From Local to Global SDI initiatives: a pyramid of building blocks
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a strong hierarchical relationship among different political/administrative levels of SDI concepts. Based on this hierarchical relationship a pyramid of building blocks can be formed by taking a perspective that starts at a local level and proceeds through state, national and regional levels and is completed by developing a Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI). Therefore, it is argued that by better understanding and demonstrating the nature of this hierarchical relationship, GSDI development can gain support from a wider community of both government and non-government data users and providers. The aim of this paper is to contribute to GSDI development in general and its organisational framework in particular. This is achieved by: a) Reviewing the results of a comparative study between different levels of SDIs; and b) Demonstrating a relationship between different components within an SDI, in comparison with other levels of SDIs.

Key issues include sustaining a cul...
متن کاملBuilding SDIs – The Challenges Ahead
The spatial information vision for most countries is to create a virtual state where any spatial information is available to any user, any time and any place. This is a simplistic vision that presents many challenges, with the major challenge being the creation of a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) to support the vision. Importantly unless we can agree on a spatial information vision for each ...
