Open: enables better decision making, the CGDI is based on open, barrier-free data sharing and standards that allow users to exchange data. 2. Accessible: allows users to access data and services seamlessly, despite any complexities of the underlying technology. 3. Evolving: the network of organizations participating in the CGDI will continue to address new requirements and business applications for information and service delivery to their respective users. 4. Timely: the CGDI is based on technologies and services that support timely or real-time access to information. 5. Sustainable: is sustained by the contributions of the participating organizations and broad user community and through the infrastructures relevance to these groups. 6. Self-organizing the CGDI enables various organizations to contribute geospatial information, services and applications, and guide the infrastructures development. 7. User and community driven emphasizes the nurturing of and service to a broad user community. These users, including Canadians in general, will drive the CGDIs development based on user requirements. 8. Closest to source maximizes efficiency and quality by encouraging organizations closest to source to provide data and services. Thereby eliminating duplication and overlap. 9. Trustworthy is continually enhanced to protect sensitive and proprietary data. The CGDI offers this protection through policies and mechanisms that enable data to be assessed for quality and trusted by users.

Definition Cybercartography is a theoretical construct proposed by D.R. Fraser Taylor (1997, 2003). the organization, presentation, analysis and communication of spatially referenced information on a wide variety of topics of interest and use to society in an interactive, dynamic, multimedia, multisensory and multidisciplinary format. Cybercartography offers an opportunity to deeply rethink how maps are created, including their design, how they are produced, disseminated and used on the Internet. 20.

Data Sharing ARTICLE III 1. In order to promote international cooperation in scientific investigation in Antarctica, as provided for in Article II of the present Treaty, the Contracting Parties agree that, to the greatest extent feasible and practicable: (a) information regarding plans for scientific programs in Antarctica shall be exchanged to permit maximum economy and efficiency of operations; (b) scientific personnel shall be exchanged in Antarctica between expeditions and stations; (c) scientific observations and results from Antarctica shall be exchanged and made freely available Agenda 21 Chapter 40 INFORMATION FOR DECISION-MAKING 40.1. In sustainable development, everyone is a user and provider of information considered in the broad sense. That includes data, information, appropriately packaged experience and knowledge. The need for information arises at all levels, from that of senior decision makers at the national and international levels to the grass-roots and individual levels. The following two programme areas need to be implemented to ensure that decisions are based increasingly on sound information: a. Bridging the data gap; b. Improving information availability. 33.

Conclusion 51. Programmable City Objectives How is the city translated into software and data? How do software and data reshape the city? Translation: City into Data Transduction: Data Reshape City THE CITYDATA Discourses, Practices, Knowledge, Models Mediation, Augmentation, Facilitation, Regulation 52. Data & Infrastructures do not exist independently of the ideas, techniques, technologies, people and contexts that produce, process, manage, analyze and store them, regardless of them often being presented in this manner... (The Data Revolution, Kitchin in Press 2014). also mediate culture and society by constructing stories which create representations around which subjects are created & actions are taken shaping and shaped by geographic imaginations (Data, Infrastructures and Geographical Imaginations, Lauriault 2012) 53.
