Status of Croatian NSDI

Article gives an overview of the status of the Croatian Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). New National Spatial Data Infrastructure Act is transposing INSPIRE Directive in Croatian legislative. It fulfills EU pre accession obligations of the Republic of Croatia. NSDI Act is making Croatian legislative compatible with EU, and it makes basis for development of Croatian NSDI. NSDI Act is defining State Geodetic Administration as National Contact Point (NCP). It is a new NSDI organizational body. NCP established and maintains Register of NSDI subjects and Register of NSDI spatial data resources. At the moment nearly 30 subjects and 70 sources of spatial data resources are registered in NSDI. NSDI registers are living documents. To define NSDI spatial data themes, NCP published document NSDI Definition of Data Specification Annex I and II Themes and Scope. NCP also published new version of NSDI Metadata Specification. In development are new regulations and documents as Strategy of Croatian NSDI, Agreement on Exchange, Access and Use of Spatial Data and Services in NSDI and NSDI Business Model. The NCP is working on establishing the NSDI Geoportal. Development of NSDI Geoportal is connected to financing through EU Instrument for Pre Accession Assistance project (IPA). The project started recently, after more years preparations. The first realize of NSDI Geoportal can be expected soon. To promote NSDI, data sharing and exchange of knowledge NCP is regularly updating NSDI web site (http://www.nipp.hr), organizing traditionally annual NSDI and INSPIRE Days conferences, organizing NSDI Workshops with NSDI subjects and promoting NSDI on other conferences. Considering future development, after transposing INSPIRE Directive in Croatian legislative by NSDI Act, new development platform is defined. Several new obligations and responsibilities are defined. System of monitoring and reporting to EU should be developed.
