The day was attended by Chamber of the Regional Council of Burgundy a hundred participants. She focused on two points:

• INSPIRE and the recall of its legal obligations
• the principle of cataloging data and program related training

Whether to optimize the school bus or to facilitate the balance of territory on access to services, to build a new sports hall to provide for snow removal routes, to develop a Territorial coherence scheme or plan for risk prevention, information géonumérique is a very useful tool for decision support for local actors.

To this day, everyone was buying software and base maps very expensive without being able to cross his information with those partners. GéoBourgogne can pool all the information and put an end to the considerable costs that each community had to endure to access geographic databases.

Through a free membership and free GéoBourgogne , All utilities or private bodies responsible for public service mission can access all data available on the territory (aerial photographs, maps of land use, terrain representations, databases and equipment projects, maps ...).

GéoBourgogne open to all actors involved in the Burgundy region, which meet a public service mission and produce, with or without GIS (GIS) of geographically referenced data. Local authorities, public establishments for cooperation between local authorities, associations of public utilities ... many structures can adhere to this device.

For partners GéoBourgogne The public and parastatal agencies interested must sign a charter for sharing geographic information. This charter, co-signed by the Regional Prefect and the President of the Regional Council, formalizes the role of each partner in the device and establish the rights and obligations of each.

The scheme is financed jointly by the State, the Regional Council of Burgundy under the Project Agreement State / Province 2007-2013 and by Europe (ERDF).

GéoBourgogne focuses on the development of practical exchange and production of geographic information pooled. As such, it sets out five objectives:

• Identify the data and these organizations need help to acquire them. Indeed, each agency uses geographic information but it is not always clear what data to use or how to get them ...
• Promote local, geographic information and promote the sharing of
  data. Public bodies and parastatals use, directly or indirectly geographical information but it is undervalued. To GéoBourgogne It is essential to help publicize this geographic information and develop a culture of exchange of data between these organizations.
• Help organizations to exchange data, especially by proposing
  standard local, national and European data produced. To meet national and European directives as to facilitate exchanges between departments, GéoBourgogne offers standardized public data.
• Enable public agencies and parastatals of Burgundy to reduce spending through the bulk purchase of reference data. Suppliers of reference data (such as IGN) offer open licenses to different partners. Purchased by a given GéoBourgogne can serve more of its partners without surplus on their budgets ...
• Make interoperable legacy systems to facilitate the implementation of collaborative projects between the different partners GéoBourgogne . While facilitating the pooling and sharing of information, GéoBourgogne offers services enabling its partners to work together on joint projects and concerted cross.

Besides the INSPIRE directive, the day of 28 January 2010 focused on the cataloging of data by public actors Burgundy. The firm IETI Consultants, as a first step, conducted a survey of these stakeholders to prepare an inventory of advanced cataloging agencies. After returning the survey, the establishment of the training session cataloging tool GeoNetwork has been decided.

The training sessions will be led by Henri Pornon of IETI Consultants. They will take place:

• Auxerre: 18 and 19 March 2010 at the Prefecture de l'Yonne
• Dijon: 11 and 12 March 2010 (1^re session), and 29 and April 30, 2010 (2^e session) to the Regional Council of Burgundy
• Macon: the 1^st and April 2, 2010 at the center of human resource development (CVRH)
• Nevers: 22 and 23 April 2010 at the Prefecture of Nièvre
