Benefits to Canadians
The Validation framework and the enhanced GeoServer capabilities delivered by this project will
allow Canadian governments to maintain data quality and move to standards based data access
without purchasing expensive proprietary software. They will help protect the quality of Canadian
data as the CGDI moves to a more and more distributed data management model. And they will
provide smaller organizations (NGOs, municipalities, etc) the opportunity to become involved in
the CGDI network without substantial spending on GIS server software.
