INSPIRE in Denmark and its impact on the Danish e-government
Storgaard, Lars Erik
The implementation of the INSPIRE Directive is well underway in Denmark. With law on Infrastructure for Spatial Information, Denmark has a solid foundation for the further development of the national infrastructure for spatial information. A development built upon a longstanding collaboration across the Danish public sector on common agreements and solutions. An example of a common solution is the geoportal geodata-infoo which consist and distribute metadata of the Danish spatial data and services among those the identified INSPIRE-data and services (e.g. view and download). The new common public digital strategy is focusing on reusing data. Public authorities detect a wide range of information about citizens, businesses, real estate, buildings, roads, etc. and a small but very important part of these data are used again and again across the entire public sector. Such data are called basic data. They are the foundation for the authorities to discharge their duties properly, for citizens and legal certainty for companies and for society as a whole performance. Therefore suggest the common public digital strategy to make certain basic data authoritative as a unique data foundation for e-government secured.
