Nordic Grid perspectivesUnified, comparable and useful data

Previous conclusions: there is a need for a NG Tandem II and other excellent works stated that

unified platform for gathering and dissemenation of statistical data

(still) needs for common disclosure policy, specifications and formal agreements

New perspectives what is yet to be considered?

a user and stakeholder forum a mutual openness a market that is opening and highly interested

Make use of the communityA prospective workspace

Specifications to be discussed and formulated NSIs and the NMAs can use a ’restricted area’ on the

NGP site as long as the material is regarded confidential – with publication afterwards or not at all

Common disclosure policy/handling of sensitive data is a great challenge critical question that will enable, if solved, a

comparison on a different level without a doubt it implies more than just this one

thing (data protection? Modification of laws? Changing of constitution?)

Future stepsWhat to do next – and who to do it?

a Nordic Grid community private and public actors in unison GEOMATIC regards cooperation to be the right way GEOMATIC will participate due to own interests and

activitites NMAs and NSIs should be the responsible parties

behind specifications, technical solutions, products and so forth

we are open towards constructive debate
