The European Union's INSPIRE Directive lays down the ground rules to enable spatial data from separate databases to be combined seamlessly and to be made widely available, paving 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.
Headstar's flagship annual event 'Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in the Public Sector: the Countdown to INSPIRE' - in association with our leading publication E-Government Bulletin - 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.
