust and uncertainty, participative in data provision, analysis and debate, includes information on place, culture, identity and networks, development is driven by application demand, and easy and fun to use.”

The First Serbian Geodetic Congress took place under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment, Mining and Spatial Planning of the Government of the Republic of Serbia. The first part of the congress showed the achievements of the State Geodetic Authority of the Republic of Serbia concerning the important field of cadastre and the Serbian National Spatial Data Infrastructure. The second part was the scientific conference focusing on the topics GNSS technologies, INSPIRE, Real estate valuation and management, 3D cadastre and Remote sensing serving regional development. The international significance of the Congress provided in particular a possibility for young scientists to acquire valid references by participating with their papers. About 450 participants took part in the congress, which was very well organized. We are looking forward to the second edition of this congress. Ulrich Boes, president of AGISEE, presented the activities and achievements of AGISEE in the field of education.

We see the need for the promotion of the knowledge on spatial data infrastructure, at national and European level, the need to gather the representatives of the institutions, subjects of the NSDI with idea to speed up the implementation of SDI in Croatia and to develop the geo-enabled society. This time we want to enlight the activities on the transposition of the INSPIRE directive into the national legislative which as part of Programme of the Government of the Republic of Croatia for transposition and implementation of the EU acquis.
The Croatian Cartographic Society (CCS) and State Geodetic Administration (SGA) as components of the geodetic profession in the particular field have the task and aim of demonstrating knowledge and skill of solving problems related to NSDI and ensure a new area of work for its professionals.
The Croatian Cartographic Society by organizing the conference together with the State Geodetic Administration for the third time wants to contribute to the development of geoinformatics, cartography, geography and related fields. This time the emphasis is on spatial data infrastructure which will change understanding of character, importance and use of spatial data.

The objectives of the proposal included an evaluation of the possibility to extend the EUREF Permanent Network (EPN) in Southeast Europe, testing the models for space geodetic observations processing, and integration of the obtained results from previous geodetic studies for the regions of Central and Southeast Europe in an unified frame. The project results contribute to the geodetic strategy for development of Earth observation systems in Southeast Europe.
The project consortium has made available its final report to AGISEE. This final report includes in particular a summary of the situation of the geodetic system in all countries of South-East Europe.

This workshop intends to bring together the members of the GI&SDI community whose work and activities are aimed to progress the research, policy and practice with regard to the legal aspects of geographic data, either as a lawyer or as a researcher or professional in other fields closely related with law or policy. The objective of the workshop is to have an annual meeting where we can get an overview of existing research and discuss newly emerging legal issues.
For the second edition, three main themes are on the agenda. The morning session will be dedicated to licensing policies and the possibilities for harmonization. In the first session of the afternoon we will address location privacy, and the second afternoon session will deal with the new calls for a "right to data". For each theme, there will be two or three short presentations followed by a discussion, to which you are all invited to participate. Speakers include Paul Uhlir (The National Academies), Melanie Dulong-Rosnay (CNRS), Helen Darbishire (Access Info), Ed Parsons (Google), Bastiaan van Loenen (TU Delft) and Eleni Kosta (K.U.Leuven).

This database contains many entries of SDIs that are approved by the SDI owners and submitted by the national points of contacts in the required format. AGISEE members have published their SDIs as well; they are from Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Turkey.
The database allows new SDIs to submit their data online. The Online Registration Form is available at http://www.esdinetplus.eu/best_practice/register.html. We encourage you to also submit your SDI into this database, which would give you many new contacts and others might contact you for future cooperation.
