The 3rd national workshop on NSDI, India took place at Agra on 13th-15th, November. The workshop attracted over 120 delegates including important policy makers related to geospatial data and delegates from abroad. The theme for the workshop was "Empowering People Through Geospatial Data". Sumit Sen presented a paper on "Semantic Interoperability Issues" in the concluding session, which had a number of presentations that discussed how the various data generating agencies (private or public) have been working and what value and content in terms of spatial data can they add to the NSDI. The paper, which was received very well, threw light on how industries and data producers can work on a common environment without loosing their individual expertise and culture. NSDI for India is aimed at creating a national infrastructure for the wide availability and access to organized spatial data. Use of this infrastructure at the community, local, state, regional and national levels is aimed at for sustained economic growth.
