“…The term is widely used in the scientific literature (Craig, 1995;Masser, 1998;Rajabifard, 2003;Van Loenen, 2006;Williamson, 2003) and an investigation on how often the words "awareness" and "spatial data" occur on the same webpage comes up with more than 378,000 hits (http: //www.google.com, 13 August 2006).…”

Awareness as a foundation for developing effective spatial data infrastructures

et al. 2009

a b s t r a c tThe development of an effective spatial data infrastructure (SDI) often occurs in a fragmented organizational environment requiring a high level of inter-organizational collaboration. Different organizations from various jurisdictions need to work together closely when agreeing on how they will jointly register, store, use and share data and how they will make their data available to the wider society. However, this collaboration is generally regarded as very difficult. For example people often resist data sharing across organizational boundaries due to loss of control, power and independency. Organizational issues are thus considered one of the fundamental constraints to inter-organizational sharing of spatial data.How can we overcome these constraints?In the spatial community, the term awareness is often regarded as a tool for minimizing problems concerned with inter-organizational collaboration. However, a major problem in using the term awareness in discussions of inter-organizational collaboration is that awareness is undefined and often misused as a term in the community. The (over)-use of the term awareness, without having a rigorous definition to rely on makes it harder to understand and develop collaboration issues. The difficulty in quantifying and describing issues in collaboration makes the development of effective SDIs problematic for the developers of these structures. This paper therefore suggests that the development of SDIs should be based on a conceptual framework that clearly addresses the problems spatial organizations currently encounter.As a result, the focus of this paper is on the nature and role of awareness. It explores why and how awareness plays a fundamental role in overcoming organizational constraints and in developing collaboration between organizations. The paper discusses the concept of awareness in the area of organizational collaboration in the spatial community, explains the important role awareness plays in the development of spatial data infrastructures, and introduces a methodology to promote awareness. Furthermore, the paper aims to make people in the community more aware of the use of the term "awareness"-when to use it, how to use it and especially important, how not to use it. The paper will investigate awareness in the field of land administration systems.

“…There is, however, always interaction between the elements of the infrastructure and this interaction is a condition for further development of the infrastructure [6]. SDIs can be also seen as a framework continuously facilitating the efficient and effective generation, dissemination and use of needed spatial information within a community or between communities [7].…”

The Strategy for the Development of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the Czech Republic

Spatial information is often not effectively handled and used, e.g., in public administration. The key reason is that information about what spatial data exists, and where and under which circumstances it can be used, is missing. This leads to a situation whereby data are gathered and maintained multiple times. In October 2014, the Czech government approved the conception of The Strategy for the Development of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the Czech Republic to 2020 (GeoInfoStrategy), which serves as a basis for the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). Furthermore, in June 2015 the GeoInfoStrategy Action Plan was approved. The vision of the GeoInfoStrategy is that the Czech Republic will use spatial information effectively by 2020. The innovative approach of the GeoInfoStrategy to build the NSDI includes cooperation between all parties-not only public administration, but also the private sector, academia, professional associations and user communities. The principles defined in the GeoInfoStrategy are general and can serve as best practice for other countries building an NSDI that should meet the requirements of all target groups working with spatial information.
