The aim of the workshops is to strengthen the capacities of public authorities responsible for spatial data sources under their jurisdiction, enabling them to participate independently in the NSDI and contribute to improving the visibility and accessibility of spatial data.
The 47th and 48th NSDI workshops will be thematic workshops, intended for local self-government units that are already involved in the NSDI, i.e., registered in the NSDI Registers. The next step of their inclusion in the NSDI is entering metadata into the Metadata Catalogue on the NSDI Geoportal. The 47th workshop will focus on spatial data sources describing registers of communal infrastructure, while the 48th workshop will focus on spatial data sources describing registers of unclassified roads.
The 49th workshop is intended for local self-government units that are not yet registered as NSDI subjects but manage spatial data in accordance with the NSDI Act. The first step towards their inclusion in the NSDI is registration in the Register of NSDI subjects, followed by the registration of their spatial data sources in the Register of spatial data sources.
All workshops will be practical in nature. With expert guidance and support, participants will go through the procedures for entering and editing metadata, as well as registering spatial data sources. They will also become more familiar with the functionalities and benefits of using the NSDI Registers and the NSDI Geoportal.
