SHARE is an effort by the Geographic Information Support

of a systematic and structured approach to obtaining and using
specific types of information in major emergencies. This effort
aims to be broad-based and participatory, involving extensive
consultation with actors involved in all levels of international
humanitarian management.

- Metadata
standards
A metadata standard allows for a wide
consistent approach to description, discovery, evaluation
and management of information resources. Metadata refers
to Information about a data resource itself, including who
collected the information (the source), when it was collected
and sometimes other details such as what standards and indicators
were used, and how the data was measured or derived. It is
useful to evaluate the credibility, relevance and usefulness
of the information.
- Global
Symposium +5 ‘Information for Humanitarian Action’
Global Symposium +5 ‘Information
for Humanitarian Action’ took place in Geneva, Switzerland,
from the 22 – 26 October 2007 at the Palais des Nations.
It brought together a community of practice on humanitarian
information and shared knowledge of more than 300 humanitarian
information representatives from the international community.
It built upon a process that began five years earlier in
2002, at the Symposium
on Best Practices in Humanitarian Information Exchange, held in Geneva, where the Statement
on Best Practices for Humanitarian Information Management
and Exchange was endorsed. The principles flowing from the
statement were further developed in a series of regional
Humanitarian Information Network workshops in Bangkok, December
2003, Panama
City, August 2005, and Nairobi, May 2006.
