SITAD
Obstacles and Needs
During the last years there was a great availability of
geographic information, especially thanks to the
work of public sector organisations.
But often it cannot be fully used because quality
spatial information is available only at local or
regional level, and is difficult to transform it into
“seamless” information.

SITAD
Obstacles and Needs
Moreover, dispersion or limited diffusion of spatial
data and products, in collaboration with the lack
of coordination among administrations, citizens
and private sector, produces a fragmentary
context, in which information exchange is really
difficult.

Obstacles and Needs
Spatial Data Infrastructure
SITAD
It is necessary to harmonize local level
initiatives thus leading to a cross-border and
interoperable geographic data.

SITAD and Standards
SITAD
SITAD, the Spatial Data Infrastructure set up by Piedmont
Region, makes it possible to share and collect
information on geographic and environmental data, as
well as products and services existing in different
format, creating a regional framework.

SITAD
Technological improvements
SITAD is a regional SDI but it also implements
technological solutions and carries out many
initiatives which make it possible for the
Infrastructure to overcome the local dimension in
order to exchange data with other similar SDIs, at
national and international level.

Technological improvements
WebGIS viewer of SITAD puts one geographical
layer on another, and provides a simplified
mechanism to connect applications regardless of
technology or location and they are based on
Standard protocols with universal support (WMS
protocol by OGC specifications).

Non Technological improvements
SITAD has chosen to play an active role in the
national and international debate (in the
institutional forums) on harmonised spatial data
specifications and in general on arrangements for
the exchange of spatial data.

Non Technological improvements
For SITAD it is particularly important to implement
the available local and regional best practices
experiences in GI interoperable solutions and
transfer them into coordinated disseminations
actions to be transferred and spread across
Europe.

 Workshop
In 2005 Regional Administration organised promotional
workshops about the use of SITAD, as a direct
support to municipalities.
On 4 July 2006 there will be in Turin a workshop about
“SITAD General Rules of Use”

“SITAD General Rules of Use”
From now on SITAD will be regulated by a
specific and apposite set of regulations,
which all the subjects who enter and use
SITAD have to accept and comply with
Legal Interoperability

Conclusions
Thanks to the realization of a Thematic Network and a
Dissemination plan, it will be possible to consider
SITAD as a model of regional SDI which can
dialogue with other SDIs at different levels in order to
deliver cross-border information on geographic data.
