11 - 12 January 2012

National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI), a division of Department of Science and Technology, Government of India is organizing NSDI-11 at Bengaluru during 11-12 January 2012. NSDI-11 is being organized in collaboration with Karnataka State Council for Science & Technology (KSCST), Bengaluru.

The NSDI has come to be seen as the technology, policies, criteria, standards and people necessary to promote geospatial data sharing throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and academia. It provides a base or structure of practices and relationships among data producers and users that facilitates data sharing and use. It is a set of actions and new ways of accessing, sharing and using geographic data that enables far more comprehensive analysis of data to help decision-makers choose the best course(s) of action. Much has been accomplished in recent years to further the implementation of the NSDI, but there is still much to be done to achieve the vision of current and accurate geographic data being readily available across the country.

The conference is proposed to be inaugurated on 11th January, 2012. This will also mark the dedication of Karnataka Geoportal.
