The Thematic Network Approach
Thematic Networks are promoted in order to create frameworks of common interest among the GISIG members and to establish linkages and partnership with various GIS applications domains, users groups and professional operators.
The following networks have been started: ICAM-GIS
GIS for Integrated Coastal Area Management, jointly promoted by ICCOPS and GISIG
NATURE-GIS GIS for protected areas and nature conservation
WATER-GIS GIS for Water Environment, jointly promoted by Techware and GISIG
INSPIRE SDIC

INSPIRE & NATURE-GISINSPIRE Principles
• Information should be managed as closely as possible to its source;
• Information is provided once and shared with others for many purposes;
• Information should be accessible to enable clients to make comparisons at the appropriate geopgraphical scale (e.g. countries, cities, catchment areas);
• Information should be made available to the puplic after due consideration of the appropriate level of aggregation, given possible confidentiality constraints, and at national level in the national language(s);
IST Nature-GIS project A European thematic network for Protected Areas / Nature Preservation and Geographical Information
In parallel with the definition of the INSPIRE Directive:

The Nature-GIS Guidelines
What are they for?To provide in a single volumethe salient findings of the project and to draw “best practice” indications for the discovery, access and use of geo-spatial data on protected areas
They are divided into three parts- Nature-GIS context- Nature-GIS Survey- Nature-GIS Architecture
They are available on Internet as well (www.gisig.it)

The GI-INDEED Training material has been categorised as follows:
Course: a set of modules and/or components provided by a training provider to single trainees or to organisations;
Module: a set of components combined each other
Training component: an independent training unit

GI-INDEED exploitation
• Possibility to access the GI-INDEED Training Package
• Definition of new use cases (Coastal Areas Module)
• The GI-INDEED Modules will be part of VESTA-GIS (included in the VESTA-GIS course catalogue)
• E-learning platform (tools) and approach for training material organisation (including the course selector), useful for other initiatives.

VESTA-GIS at a glance
The aim is to to pool knowledge in the GIS domain (technology, applications), to share experience and foster innovation in vocational training by bringing together experts, organisations and users of GI and its application domains, as well as to identify the trends and skills requirements in this area and to improve the anticipated benefit of vocational training initiatives.
The following main activities are foreseen:
• Network Building and sharing knowledge
• Analysis of training course offer and demand
• Implementation of the Network training framework
• Implementation of an e-learning platform
• Training course catalogue building.
• Promotion of people mobility
• Exploitation and dissemination actions

The network will be developed in the favourable framework of the new European Directives for environment and territory, which are dealing with problems that have reached a new European dimension (such as the INSPIRE Directive recently approved by the European Parliament). The project focuses in particular on these application domains:
