What is a Spatial Data Infrastructure ?
All the materials, technologies, and people necessary to acquire, process, store and distribute
geographic information to meet a variety of needs.

Difficulties in the Past
• Incompatible and fragmented information• Lack of use of standards• Lack of data• Lack of cross-border co-ordination• Lack of co-operation within governments• Data policy restrictions

The Good News
• All the ingredients for success are present• The technology is there• The expertise has been brought together• The political will is building• The opportunity to make it happen for real this
time is NOW ! (cue: hooray)

The INSPIRE Objective
The preparation of a framework legislative act aimed at making available relevant, harmonised
and quality geographic information for the purpose of the formulation, implementation,
monitoring and evaluation of Community environmental policy-making

INSPIRE Principles (1)
• Data should be collected once and maintained at a level where this can be done most efficiently
• It should be possible to combine spatial information from different sources across Europe in a seamless way, and to share it amongst many users and applications
• It should be possible for information collected at one level to be shared with other levels

INSPIRE Principles (2)
• Geographic information needed for good governance at all levels should be readily available
• It should be simple to discover which geographic information is available and under what conditions it can be acquired and used
• Geographic data should be easy to understand and interpret, i.e. user-friendly
