The SDI serve geospatial data about Basque Country using different standardized formats. The project promotes two key aspects: it makes information available for transborder researches on the one hand, and it promotes knowledge about the Basque Country on the other.

Currently, there are 48 layers available divided in seven different categories, most of them focusing on administrative and functional boundaries. Concerning the technological aspect, the internet portal Euskalgeo has been developed with the map server GeoServer, the metadata server GeoNetwork and the database management system PotsgreSQL+PostGIS. The visualization has been carried out using the library Leaflet.js. Finally, the implementation of the internet platform has been accompanied by a formation and communication strategy aiming to support the spatial analyses in the research developed in the territory covered by the SDI as well as interact with users.
