Some of the contributors are from the geographical sciences, but most describe how they use spatial data infrastructure for research in other social sciences, including law, management, and sociology. They focus on non-technical aspects, expanding the theoretical base, introducing a range of methods, and incorporating empirical investigation and evidence with pragmatic implications. Readers are expected to be familiar with the tool itself and its features. The topics include institutional obstacles in implementing a land administration system in a developing country, coordinating between redundancy and efficiency in Uganda, the social network analysis of the spatial data infrastructure in Flanders, and enlisting spatial data infrastructure in the local practices of slum declaration as part of urban planning in India.

In the wake of the so-called information technology revolution, many stakeholders from the public and private sectors (including citizens) have indeed grown accustomed to the promise and usability of spatial data infrastructures (SDI) for data access, use, and sharing. Analyzing the obstacles as well as the processes and mechanisms of integration and implementation, Spatial Data Infrastructures in Context: North and South investigates the technological and the non-technological aspects of the widespread adoption of spatial data infrastructures.

Supporting theoretical issues with empirical studies, the editors pay particular attention to the non-technological aspects of organizational, financial, and legal issues including owner rights, liability, copyrights, and compatibility with precedent and supercedent laws. The authors also highlight the importance of understanding the local environment and circumstances in the process of tailoring the approaches to the conditions that characterize societies of different cultural, institutional, and economic settings.

Designed to improve the accessibility, interoperability, and affordability of spatial data, the book focuses on the increasing challenges associated with integrating individuals and organizations into a network to support (1) public authorities and administrations at various levels, (2) thematic user communities, (3) enterprises, and (4) citizen-oriented society as a whole. It addresses the implementation and development of spatial data infrastructures for a wide range of themes, applicable technical standards and protocols, and specific organizational issues unique to data policy.

Highlighting the potential for profound changes to the access, use, and exchange of spatial data for citizens, organizations, and geographically related applications, and therefore to the role and interaction of the stakeholders from the public and private sectors, this timely contribution provides new insights into improving our understanding of the increasing relevance, applicability, and value of spatial data infrastructures.

Recenzijas

This interesting book collects essays by established academics and early career scientists ... [ Chapter 5] is one of my favourite chapters in the book and I found the theoretical framework really helpful to explain behaviours present all over the world. ... Chapter 8 ... is definitively another highlight.... [ T]his fascinating chapter sheds light onto the real-world practice of information making ... The editors make a strong case for devoting more energy to understand the local, and the multiple rationalities in a socio-technical framework rather than using the architectural blueprint approach to develop an SDI. ... A good book, worth buying. Max Craglia, in International Journal of Geographical Information Science, Dec 2011
