Dear reference group members,

 

The ESDIN closing workshop will be organized 29th March in Brussels. It will be a excellent opportunity to hear what we have done regarding accessing data and licensing policy. We will propose a new modular approach for identiiying data and how to get access to it, the Geo Product Finder service concept.

We have progressed in other areas as well, first WFSs will be demonstrated and we will dicuss how the national contributions can be made available for Europe and global use.
