Future of the UK

September 22, 2008 - Joint statement from Defra and CLG - Future of Gigateway

The following statement has been released by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG)

"The Gigateway metadata service has been in operation for several years through the AGI as a unique service to the GI community. Due to financial pressures, funding support from Communities and Local Government for Gigateway ends on 31 March 2009. The future role of Gigateway within the forthcoming UK Spatial Data Infrastructure is being reviewed by a joint group from Defra, CLG and AGI."

For further information on the future development of a metadata service, please contact stefan.carlyle@defra.gsi.gov.uk.

The AGI will issue further news updates to keep you informed of any changes to gigateway.
