Challenges for SDI
• Regional approaches for LA and therefore
decentralization of infrastructure beneficial compared to
centralized approaches,
• Data exchange between actors / data storages,
• Data models not (well) documented
• Quality control independently from data supplier (like
completeness, logical consistency and thematic
accuracy)?
