Welcome to the EuroRoadS Workshop
on 9th of March 2006 in Paris:

Implementing and exploiting a European road data network

The aim of the workshop is to present the EuroRoadS work-in-progress and get feed-back for the remaining work especially concerning implementation and exploitation. The workshop addresses both producers and users of road data in Europe. 

The workshop will cover:

  • Aim and scope of EuroRoadS, including results from market analysis and user requirement surveys

  • EuroRoadS specification framework

  • Evaluation and quality management

  • Results from test activities

  • Business model and market outlook

  • Recommendations for implementation and exploitation

The workshop will include two break-out sessions, one on technical issues and one focused on business and market. Invitation and a detailed programme will be distributed at the end of January.

Remember to book the event in your calendar.


Final drafts of the EuroRoadS framework documents

The framework documents − specifications describing the information model, core data content, exchange model and exchange formats, as well as metadata and terminology catalogue − will be published as final drafts in mid January 2006, on www.euroroads.org.

All comments from the previously made review (autumn 2005) have been considered and included in the updated versions − final drafts. After the demonstration, the framework documents will be updated once again (August 2006), considering comments and viewpoints from the test and validation of the prototype.
