Spatial scientific research has increasingly become multidisciplinary. The need for different disciplines to share thematic knowledge and information has increased. However, not many Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have succeeded in facilitating the needs of these multidisciplinary research communities. This article provides a methodological framework for the development of a user-centric SDI and applies it to the academic community that researches the history and heritage of urban and…

Exploring the Emergence of Open Spatial Data Infrastructures: Analysis of Recent Developments and Trends in Europe

In the past 20 years, European public authorities have invested considerable resources in the development of spatial data infrastructures. With the European INSPIRE Directive as an important driver,…

Governing Open Spatial Data Infrastructures: The Case of the United Kingdom

In order to facilitate and coordinate the sharing of spatial data, governments worldwide have been developing Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) for many years. Recently, technological,…

The digital cultural biography, a tool for interdisciplinary knowledge exchange on the history and heritage of the urban landscape

Geocraft as a Means to Support the Development of Smart Cities, Getting the People of the Place Involved - Youth Included -

Geocraft is concluded that as an easy to use smart visualisation tool, in which everybody can build future scenarios, Geocraft can be used to get the people of the place involved with geospatial issues.

One Archaeology: A Manifesto for the Systematic and Effective Use of Mapped Data from Archaeological Fieldwork and Research

The full potential of spatial data from archaeological research can and should be realised through ARIADNE, and SDIs deliver more efficient data management and release economic value by saving time and money.

Mapping Our Heritage: Towards a Sustainable Future for Digital Spatial Information and Technologies in European Archaeological Heritage Management

The enormous increase in digital spatial information has led archaeologists all over Europe to rely ever more on digital data to prepare and carry out archaeological research, both in academic and…

Governance of national spatial data infrastructures in Europe

The effective development and implementation of spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) requires governance in order to avoid gaps, duplications, contradictions and missed opportunities in the…

Historical Spatial-Data Infrastructures for Archaeology: Towards a Spatiotemporal Big-Data Approach to Studying the Postindustrial City

While the use of geographic information systems (GIS) has become commonplace within the discipline of archaeology, the potential of a big-data approach to GIS is yet to be fully exploited within…

Spatial Education for Different User Groups as a Prerequisite for Creating a Spatially Enabled Society and Leveraging SDI

This paper argues that “Spatial Citizenship” seems to be an appropriate education approach to train user groups as pupils/ students and adults (non-GI professionals), who demand for different education initiatives adjusted to their particular situation.

INSPIRE: An Innovative Approach to the Development of Spatial Data Infrastructures in Europe Concepts

The analysis of the development of spatial data infrastructures across the world indicates a shift from a first generation that was product-oriented and focused on the development or completion of…

Involving users in the process of using and sharing geo-information within the context of SDI initiatives

Three reasons are given why a wider public should be reached to communicate the on-going developments of SDI and justify the invested resources to the wider public and some ideas are given how to raise the awareness of the broader public on SDI, using mass communication.

Reconsidering the definition of a spatial data infrastructure

A critical re-examination of the SDI literature is provided by using Ashby's formal theory of regulation, which sees infrastructures as regulatory devices, to identify the strengths and weaknesses of several SDI definitions.

Towards 3D Spatial Data Infrastructures (3D-SDI) based on open standards — experiences, results and future issues

The creation of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) has been an important and actively studied topic in geoscience research for years. It is also regarded in politics and by decision makers as…

The role of sub‐national government and the private sector in future spatial data infrastructures

The development of SDIs throughout the world over the past 15 years and the leadership role of national governments in SDI creation are reviewed, with particular reference to the increasingly important role played by sub‐national governments and the private sector within the framework of SDI development.

Developing a Spatial Data Infrastructure for Archaeological and Built Heritage

Business reasons for adopting a more expansive interpretation of what information should be considered as and distributed as part of the Protected Sites theme are explored in order to support policies and activities that impact upon the wider historic environment.

User-centric SDI: Addressing Users Requirements in Third- Generation SDI. The Example of Nature-SDIplus

This work proposed the application of the interdisciplinary and wide-ranging concept of usability relating to commonly known software development processes as solution to design a user-centric, third-generation SDI.

The recent development of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI), the reasons justifying a specific research effort on SDIs, the areas of research that are currently central to their further development and use, and their relationships with research in the field of GI Science are discussed.

GEOSS Service Factory: Assisted Publication of Geospatial Content

This paper suggests extending classical GII architectures with a service that assists in content publication, and introduces a prototype as a proof of concept to be evaluated in a forest fire information system.
