« EU Agrees to Outlaw "Green Crimes" | Main | Mexico City to Cut GHG Emissions 12% by 2012 » Netherlands' GIDEON Arrives in 2011The NL Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment ('VROM') is creating a single, cohesive infrastructure of geographic information ('geo-information') concerning matters such as road networks, soil structure and environmental quality, relating to almost all major social issues such as mobility, care, public order, safety and spatial planning. GIDEON is being built in collaboration with other ministries, government bodies, companies and knowledge institutes. This infrastructure will be freely available to all, enabling citizens, companies and institutes to improve development of products and services. In this way, GIDEON will help reduce companies' administrative burden and improve the delivery of government services to citizens. VROM has not opted for a pre-determined blueprint, but chooses to gradually build up the system in order to increase chances of success and close gaps of knowledge and expertise.
