Pampiona: 1 June 2008

The eContentplus funded project EURopean ADdresses Infrastructure (EURADIN) has commenced work at the beginning of June 2008 and will run through until 31 May 2010. One of the first tasks the EURADIN project has undertaken is liaison with the INSPIRE Thematic Working Group on Addresses.

EURADIN has 30 partners from 16 countries and will build upon the work undertaken or underway within many European Member States.

The EURADIN project abstract states:

“EURADIN (European Addresses Infrastructure) aims at constituting a Best Practice Network to promote the European Addresses harmonization. The emphasis will be put in defining how access to existing address data should be made to ensure the interoperability of existing address data and working out a strategy on how to build up access services to national or regional addresses infrastructures. The project main result will be the proposal for the European addresses Infrastructure and the implementation, testing, and validation of a pilot European Addresses Infrastructure. The results shall be used as a reference for all European Member States to fulfil the INSPIRE recommendations with respect to addresses.”
