Geographic Information Systems and GI Giving decision-makers in business and government the power to make more informed decisions using the spatial and temporal dimensions Why do we need all this data and information? To reduce losses from natural and human induced disasters, for prevention and early warning, to improve human health & well-being, for better business/resource management and improved governance Spatial data infrastructure To encourage the collection, processing, archiving, integration, and sharing of geospatial data and information using common standards and interoperable systems and techniques ….. and accessible via the web Mission goals of GSDI Association The Association promotes international cooperation and collaboration in support local, national, cross-country and international SDI developments that Will allow nations to better address social, economic and environmental issues of pressing importance It is an inclusive non-governmental, non-profit organisation of organisations, firms, and individuals from around the world formed exlusively for educational, scientific and research purposes
Activities are in line with the vision and goals of GSDI: Foster SDI development locally and globally Promote access data at a variety of scales and from multiple sources, common standards, interoperable systems and techniques Promote and develop awareness and exchanges establishing a knowledge portal For all things related to SDI Facilitate data discovery and access Stimulate and conduct capacity building by small grants, conferences, workshops Encourae and conduct SDI development research Engage partners to help and provide consultancy (e.g. Moldavia)

Legislative SDI Framework in the EU: INSPIRE Directive Principles Data should be collected onceand maintained at the level, where this can be done most effectively Combine seamlessly spatial data from different sources across the EU and share it between many users and applications Spatial data should be collected at one level of government and shared between all levels of government Spatial data needed for good governance should be available on conditions that are not restricting its extensive use It should be easy to discover which spatial data is available, to evaluate its applicability for purpose and to know which conditions apply for its use
Legislative Framework in the EU: INSPIRE Directive Data sets concerned Annex I Coordinate reference systems Geographical grid systems Geographical names Administrative units Addresses Cadastral parcels Transport networks Hydrography Protected sites Annex II Elevation, Land cover, Identifiers of properties, Ortho-imagery, Geology Annex III Thematic data incl. Buildings, Land use, Human healths, Utilities and Governmental services etc • Harmonised data specification • geometrically • semantically • logically • topology • quality standards
