Assisting the free access to the information on Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to the users, the Association for the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI) has been making newsletters on SDI, available in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (SDI-LAC), and in Asia and Pacific (SDI-AP).
The newsletter SDI-LAC concentrates on aspects of the SDI and on GIS, remote sensing and the administration of data in Latin America and the Caribbean, related with SDI. It aims to create consciousness, to provide useful information for the invigoration of national initiatives of SDI and to support the synchronization of regional efforts.
The Pan-American Institute of Geography and History (IPGH), member entity of GSDI, and of the Permanent Committee for the Infrastructure of Spatial Data of America (CP-IDEA), promote the development of SDI in the area. The newsletter is prepared to GSDI by IPGH.
The Portuguese version of the SDI-LAC Newsletter was first published between November, 2007 and February, 2009, and now is being published again, since August, 2011, thanks to a group of volunteers located in several states of Brazil, and also in the United States and Canada.
