The interdisciplinary national spatial data interest community HUNAGI (Hungarian Association for Geo-information) was established in Hungary in 1994 to promote the access and use of of Geographical Information by improving coordination, co-operation, networking, exchange of information and knowledge transfer. The operation was integrated into the European and global level activities when HUNAGI became member of the European Umbrella Organisation of Geographic Information (EUROGI), and joined the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure initiative in 1996. Recently HUNAGI is also involved in the ISDE activities to share the Digital Earth vision, to strengthen horizontal ie.interagency, governmental-NGO, public-private partnership and interdisciplinary links and to facilitate interoperable services in the interest of users with special emphasis on the European and global initiatives such as INSPIRE, GEOSS respectively. Its member institutions and organisations representing disciplines related to the subsurface, natural surface (land, waters) and atmosphere are dealing with R+D and/or applications in renawable and non-renawable natural resources, monitoring, modeling and simulating processes, interactions and phenomena.
