E.g.: Public order and safety
3 projects and 7 innovation pilots A few examples: Mobile services for fire brigades Spatial planning and risk

Experiences NSDI is difficult to communicate NSDI is BIG (and dynamic) NSDI awareness is growing Connecting user worlds is difficult but valuable (inspiration & anchoring) “What’s the problem” syndrome
Challenge: reducing complexity!
2. NSDI user demands - Users
Why do we need NSDI assessments results? To communicate the benefits of NSDI To make investment decisions
Who are potential users of NSDI assessments results?
Decision makers (decision making): “GI-Beraad”, GeoManagers, Industry
Lobby/ Policymakers (promoting & advise): Policymakers at the Ministries, RGI, GeoNovum, GeoMeeting…
Stakeholders in the world of Supply AND Demand
RGI & NSDI assessments results
Value for RGI: To strengthen the role of catalyst for
implementation SDI (To strengthen the scientific output of RGI )
Usability demands Simple & Comprehensive (brochure?) Illustration (what is SDI)? Concrete facts Good and Best practices!
RGI & Demands on results
Qualitative, quantitative, monetary? Yes
Special interest:
View on organization roles and their interestsSearch for the common interest Culture of decision making (Dutch “polder” culture) Benchmarking
RGI & indicators

Societal output
- Sectoral SDI’s- Transparent business model- Use by industry/ # licencies
Innovationoutput
Economicoutput
-New user fields,e.g. health
- Concrete NSDI vision- % awareness
3. Conclusions
Users, suggestion: stakeholders in the world of Demand to convince the world of supply Keep it simple Focus on organization roles
