Spatial Data Infrastructure for knowledge sharing
Zeeuw, Kees de & Christiaan Lemmen
Todayys global challenges have a substantial magnitude: climate, ecosystems, resources, nature, disasters and population. Those issues relate to the development and protection of our economy, our society and our environment, referred to as the principles for sustainable development: people - profit - planet. For the purpose of good governance and corporate social responsibility, governments and companies need to have access to state of the art tools, products and services. In modern systems, geospatial information plays a key role, provided through Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). This paper shows how Dutch Kadaster contributes to the national SDI of the Netherlands, being aware of the fact that our information, products and services contribute to knowledge sharing for sustainable development. Good governance, the development of e-government services and growing towards a spatially enabled society, are basic elements in our national strategy, asking for a good functioning SDI.
