Quality Control Role in Process of Establishment of Nsdi

The establishment of the Croatian National Spatial Data Infrastructure has started at the beginning of the 1990's. The main agitator of the activities was the State Geodetic Administration of the Republic of Croatia. They started to build the documentation that describe vision and goals, while through studies and pilot projects they developed procedures and exact steps for realization of the goals. SGA by definition and its internal structure does not have production capacities. The production phase is commended to the private geodetic companies in public and open tenders. The specific triangle was completed through foundation of Croatian Geodetic Institute (CGI) according to the Law on state survey and real estate (NN, 1999). Since 2001 when Quality Control started CGI gave active support on improvement of geodetic products, topographic maps, topographic vector data, digital terrain model and orthophoto. Some of these products are included in first Croatian Geoportal.
