In the geographic information industry new ways of collecting data, new data providers and new users entering the indusry, different ways of publishing maps and information, greater flexibility and ways of reaching all kinds of new users are all examples where the boundaries have been pushed back more in the last ten years than in the previous 100. Changes in the mainstream unferliying computing technology have enabled and facilitated this so much so more than radical new methods from within the industry. The impact of change on mapping and geographic information is great as much as any other industry or the change we witness in our own lives from day to day. However, when we stand back and consider what our overall goals are, better management of resources, better education, heath and quality of life, greater care in the use of environment etc. - these are much the same as they always have been. The difference today is that the technology now allows us to really start to address the key issues we have before us. How do we bring coherence to an apparently disconnected world ? How do we prevent difussion and potential chaos, especially when information integration is a critical success factor ? How do we organize ourselves to do that ? The paper will describe the concept of the Digital National Framework how this is now developing to support such an infrastructure and how new technologies e.g. GML are facilitating its development. The paper proposes that we have to start by simplifying the GI infrastruture and recognize the building blocks in the developing that infrastructure. We need to incorporate methods that unite and integrate difinitive information. This turn can be used to underpin all kinds of information in a joint-up way. Thereon it will support data sharing, decision making and problem-solving faster and more cost effectively than ever before.
