Iceland: National Land Survey making digital cartography free of charge

As of 23 January 2013, digital maps and Spatial Data held by the National Land Survey of Iceland (NLSI) have been made free of charge, as determined by Svandís Svavarsdóttir Environment and Natural Resources Minister. The data is used in various projects of state agencies such as registration, planning, nature conservation, natural hazards, energy, research and public projects, but they also benefit the public and businesses in various ways.
The purpose of making digital maps and Spatial Data free of charge is to ensure that the general public in Iceland is guaranteed easy access to authoritative information about the environment and nature of Iceland. The goal is also to encourage increased use, processing and dissemination of this data, for example in the field of tourism, public administration and education.
Magnús Guðmundsson, Director General of National Land Survey of Iceland said: "This is a great day for Iceland, and for NLSI. The authoritative information that we painstakingly collect and process is now available to more people who will put it to new and exciting uses. We are fortunate to have a beautiful and unique landscape in Iceland, NLSI is proud and priveledged to have responsibility for recording every detail of it. Now more people will benefit from what we do!"

NLSI map data is available for download on their website, http://www.lmi.is/ without charge.

Register now for the ePSIplatform 2013 Conference! It's free!

Mai postánkból. Ton Zijlstra az ePSIplatform közösség-összefogója küldte az alábbi figyelemfelhívást:
"Dear Gabor Remetey-Fülöpp,

Come to the ePSIplatform 2013 Conference: "Gotcha -  getting everybody on board"

The program for our upcoming conference on 22 February in Warsaw is very much taking shape. Take a look at the program! With over 45 speakers in 12 sessions, we cover a wide diversity of topics and issues. All aimed at bringing more people into the open data effort and mainstream the use of open data in society. Start the new year well, to make it a great Open Data year: Register now (it's free)!

PSI re-use is in the process of reaching a certain degree of maturity and uptake. However, this uptake differs significantly between Member States, PSI domains and stakeholders. The ePSIplatform Conference will therefore be aimed at reaching those that should embark, but have (partly) failed to do so far: "Gotcha! – getting everyone on board". 

Our Polish partners Centrum Cyfrowe and the University of Warsaw (Cyber Law) and us will make sure you have an inspiring experience.

Register now for the ePSIplatform 2013 Conference! It's free!

Register now for free at http://epsiplatform.eu/register2013 and come to Warsaw on 22 February.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Warsaw for the ePSIplatform 2013 conference!

2013 European Open Data/PSI re-use

Mai postánkból. Dr. Katleen Janssen a GSDI L&SE szakbizottság fórumán írja:
" Dear Sir, dear Madam,
You are warmly invited to the 2013 European Open Data/PSI re-use event of the year, organized by the ePSIplatform, Europe’s one-stop shop for PSI/Open Data re-use. The program will combine inspiring plenary sessions featuring top speakers with interactive parallel sessions.
Focus
PSI re-use is in the process of reaching a certain degree of maturity and uptake. However, this uptake differs significantly between Member States, PSI domains and stakeholders.

You can find the preliminary program on our website.
Where and When: Save the Date!

The event takes place on Friday 22 February 2013 and is kindly hosted by the famous Warsaw University, in close collaboration with Centrum Cyfrowe, the leading Polish think tank on the role of ICTs in society.
Why YOU should be there
