NSDI - Poland The research project "Concept of the Polish Spatial Information System”, commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior and Administration and financed by the State Committee for Scientific Research were conducted by the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography in Warsaw

NSDI - Poland The main aim of the project was to propose a general concept of the national spatial information system (SIS), which would function as an integrated system, based on existing and future geographic information systems The main user: governmental and local administration The works were conducted in the thematic blocks, comprising the following tasks: SIS users and their needsSIS users and their needs conceptual model of SISconceptual model of SIS informational and legal aspects of SISinformational and legal aspects of SIS the technical and functional architecture of SISthe technical and functional architecture of SIS an economic model of SISan economic model of SIS a final conceptual version of the Polish Spatial Information Systema final conceptual version of the Polish Spatial Information System

Concept vs. reality Concept vs. reality SIS Centres Proposal: Centres of Geodetic and Cartographic Resources (ODGiK) as SIS centres Reality: ~ 400 ODGiKs on local level, 16 – on regional level, CODGiK very early studypreparing to run National Geodetic and Cartographic Resources in digital form very early study of preparing to run National Geodetic and Cartographic Resources in digital form

Concept vs. reality Concept vs. reality The National Council for Spatial Information Proposal: to establish the national, inter-ministerial council for SIS with an executive committee Reality: the informal team for geoinformation (called into being by the Surveyor General of Poland)

Concept vs. reality Exist: technical sources (computer and telecommunication equipment) for collecting, archiving, accessing and interchanging data the staff with good professional knowledge Lack of: coordination efficient implementation and organization proper legal regulations

Future role of the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography - an executive office of the National SIS Council - cooperation with the Surveyor General of Poland - promotion of legal regulations - promotion of proper IS designing methods (state of art) - promotion of creating metadata databases - promotion of standards (norms) - cooperations with other countries organisations (EU)
