space-derived data and geo-spatial data from other sources in the
service of EU policies, especially those relating to agriculture,
fisheries, transport and anti-fraud. SAI also seeks to make the
best use of information from space systems, to maximise the
return from European investments in space and to help the Union
reinforce its role in international action on the environment and
sustainable development. Space Applications Institute

Since 1995, the European Commission has recognised the importance of Geographic
Information (GI) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), both to the continued
development of the European Union and as a potential market of billions of euros of
software, data and services. To foster the growth of thist the Commission has
sponsored a number of strategic activities, notably GI2000 - European GI Policy
Framework and the EC-GIS Strategic Development for Europe initiative.
The 5th EC-GIS Workshop was organised as part of the JRC's GI&GIS project and
provided a forum for presentation of GI and GIS projects sponsored by the European
Commission, and enabled consultation and cross fertilisation of ideas between the
developers and other participants.
The 5th EC-GIS Workshop, "GIS of Tomorrow" saw an increased participation both
in the number of speakers and attendees. This reflects the growing recognition of the
important role of GI and GIS in the Information Society. In addition to presenting GI
and GIS projects, there were also more general presentations on European issues
relating to the current evolution of GI technologies, standards and markets. A special
session was also held to prepare a background document for a European Geographic
Information Infrastructure EGII cross action line in the 5th Framework Programme.
The 5th EC-GIS Workshop was sponsored by the GI&GIS Project of the Space
Applications Institute, Oracle Corporation and ESRI Germany.
Many thanks are due to Ulrich Boes, DG Information Society, initiator of the
workshops, and to Robert Peckham, ISIS, JRC, organiser of the previous three , for setting such a high standard.
Special thanks are due to the Public Relations Unit of the JRC, in particular Mrs. Dorit
Schlittenhart, who helped in the organisation of the Workshop and to my AMS
colleagues, Ioannis Kanellopoulos and Alison Munro.
