Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) Development

Countries around the world are developing spatial data infrastructure (SDI) to facilitate easy electronic access to and use of geographical information stored in a complex web of public and private sector data bases, most commonly through the Internet. Our approach to SDI development encompasses the:

• geospatial data;
• technologies;
• interoperability standards;
• information delivery mechanisms;
• data access and use policies; and
• organizational structures

needed to support easy access to a wide range of geospatial information, regardless of its physical location.

Spatial Information Applications Development
