The GISEDI EUROPE project ran from May 1996 until May 1997. EUROGI was a partner.

The aim of GISEDI EUROPE was to demonstrate electronic applications and services for faster, more effective exchange of geographical data between suppliers and users. It helped to facilitate and improve access to geographical databases, and speed up the definition of new associated exchange market services to answer user needs. New dissemination networks were suggested to optimize localized data process, create original dissemination channels and facilitate data retrieval. A key factor in the success of the project was efficient easy-to-use interfaces employing existing networks, standards interfaces, messages for geographical data and trade messages.
