What Could be Missing...
Based on the documents: Strategic View of GIS Research and Technology
Development for Europe, 1st and 2nd editions, GI2000
Data Modelling
Mechanisms to Assure Data Quality and Integrity
Quality Assurance by Integration of Potential
Users
Spatial Analysis for Decision Support
Developments in other thematic areas (facility
management, risk & emergency management,
etc...)
Interoperability through a Virtual Lab
Conclusions
Wide range of problem
areas
Wide range of new ICT
Some projects feature highly innovative aspects
Many projects involve standards (using,
developing, promoting)
hence engaged in
interoperability
Most of the projects demonstrate uptake/potentia
New projects could consider other areas
suggested earlier
