Building European Spatial Data Infrastructures

The second edition of Building European Spatial Data Infrastructures explores the efforts of the European Union to create a framework for a multinational infrastructure for spatial information in Europe (INSPIRE) to exploit the myriad opportunities created by modern GIS technologies. While offering an overview of the innovative activities being performed by public and private sectors to comply with the INSPIRE Directive, the book explains the rationale and the processes involved in SDI development and implementation.|The second edition of Building European Spatial Data Infrastructures explores the efforts of the European Union to create a framework for a multinational infrastructure for spatial information in Europe (INSPIRE) to exploit the myriad opportunities created by modern GIS technologies.
