Geographic information - Spatial data infrastructures - Part 3: Data centric view

Part 3 of the Technical Report describes a data-centric view of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). The Data Centric view addresses the concepts of semantic interoperability, the methodology for developing data specifications through the application of the relevant International Standards, and the content of such specifications including Application Schemas, Feature Catalogues, General Feature Model, Data Lifecycle Management and Data Quality, Data Access and Data Transformation.
The intended readership of this Technical Report are those people who are responsible for creating frameworks for SDI, experts contributing to INSPIRE, experts in information and communication technologies and e-government that need to familiarise themselves with geographic information and SDI concepts, and standards developers and writers.

Geoinformation - Geodateninfrastrukturen - Teil 3: Datenzentrierte Sicht

Teil 3 dieses Technischen Berichts beschreibt eine datenzentrierte Sicht einer Geodateninfrastruktur (GDI). Diese datenzentrierte Sicht befasst sich mit der semantischen Interoperabilität, der Methodik für die Entwicklung von Datenspezifikationen durch Anwendung der zutreffenden internationalen Normen sowie dem Inhalt dieser Spezifikationen, darunter Anwendungsschemata, Feature-Kataloge, allgemeines Feature-Modell (General Feature Model), Datenlebenszyklus Management und Datenqualität, Datenzugriff sowie Datentransformation.
Der vorliegende Technische Bericht wendet sich an die Entwickler von GDI Rahmenrichtlinien, an die an der Erarbeitung der INSPIRE Richtlinie beteiligten Fachleute, Experten auf dem Gebiet der Informations  und Kommunikationstechnologie und des E Governments, die sich mit Geoinformations  und GDI Konzepten vertraut machen müssen, sowie an die Entwickler und Autoren von Normen und Standards.

Geografske informacije - Infrastrukture za prostorske podatke - 3. del: Podatkovno usmerjen vidik

3. del tehničnega poročila opisuje podatkovno usmerjen vidik infrastrukture za prostorske podatke (SDI). Podatkovno usmerjeni vidik obravnava pojme semantične interoperabilnosti, metodologijo za pripravo podatkovnih specifikacij z uporabo ustreznih mednarodnih standardov in vsebino tovrstnih specifikacij, vključno s sistemi uporabe, katalogi lastnosti, splošnim modelom lastnosti, upravljanjem z življenjskim ciklom podatkov ter kakovostjo podatkov, dostopom do podatkov in pretvorbo podatkov. To tehnično poročilo je namenjeno ciljnim skupinam ljudi, ki so odgovorni za oblikovanje okvirov infrastrukture za prostorske podatke, strokovnjakom, ki prispevajo k direktivi INSPIRE, strokovnjakom na področju informacijskih in komunikacijskih tehnologij, e-upravi, ki se mora seznaniti s konceptoma geografskih informacij in infrastrukture za prostorske podatke, ter pripravljavcem in avtorjem standardov.

Introduction
Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is a general term for the computerised environment for handling data that
relates to a position on or near the surface of the earth. It may be defined in a range of ways, in different
circumstances, from the local up to the global level.
This Technical Report focuses on the technical aspects of SDIs, thereby limiting the term SDI to mean an
implementation neutral technological infrastructure for geospatial data and services, based upon standards
and specifications. It does not consider an SDI as a carefully designed and dedicated information system;
rather, it is viewed as a collaborative framework of disparate information systems that contain resources that
stakeholders desire to share. The common denominator of SDI resources, which can be data or services, is
their spatial nature. It is understood that the framework is in constant evolution, and that therefore the
requirements for standards and specifications supporting SDI implementations evolve continuously.
SDIs are becoming more and more linked and integrated with systems developed in the context of e-
Government. Important drivers for this evolution are the Digital Agenda for E
