EuroGeographics strategy
Page 9
Strategic goals
• Achieve interoperability of NMCA information
• Specifications (set the ‘de facto’ standards)
• Pricing and licensing framework (to improve access to information)
• Service infrastructure (from ‘centralised’ to ‘distributed’)
• Partnerships (network)
• Sustainable financial model

Key steps
• Improve access to existing national reference information (short term)• Metadata, Pricing & Licensing, Coordinate Reference Service
• Provide small scales, ‘harmonised’, pan-European products (short/medium term)• SABE, EuroGlobalMap, EuroRegionalMap
• Develop larger scales, ‘interoperable’, pan-European products/services (longer term)• Theme by theme
