Hello Maps-L: Your Moderator just received the message below which has an interesting question for the list.

I am currently participating in a GSDI meeting in Colombia, and could find no evidence that this very active and able group is involved in helping build this global map respository that includes standardization, interoperability and highly defined metatags. If you know the answer, feel free to contact me directly. Otherwise I wonder if you could query the List for me. Thanks, Martha Gorman GITA International [log in to unmask] --- End Forwarded Message ---
