Abstract

The chapter focuses on geospatial data infrastructure. The mass of data needed for public policy planning could come from various sources. The chapter discusses the participatory approaches for the realization of open and interoperable systems and presents the geospatial data infrastructure approach to address this issue: core data sets, standards, institutional and legal arrangements, technology and capacity building. The environment in which the system is designed impacts the technological solution: legal and institutional framework, compliance with standards, availability of human resources, sustainability in terms of financial resources. The chapter examines experiences at the international level to draw best practices for implementing national and thematic GDI.
