A spatial data infrastructure is a technical and organizational structure, based on cooperation and constituted through coordinated agreements on technology standards, institutional arrangements and promotion policies, which aims to facilitate discovery, knowledge, access to and use of geospatial information available in a territorial area via the Internet by society as a whole.
Access to information from a spatial data infrastructure takes place through geoportals that provide geospatial information metadata catalog services; data visualization services, via web mapping services; location services, by means of addresses and nomenclatures; and, eventually, other types of specific geoservices, in addition to downloads of data, documents or other geospatial information resources.
