Coordination of geographic information within the federal administration

The federal administration and semi-public organisations supply geodata and geoservices in a variety of ways and with the aid of differing infrastructure. In order to ensure that all interest groups are able to access this data and these services quickly and efficiently, a common strategy and effective coordination are essential. The Coordinating Agency for Federal Geographic Information (GCG) is responsible for this. At the operational level, this task is performed by the Coordination, Geo-Information and Services division (COGIS) of swisstopo.
