The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Conception NSDI is set of elements which provide the functionality for the interoperability of geographical information sources. The geographical information sources consist of: the geographical and spatial information (GI), the geographical information systems (GIS) and the information services (integration of GI, publication of GI, finding of GI, retrieval of GI, visualization of GI, geoprocessing and the creation of added value of GI). The elements of NSDI are: Metadata and catalogue services spatial data and data services, network services and technologies, the rules of sharing, accessing and exploitation of data and services, coordinating and monitoring mechanisms, processes and procedures. NSDI is not primarily about technology but about developing a clear framework of agreements between gomernment agencies, between government, the private sector and citizens on terms through which the use of public information can be maximized for the benefit of all.

The National Spatial Data Infrastructure Institutional Framework - the Ministry of Finance of the SR - central authority of state administration for informatisation of society the SR Government Office - control authority of state administration for informatisation of society Key players the Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Authority dominating role in the preparation of NSDI develops tasks in three main fields: geodetic control, real estate cadastre and state map series the Ministry of Environment has mandate to coordinate the implementation of INSPIRE directive Participating bodies of state administration private companies institutes of science - individuals NSDI web sites - examples Geoportal NSDI: http://www.geonet.sk Geoportal: http://www.geoportal.sk Cadastral portal: http://www.katasterportal.sk
