Abstract
Polish spatial data infrastructure dates back 2010, the year when the Spatial Information
Infrastructure Act transposing INSPIRE Directive entered into force. The present
study provides valuable insight into the current status of Polish spatial data infrastructure
(PSDI) as well as lessons learnt from so far efforts in implementing the principles and provisions
of the INSPIRE Directive. Particular respect is given to policy, interoperability of data
as well as cooperation between actors involved in PSDI establishment and maintenance.
Data managed by the Surveyor General (SG), perceived as a backbone of a spatial data
infrastructure, are of special importance. Finally, some conclusions and recommendations
for further developments are given to foster SDI implementation in Poland. Results of the
analysis clearly show that Polish spatial data infrastructure is in line with INSPIRE, and in
a half of way being fully operational.
