[GSDI Legal Econ] FW: Stratégie canadienne sur l'information numérique / Canadian Digital Information Strategy

[Yola Georgiadou]

Tracey, thanks for this! I immediately searched for "implementation" (my favorite word) and found the following paragraph:

"Work on the Strategy must therefore continue. As you review this draft, we ask you to consider how to advance its implementation and to suggest concrete follow-up steps that will ensure that the Strategy is acted upon."

I think the most succinct suggestion is for the strategy development team to consult the http://www.si.umich.edu/InfrastructureWorkshop/documents/UnderstandingInfrastructure2007.pdf

which you commented upon so beautifully in your blog.  

Best regards
Yola

A new document on the preservation, management and dissemination of data. There is content on geomatics and science data and it would be fantastic if reflexive and critical comments and responses to this document could be submitted from Canadian and International organizations who have experience in this area - Science and Geomatics and SDI. The strategy and the document can only get better if there is a broad set of eyes critically reading, evaluating and commenting.

An argument has been made that SDI model couls be emulated for the implementation of such a strategy. Why reinvent the wheel when a model can be augmented, extended and used in a different context. The argument is not obvious in this document. There is a divide between heritage and culture institutions and science based institutions. Heritage and culture prevail and science and geomatics are viewed as small specialty subjects. The term data itself at times seems to frighten some communities.

Sincerely
Tracey
