2. General Information 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 The project has been implemented in cooperation with Warsaw University of Technology, Academy of Mining and Metallurgy in Cracow, Warmia-Mazury University in Olsztyn, Silesian University as well as other units and individual experts and consultants

3. General Information 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 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
