The Aporta Initiative participates in the X Iberian Conference on Spatial Data Infrastructures

The tenth edition of the Iberian Spatial Data Infrastructure Conference will be held in Cáceres on October 23, 24 and 25. On this occasion, the event will focus on spreading the role of the local IDE as a meeting point between administrations, companies and citizens.
Under the title "Local IDEs, bringing digital information to citizens", various technical sessions, workshops and round tables will be held. They will address topics such as the implementation of INSPIRE, the challenges and opportunities of local nodes, smart cities or new developments, web services and thematic applications of spatial data. And of course, the importance of open data will also be analyzed by the Aporta Initiative.
Jose Ignacio Sánchez, Deputy Director of Digital Economy of Red.es, will take part in the opening of the event with the presentation “Vision of the IDEE and INSPIRE by the open data portal of Spain”. This slot will address the actions in place in coordination with the Spanish geographic information access portal (IDEE). Likewise, the strengths of the INSPIRE directive will be analyzed as inspiring for the promotion of open data policies in the public sector at European level, including Directive (EU) 2019/1024, of June 20, 2019, regarding the reuse of public sector information. Once the presentation is finished, the technical session “Open data and e-administration” will take place, moderated by Marta Codinachs, from the Barcelona Provincial Council. This session address the data models shared between administrations and the mechanisms to measure the impact of open spatial information, showing examples and success stories, such as the SIG corporativo Local Space in the Cartagena City Council.
On the second day will address issues such as “Environmental IDE applications” or “Differences between official and unofficial geographic information”, a round table that will be moderated by Emilio López, of the National Center for Geographic Information (CNIG).
The last day will be a meeting of the ILAF OGC forum and the IDEE working group, where the LISIGE action plan or the good practices that an IDEE must comply with will be discussed.
