The Swedish national geodata strategy and the geodata project
Rannestig, Ewa & Ulf Sandgren
Abstract The Swedish Government and Parliament has given Lantmmteriet the Swedish Mapping, Cadastre and Land Registration Authority a role as coordinator of the national geodata infrastructure. The responsibility comprises coordination of production, cooperation, dissemination and research and development. The responsibility also includes coordination of the implementation of EC directives related to geodata, such as Inspire. The Swedish Government has also established a Geodata Advisory Board supporting Lantmmteriet in its coordination role. Furthermore, a National Geodata Strategy has been developed covering all strategic issues related to the handling of geodata in Sweden. Lantmmteriet is responsible to work out this strategy in close cooperation with the Geodata Advisory Board and other stakeholders. The basic aim of the National Geodata Strategy is to build up a national infrastructure for geodata and encourage increased co-operation within the geodata sector. The strategy should provide guidelines for all involved parties in Sweden. It should be the platform for creating the infrastructure and for participation in the European and international collaboration in this field. The implementation of the EC directive Inspire is an important part of the strategy. A Geodata Project has been established. During a period of three years the project will create a business model and technical infrastructure for how geodata and services will be made available for Swedish society and Europe.
