The aim of the Appsforgeo.be day is to bring together Geo data-owners with application developers from enterprise , creative world… in order to get most out of the combination of available open geodatasets and aim for more open datasets. The appsforgeo.be day is also an interesting learning curve for public geo-authorities, data owners and other participants, in order to improve and ease the opening up of public data.
