Abstract:
The long tradition of interoperability solutions for geospatial services appears as a challenge when new standards are taken into use in the general eGovernment development. Well-established geospatial service standards have to be adapted to the methods applied in public sector digital services. Issues related to this new integration challenge are discussed in the context of the newly introduced Finnish governmental service interoperability solution called National Data Exchange Layer. A project was initiated to investigate, how existing INSPIRE-compliant content services could be connected to this interoperability framework. Results of the pilot project indicate that in addition to the increased development burden and degraded service performance, there are also opportunities for luring new users to spatial data resources.
