terzi dopo la germania e la spagna!
si continua con il tifo da stadio, ma pare che l'Italia sia davvero un
gran posto per i GIS liberi.

Interesting to see Germany and Spain really significantly more active
and that the UK is *not* among the few very responsive countries,
which surprises me given the situation that geodata is in here.
Perhaps a lot of this comes down to press/blog coverage and the
activity of local groups, as much as reflecting the intensity of
interest in the issue. Perhaps we're more resigned to proprietary
stance here, and in different civic information environments in
different countries the propositions of INSPIRE seem more extreme,
more unlike the current art and desired state...?
