Paris, France – March 13th, 2008

IGN, the French National Geographic Institute, has chosen Active Circle to set up its geographical information archiving system. This archiving project relates to all the geographic datasets that IGN produces and is required to keep due to their importance in terms of information and heritage. This, in particular, concerns the historical aerial photograph datasets of which it is the custodian. The everincreasing volume of data will ultimately amount to several hundred terabytes.
