The ultimate purpose is to create a group of people who like to work together to advance innovation and use of standards in the geospatial domain and also to present the interest and requirements of this group to international standardisation. We invite you to register to the mailing list. Soon you would receive the first mails and we would be happy to enter into a dialogue with you.
