GeoConnections Secretariat

The GeoConnections Secretariat respects the Official Languages Act and relevant Treasury Board policies, and is committed to ensuring all information on this Web site is available in both English and French. However, users should be aware that some information available on the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) Architecture pages is received in draft form from other parties and may be available in only one language.

In addition, due to architecture information being in a developmental phase, information is regularly modified. Due to this nature, new words are created, modified and adapted as needed during development.
