GIDEON : one year into a renewed Dutch geo-information policy (from lofty ambitions to realistic expectations)
Barneveld, Dirk van & Noud Hooyman
In April, 2008 the Dutch Council for Geo-information (GI Council) presented 'GIDEON - Key geo-information facility for the Netherlands. Approach and implementation strategy (2008-2011)'. This document sets out how the public sector parties responsible for managing and using spatial information intend to create a key geo-information facility for the Netherlands that all parties in society will use sustainably, successfully and intensively. GIDEON met with a lot of enthusiasm in the Netherlands as well as abroad. But one year later, how is GIDEON doing? The paper will research this question and conclude with lessons learnt in GIDEON's first year. It will finish off with ideas how to proceed in the years to come.
