2. 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.
