Geonetwork
is an integral part of the spatial information infrastructure
being developed by FAO which aims to improve access to and
integrated use of spatial information to aid decision making
for suitainable development among FAO member countries and
stakeholders using the internet as an interoperable information
exchange mechanism between UN Agencies, intergovernmental
organizations and NGO's. Geonetwork allows individuals and organizations to work interactively and visually with FAO's vast wealth of map and related information, making the earth's geography a starting point for finding, retrieving and using information. This includes population density, infrastructure, administrative boundaries, land cover/use, soils, resources, Livestock distribution, nutrition profiles and early warning information.
