The strategic visioning session of the URISA 3rd Caribbean GIS Conference, held on Nov 2 2006 in The Bahamas, involved some 60 participants from 15 countries. The broad areas that were considered to be of significance to national and regional SDI development were:
- A Caribbean/Regional SDI Coordinating Body
- Capacity Building, GIS Training and Education
- Funding for GIS Development
- Information Technology
- Data Acquisition
- Data Access and Dissemination
- Institutional Arrangements
- SDI Policy/Legislation
- Contract Specifications and Consultancy Services
- Geodetic Infrastructure
Though well-considered, the Caribbean SDI Resolutions (66KB Word) are still essentially draft and not ratified by any regional authority.
