Study of the Socio-economic Impact of the Spatial Data Infrastructure in the region of Catalunya: Executive Summary In January 2006, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission organised a workshop to review best practice in the assessment of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs), compare methodologies and findings, and see also what lessons could be learned from similar large scale infrastructures. Among the key findings of that workshop were the need to give priority to longitudinal studies of SDIs in progress, paying particular attention to sub-national/regional SDIs, and to application-driven approaches able to identify more easily stakeholders, user communities, and potential benefits. As a follow-up of that workshop, the Spatial Data Infrastructures Unit of the JRC commissioned a study of the socio-economic impact of the SDI in Catalunya to the Centre of Land Policy and Valuations of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. The one-year study, which was concluded in December 2007, had the following objectives: - Analyse the cost and benefits related with the setup and maintenance of the Catalan SDI as well as the services utilised by different organisations and user groups; - Define clear and transparent methodologies for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the socioeconomic benefits of SDI; - Critically evaluate the lessons learned from the study as input for future research in this important field. The Executive Summary is now available at: http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/reports/Study_reports/SDI_Catalunya_Execsummary.pdf and the full report wil be published later, accessible via the EC's INSPIRE web site at: http://inspire.jrc.it ------------------------------ Never miss a thing.
