Dear colleagues, friends, geospatial enthusiasts,

A Beyond SDI info session will happen on 11 August 2021 at 12:00 UTC as 
part of the Eleventh Session of the United Nations Committee of Experts 
on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM):

Since the SDI conceptualisation was developed in the late 1980s and 
early 1990s there have been many technological and other changes which 
have quite radically changed the environment for geospatial information 
and analytics. There is thus a need to re-think and re-align the way in 
which geospatial information is shared, analysed and used in the rapidly 
changing environment of today and into the future.

A group of geospatial experts from around the world who were brought 
together by EUROGI, the European Umbrella Organisation for Geographic 
Information, has produced a paper which proposes the idea of a 
geospatial ecosystem as a basis for establishing a new updated framework.

The two main aims of the session are to briefly outline the ideas set 
out in the paper and to obtain feedback from the session attendees which 
will be used to revise the paper and further develop the ideas presented 
in the paper.
