4. Change in the landscape
The need for greater access and sharing of public data; open data initiatives; the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies and the advent of the power of "place" driven by the expectations of users viewing, analyzing and using spatial data

5. Change in the landscape
This means increased communication and data exchange between maritime/hydrographic agencies and the stakeholders (both ways)

a data centric organization

8. Why is MSDI important to a HO?
Involvement in MSDI will elevate the importance of hydrography across a wider marine sector in-country and regionally as well as giving a wider user community exposure to the data and information that can be provided by the HO. It will also provide politicians with the information necessary for government per se, to gain a greater interest and understanding of the role of hydrography nationally.
