The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) was envisioned as a way of enhancing the accessibility, communication, and use of geospatial data to support a wide variety of decisions at all levels of society. The goals of the NSDI are to reduce redundancy in geospatial data creation and maintenance, reduce the costs of geospatial data creation and maintenance, improve access to geospatial data, and improve the accuracy of geospatial data used by the broader community. At the core of the NSDI is the concept of partnerships, or collaborations, between different agencies, corporations, institutions, and levels of government. In a previous report, the Mapping Science Committee (MSC) defined a partnership as "...a joint activity of federal and state agencies, involving one or more agencies as joint principals focusing on geographic information." The concept of partnerships was built on the foundation of shared responsibilities, shared costs, shared benefits, and shared control. Partnerships are designed to share the costs of creation and maintenance of geospatial data, seeking to avoid unnecessary duplication, and to make it possible for data collected by one agency at a high level of spatial detail to be used by another agency in more generalized form. Over the past seven years, a series of funding programs administered by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) has stimulated the creation of such partnerships, and thereby promoted the objectives of the NSDI, by raising awareness of the need for a coordinated national approach to geospatial data creation, maintenance, and use. They include the NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program, the Framework Demonstration Projects Program, the Community Demonstration Projects, and the Community-Federal Information Partnerships proposal. This report assesses the success of the FGDC partnership programs that have been established between the federal government and state and local government, industry, and academic communities in promoting the objectives of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure.

Directive 2007/2/EC (INSPIRE) entered into force in 2007 with the goal to establish a European Union (EU) Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to support EU's environmental policies. The Directive was complemented by a complex legal framework detailing requirements on data provision, which was in turn accompanied by technical guidelines and the establishment of a governance structure involving Member States in the maintenance and evolution of the Directive. After more than 10 years since its inception and at the end of its legally defined roadmap leading to the evaluation by 1 January 2022, INSPIRE has entered a new milestone as the European Commission's recent focus on the green and digital transformation holds the potential to make it a key tool for the successful (environmental) data sharing in Europe. The objective of this report is twofold. First, we summarise the main developments of the pan-European INSPIRE SDI happened so far from the technical and organisational perspectives, describing the current implementation state of play through multiple dimensions: data availability, governance approaches, available technological stack, influence and role of standardisation bodies and community development. This precedes a critical assessment of what has, and has not, worked well in the development of the infrastructure. Building on such lessons learnt, in the second part of the report we offer a vision for the future evolution of the INSPIRE SDI with a five to ten year horizon in mind. This ambitious vision takes into consideration the current EU policy context as well as the disruptive technological trends bringing new data sources, actors, standards and architectures as new players in the (geospatial) data sharing field. The vision is structured around a set of legal, organisational and technological actions, which are largely extensible to any policy-driven SDI. This makes the lessons learned from INSPIRE also applicable to the broader field of data initiatives. The key conclusion of this report, embedded in the vision, is that in order to remain fit for purpose it is desirable that traditional SDIs evolve from complex and highly specialised frameworks to more sustainable, flexible and agile data ecosystems, lowering the entry level to non-specialists and welcoming an increased participation from less traditional stakeholders (e.g. open source software communities, standardisation bodies and early adopters) in addition to data providers and users. Concretely, at the European level this highlights the need to simplify and modernise the INSPIRE technological framework and to establish a distributed governance structure at multiple levels. It would be hard to imagine a more effective way for INSPIRE to blend within the common European data space envisioned by the recent European Strategy for Data, allowing a seamless and user-centric data exploitation to address an increasing range of societal needs.

SDI expert Ian Masser provides a practical introduction to the tasks involved in building a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) and makes clear how Europeans are taking advantage of geographic information technologies to help their citizens have quick access to location-based information. He also illuminates the critical collaboration that is necessary between public and private agencies to develop the ""infrastructure for spatial information in Europe"" (INSPIRE) the as well as the partnerships built between public and private sectors than enable sharing information and better decision-making. Europeans are building spatial data infrastructures (SDI) to create a multinational system of sharing information throughout the European Union and this book shows how.

Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is defined as a framework of policies, institutional arrangements, technologies, data, and people that enables the sharing and effective usage of geographic information by standardizing formats and protocols for access and interoperability. The goals of SDI are to: 1) reduce duplication of efforts among governments, 2) lower costs related to geographic information while making geographic data more accessible, 3) increase the benefits of using available spatial data, and 4) establish key partnerships between states, counties, cities, academia, and the private sector. SDI should be seen as part of wider e- Government initiatives. Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) is a European Union (EU) directive that came into force on May 15, 2007, binding EU members to establish a spatial data infrastructure via the Internet that facilitates the sharing of geographic information in a standardized way. INSPIRE addresses technical and nontechnical issues, ranging from standards, organizational and procedural issues, and data policies, to the creation and maintenance of electronic services. INSPIRE is a legal framework for developing SDI throughout the EU in order to facilitate interoperability, that is, the improvement and sharing of information across various levels of government in all EU countries.

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are key for effective cross-border data-sharing. A Spatial Data Infrastructure is "a framework of policies, institutional arrangements, technologies, data, and people that enable the sharing and effective usage of geographic." As such, they can play a pivotal role in digital government transformation. The present study demonstrates how geospatial data from multiple countries can be used to develop location powered insights. In addition, it provides information on the types of enabling environments that can foster data-driven innovation. The overarching question that the study seeks to respond to is: "What is the current state of play on sharing and using geospatial data across European borders? What can we learn from these practices to support the evolution of Spatial Data Infrastructures?" The study builds on the analysis of data collected through desk research, eight case studies and a dedicated workshop. The case studies, through customised interviews, provide first-hand knowledge and experiences on the exchange of geospatial data across borders in the European context of public, private and non-profit organisations. Insights include benefits such as improved collaboration, economic gains, improved access to information, and new and improved services. Among the challenges that emerged are worth mentioning the lack of technical and organisational interoperability to establish a sustainable ecosystem with a culture of sharing data, including problems with licensing, data portability and privacy issues. This study forms part of the European Location Interoperability Solutions for e-Government (ELISE) action of the European Interoperability solutions for public administrations, businesses and citizens Programme, better known by its acronym ISA. ELISE aims to facilitate the cross-border use of location data and support the digital transformation of public services.
