Faculty OTB Research Institute for the Built Environment Department OTB Onderzoek Date 2010-12-31 Abstract Implementation processes of geoinformation-infrastructures are generally seen as problematic and unsuccessful. Implementers are inclined to value organisational aspects of NGII development using design rules, borrowed from political science, economics and management science. A big gap exists between on the one hand the wish to implement SDIs using fashionable management models, and on the other hand the inability to accomplish that. This article wants to shed light on implementation processes of geoinformationinfrastructures using a narratively inspired ethnographic method. Within the Dutch geoinformation sector two ethnographies are presented and analysed. It leads to the conclusion that a narrative anchor is a non-technological and non-tangible decisive element in a geoinformation infrastructure.
