‘Smart linking’ Smart data linking • Interoperability • Semantics • Ontologies “Over the past few years, it seems that a good way to ensure a small audiance for a technical session, is to include in your presentation title words as ‘semantics’, ‘ontologies’ or ‘interoperability’ (Gary J Hunter, Transactions in GIS, 2002).”

International context • Standards (ISO, OGC, W3C) • Integration of geographical structures(Eurogeographics, Eulis, Inspire) • Consultancy, partnerships and cooperation

Conclusion • Farewell to a single party strategy • Innovation as part of our business • Accept / fill-in our role as authority, innovator and co-creator • Europe and the world as our context • Share our knowledge with other countries and organisation
