Best Practise Award for Cross Border Project PDF Print E-mail

The Crossborder Spatial Project (X-GDI) was, together with eleven other outstanding Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) projects, highly commended at an International Conference on November 26th and 27th 2009 in Turin, Italy.

award01.jpgThe conference was organised by the European project eSDI-Net+ and hosted by Regione Piemonte. It attracted an international audience of about 130 professionals engaged in SDI and related GI activities at the European, national, regional and local levels.

Previous to the Award, all SDIs in Europe were invited to submit their best practice and be part of the fast growing network of SDIs. After an initial evaluation of the applications, a number of promising SDIs has been selected for detailed interviews to provide further information. Each interviewed SDI was evaluated by the national representatives of the eSDI-Net+ project, focusing on the key aspects such as:

  • Technological, innovative level and originality of the project;
  • Implementation and/or readiness for INSPIRE principles;
  • Level of fostering cooperation between different users (proof of visibility and/or user feedback);
  • Possibility of extension or transfer to other countries and regions.

The main message for the Award Jury was that "each Spatial Data Infrastructure is a special case." The diversity of experiences made was a fundamental challenge for the Jury. Facing the difficulty of comparing "apple and pears, oranges and potatoes" Jury, consisting of 6 GI experts, decided to highly commend all twelve SDIs.
