A Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) provides a basis for spatial data discovery, evaluation, and application for various users and sectors. It enables availability and access to organized spatial data through coordination across different levels of government and sectors. The document outlines components of an SDI including policies and standards, data, technology, and partnerships to enable data sharing. It also discusses reasons for transitioning GIS systems to SDIs, including interoperability, data access, and economic benefits. The proposed NSDI for Pakistan would provide a framework for federal enterprises to enable open access to spatial data through a centralized website and metadata catalog.
