A twinning experience in prototyping a NSDI in Romania
Bulens, Jandirk, Marcel Schram, Gabriela Dragan & Daniela Docan
As part of the PHARE Twinning project Geodetic network modernization and spatial data infrastructure framework in 2007-2008 the Romanian National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) and the Dutch Kadaster International developed an operational prototype according to the principles of INSPIRE and international spatial standards. The prototype is meant to demonstrate the set up of a Geoportal and itts functioning. There are two Geoportals set up. One will act as a National Geoportal for discovery of spatial information. The other is an organizational Geoportal (data delivery or download portal) to provide information and access to the geo-products of the ANCPI. For the National Geoportal the selection of the data to be included is defined by trying to describe a real world use case. In cooperation with the Ministry of Regional Development and Housing a collection of data sets was identified in the process of regional planning. The area selected is the municipality Faurei in the Braila county For this area data were available from an earlier project in a digital format. The ANCPI Geoportal is set up as a web shop portal to find, view, display metadata and to create a shopping list ready to be ordered. Since the Geoportal will act as a demonstrator no real order and payment service is included.
