dear all, The new "Digital Standards Organisation", an OSI-like organisation with some familiar names attached to it, is launching around a Declaration on the importance of open "digital standards" and asking for signups in support: http://www.digistan.org/hague-declaration:en
I wrote a bit about what I make of their work and how it relates to some of what's being done at opendefinition.org here on the OKFN blog: http://blog.okfn.org/2008/05/14/dispatches-from-digistan/ ----- Forwarded message from Chris Puttick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Sign the Hague declaration Hi all A new group is being formed to promote open digital standards, starting with a declaration regarding the importance of digital standards being truly open: http://www.digistan.org/hague-declaration:en Please read it and sign if you agree. I'm sure most working with spatial data would have encountered problems with the core areas where standards are missing or not being supported properly. Think GIS projects. Or CAD. I'm sure there are others... Cheers Chris ------ Files attached to this email may be in ISO 26300 format (OASIS Open Document Format).
