NSDI: State of PlayOrganizational and fundamental aspects • NON GI perspectives • Master plan for the entry of France into the Information Society • State modernisation and new ways of governance • assignment of general interest services mission against contract conditions • New issue from the public tendering rules : • how to avoid the Ministry of agriculture to go for a call for tender while the ministry of public transport is "half" funding the orthophoto component of the RGE
