3. SITAD 23/06/06 Luigi Garretti, Silvana Griffa, Roberta Lucà EC-GI & GIS Workshop Obstacles and Needs During the last years there was a great availability of geographic information, especially thanks to the work of public sector organisations. But often it cannot be fully used because quality spatial information is available only at local or regional level, and is difficult to transform it into seamless information. 3

4. SITAD 23/06/06 Luigi Garretti, Silvana Griffa, Roberta Lucà EC-GI & GIS Workshop Obstacles and Needs Moreover, dispersion or limited diffusion of spatial data and products, in collaboration with the lack of coordination among administrations, citizens and private sector, produces a fragmentary context, in which information exchange is really difficult. 4

5. SITAD 23/06/06 Luigi Garretti, Silvana Griffa, Roberta Lucà EC-GI & GIS Workshop Obstacles and Needs It is necessary to harmonize local level initiatives thus leading to a cross-border and interoperable geographic data. 5 Spatial Data Infrastructure SITAD

6. 23/06/06 Luigi Garretti, Silvana Griffa, Roberta Lucà EC-GI & GIS Workshop SITAD and Standards SITAD, the Spatial Data Infrastructure set up by Piedmont Region, makes it possible to share and collect information on geographic and environmental data, as well as products and services existing in different format, creating a regional framework. 6 SITAD

13. SITAD 23/06/06 Luigi Garretti, Silvana Griffa, Roberta Lucà EC-GI & GIS Workshop Technological improvements 13 SITAD is a regional SDI but it also implements technological solutions and carries out many initiatives which make it possible for the Infrastructure to overcome the local dimension in order to exchange data with other similar SDIs, at national and international level.

17. SITAD 23/06/06 Luigi Garretti, Silvana Griffa, Roberta Lucà EC-GI & GIS Workshop Non Technological improvements 17 SITAD has chosen to play an active role in the national and international debate (in the institutional forums) on harmonised spatial data specifications and in general on arrangements for the exchange of spatial data.

18. SITAD 23/06/06 Luigi Garretti, Silvana Griffa, Roberta Lucà EC-GI & GIS Workshop Non Technological improvements 18 For SITAD it is particularly important to implement the available local and regional best practices experiences in GI interoperable solutions and transfer them into coordinated disseminations actions to be transferred and spread across Europe.
