This grant is geared toward the constructing of a Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI) involving the development and open sharing of digital map data. The goal is to map the entire land area of the globe at a 1-km resolution and better, with boundaries, drainage systems, transportation networks, population centers, elevation, land cover, land use, and vegetation.
Anyone who would like to partake in this project is invited, especially organizations that are not yet participating. The grant program is a valuable resource for national mapping organizations or spatial data development organizations that are leading the effort to build a national spatial data infrastructure within a country and that are, or wish to become, participants in Global Map.
You can access more information at www.gsdi.org or www.iscgm.org.
