Link to a short letter describing ePSIPlus and also listing all network partners with some contact information. All are welcome to use it to promote the project in your country and also for organization of national and thematic meetings.
ePSIPlus is an EC funded project under the eContentplus Programme. There are 26 partners including EUROGI, which was asked to be a partner due to its extensive network of experts in the field of geographic information.
The ePSIPlus Thematic Network will support the implementation of the European Directive on PSI re-use by facilitating the major opportunities for business to develop added value products and services based on PSI in the period leading up to its 2008 review, across all Member and candidate states and covering all PSI domains. It will focus on five major themes identified as a result of the ePSINet Accompanying Measure under the eContent Programme:
1. Legal and regulatory progress and impact (including implementation of the Directive)
2. Public sector organisation and culture change (including compliance with the Directive)
3. Encouraging PSI re-use business
4. The financial impact of the Directive: pricing and charging (including impact on public sector costs and budget)
5. Information management, standards and data quality
