Open geospatial data in the European union – case study Croatia

The issue of open data, access, pricing and sharing has been on the "open table" for years. The business process of open data is not simple. There are pros and cons for companies, public institutions and citizens in general. On the European Union (EU) level, the Directive on open data and the re-use of public sector information, also known as the Open Data Directive, replaced the Public Sector Information (PSI) Directive. The Open Data Directive introduces the concept of six high-value datasets. One of them is geospatial data. This directive gives additional incentives to EU countries for faster implementation of open geospatial data, both in the legal and implementation frameworks. A special part of the implementation of the Open Data Directive refers to the sharing of geospatial data primarily using Geoportal's responsible institutions. It is also worth to mention that the concept of the high-value datasets is closely related with EU INSPIRE Directive which aims to establish Spatial Data Infrastructure in the EU
