Abstract

This paper presents a case study which highlights some aspects of local spatial data infrastructure (SDI) implementation in Germany. The study outlines the concrete situation as given in the South Western German State of Rheinland-Pfalz by discussing it in the context of the evolution at higher SDI levels represented by the INSPIRE initiative at the European level and by the GDI-DE initiative at the German national level. Special emphasis is given to the integration of communal SDIs within the local SDI level. Benefits of SDI application of land tools like urban planning, land-use regulation and property registration are shown. Integration of the communal SDI into the states’ SDI is illustrated.
