NSDI - NATIONAL SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE

SURVEY OF THE STATE OF NATIONAL SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURES FOR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION IN CENTRAL AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

Accomplished jointly by: Instituto Geográfico Agustín Codazzi (IGAC)

      International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) 
"IGAC and CIAT invite all countries in Central America, South America and the Caribbean to participate in the survey described at this page. We are trying to create a center of documentation on the status of NSDI in the Americas. The goal is that each country will be able to learn from the experiences of other countries. It is difficult to classify the initiatives and to obtain the correct information. We hope you will contribute your responses and comments to the NSDI questionnaire and for your country or institution, especially if the information that you review here does not well represent your country. Thank you for your time."
This survey is based on a questionnaire on the status of the national infrastructures of spatial data developed by Dr. Harlan J. Onsrud, Department of Spatial Information Science and Engineering and National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, University of Maine.
http://www.spatial.maine.edu/~onsrud/GSDI.htm   (original questionnaire by H. Onsrud)
This survey is being directed at different national institutions that are involved in the production or management of geographical information, or environmental, agricultural and statistical information that can be georeferenced. If various institutions or individuals in a country have different opinions on the survey questions, it would be useful for each institution or individual to complete a questionnaire separately. Also we would be grateful to those who have participated in this survey if they encourage other institutions involved spatial or geographical information management to complete the questionnaire.

Please, return your responses by e-mail to c.perea@cgiar.org
