The Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI) has published the GSDI Cookbook in a wiki environment and would like to invite contributions to this resource from a broad community of geographic data providers and users. The GSDI Cookbook wiki provides the necessary background information to evaluate and implement existing components of SDI. The GSDI Cookbook including topics on data development, visualization, discovery, standards, legal and economic issues, community building, and case studies.

In light of the rapidly evolving technological environment that SDI operates within, we would especially encourage contributions and updates to the GSDI Cookbook in the areas of service interoperability, data discovery, and data visualization.
