CONT: Canadian federal and provincial government organizations have long been engaged in building and maintaining extensive collections of digital topographic mapping datasets, road network files and property mapping databases in support of their own respective mandates and obligations. Since 1996, a collection of these organizations has been instrumental in establishing and developing the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) Initiative. Capacity-building and partnerships between different levels of government, industry and academia have been two of the hallmarks of the CGDI initiative.
CONT: The CGDI initiative has been supported since 1996 by the Inter-Agency Committee on Geomatics (IACG) and the Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG), and in 1999, the federal Cabinet expanded its support to this important national initiative.
