Project: SDI4Apps - Uptake of Open Geographic Information Through Innovative Services Based on Linked Data

Responsible organisation: University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Consortium)

The potential of geographic information (GI) collected by various actors ranging from public administration to voluntary initiatives of citizens is not fully exploited. The advancements of ICT technologies and shift towards Linked Open Data give floor to innovation.The establishment of SDIs has largely been driven by the "traditional" GI community and the national and European policies governing this sector. SDI4Apps seeks to build a cloud-based framework with open API for data integration focusing on the development of six pilot applications. The project draws along the lines of INSPIRE, Copernicus and GEOSS and aspires to build a WIN-WIN strategy for building a successful business for hundreds of SMEs on the basis of European spatial data infrastructures.
