Agreement on the syntax and formats of spatial data and developing systems to handle these is the first step towards the spatial information infrastructure (SII). Although a set of standards has already been established, a wealth of other technical and non-technical aspects must still be addressed.

More DescriptionAgreement on the syntax and formats of spatial data and developing systems to handle these is the first step towards the spatial information infrastructure (SII). Although a set of standards has already been established, a wealth of other technical and non-technical aspects must still be addressed. Creating Spatial Information Infrastructures covers these issues in depth. This book reflects major initiatives to create an SII, including the European INSPIRE initiative and the US DHS Geospatial Data Model. International contributors present information on standardization efforts for SII. The text also discusses semantic web technologies.
