WG1: Coordination & Organisation
Lessons form existing SDIs shows that:– Strong multi-sector coordination is important– Legislation is often helpful to build momentum– Must be sustained over time to overcome agency’s silos
mentality– Must provide technical support as well as leadership– Must nurture sustained political support– Must help make the SDI relevant to other stakeholders,
demonstrate benefits, help with seed funding– Must disseminate and enforce common standards.
For a European SDI……
There is a need for a coordinating body at the European level to make it happen
The Coordinating body does not need to be big (~12-15 staff)
But also need for a broader reference group Authoritative in the professional communities and
national constituencies. Own budget for coordination and implementation
assistance
Who should be in it?
EC and other EU institutions Private Sector Member States NSDIs and relevant pan-European orgs. Citizen organisations (e.g. NGOs, Friends of
the Earth, etc. ) Relevant thematic applications and priorities,
with strong link to e-government
WG2: Financial and political sustainability
Politicians must be involved to provide leadership and participate in committees
Financial support for ESDI should come from the government initially and that such investment is an integral part of modernization and e-government initiatives
Involvement of private industry, utilities, and non-governmental participation expected but is a newer concept
Legal Framework
Need legal framework to provide both an incentive and sustainability, requirement to understand how law applies to GI
Requirement for research into existing and future data access policies within a potential ESDI
Investigate and describe innovative models for financing the ESDI
WG3: Selling the benefits
Wide adoption of ESDI requires cultural change – decentralized, peer-to-peer
Need a communication strategy to address authorities and stakeholders at different administrative levels
Candidate use cases to drive pilot integration that relate to top priorities
Use cases need to be developed to reflect political, operational, cultural, and technical considerations
