- Abstract
The Interactive Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Azores (IDEiA) aims to promote the sharing of geographic information about the Azores between the various entities responsible for the production of Geographic Information. Those entities integrate the regional thematic working groups, which were created to analyze and implement the technical specifications resulting from the INSPIRE Directive. In the Azores, the harmonization of spatial data sets is being made using the Humboldt Alignment Editor tool and the INSPIRE data model developed for the Region. The working groups are also working on the publication of view and download services in accordance to OGC standards. Metadata files were also created using the Azorean Metadata Manager (GeMA), which is a multifunctional tool that allows the production and edition of metadata files in conformance to the INSPIRE rules as well to the Portuguese Metadata Profile. Because of the work being carried out, it is noted that the Azores have played an important role in monitoring of the INSPIRE implementation in Portugal, contributing too to the presentation of positive results for the indicators related to the existence and conformity of the spatial data sets and services metadata files and the accessibility to them through discovery services.
