Conclusions The III team is well positioned to develop an integrated vision and architecture for CGDI, and to provide a key focus in the building of CGDI; l Embrace broad coverage: beyond data, towards information, leading to user knowledge/wisdom; l Focus on infrastructure NOT systems; l Become stakeholder driven (not technology ~ ); l Stakeholders must eventually manage and control the architecture; l Several domestic benefits: much reduced costs, high efficiency, emergence of a new industry; l International positioning: a model for export.
