The intent was to build a comprehensive and standard information system across the South Atlantic UK Overseas Territories and to overcome the lack of a single information space\/network where data can be discovered, accessed and stored. The Falkland Islands data centre is what the IMS-GIS data centre has become, and is the central data repository for all the environmental data collected within the Falklands by local and international organisations and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data management policy and the procedures are available at SAERI, FIG, FC and SMSG websites.
